This is a press release.

My name is on it because I put it up, just Chris Downey or Christopher Maye, who work for me put up press releases.

I have nothing good to say about Obummer.

WOW ~~~ Stan says something positive about the President!!! Mark this day on my calendar.

I am surprised that an Administration blocking the XL pipeline over environmental concerns would consider offshore drilling over alternate energy sources like wind, solar, tidal changes. I suspect the power and wealth of Koch Industries even invades the Democrats in DC. Who the heck knows for sure???

Personally, I see great danger in messing with oil in the graveyard of the Atlantic and adjacent to the Gulf Stream which runs all the way to Greenland. If you have been out there, as I have, you recognize the pristine waters that compose it.

What concerns me most is man's greed vs. preservation of natural resources we could lose with stupid moves. I have been to Europe. They have no forests left to provide cheap materials so individuals can own homes. What they do still have is carefully managed and not nearly adequate for poor working people to have cheaper housing.

The rich own all the houses and lease them to the working masses. Cut it as you please, but America was built on the dream of common people working and making enough to own their own home. Will that dream continue depends on what we allow the rich to have and do in this Golden Dream . . .
