Why does every post have to degenerate into attacking Obama. So I get it, a few of you hate they guy. Get over it, go out and vote. Democracy works, The majority spoke, there will be a change back to the right, just like a pendulum of a clock. It's inevitable.

Gets kinda old after a while, would be nice to just have some comments without it becoming a bash Obama or the left, or the middle at every opportunity.


I put more blame on the greedy speculators, they are more responsible for the high price of gas, than any one government or leader of any nation.

After all..isn't that free enterprise, or capitalism?

just my opinion

60% taxes on gas in England
BTW.. PM Cameron of the British Government is a Conservative, not a Liberal

and why do you defend our POTUS ? And the run up down here started right after he VETOED the keystone pipe line that set the tone that he'd not let the oil get to market.
And yes Cameron is on the Right in England, But he's no Maggie. And the gas tax over there has been like that for yrs. They need it to support all the hand outs. That's what we're trying to stop.

I didn't defend anyone.
I was told so unceremoniously last year to keep my nose out of AMERICAN politics last year. Do you remember that one? So I do.

I was only stating the fact that it seems like a few enjoy turning every post into a political soapbox. Once said is enough, but to continuously harp on it loses effect.

Would have been nice to just say, "Glad I'm not British"

Looks like a condominium for birds over your flybridge !!!

Paul,
Do you have another boat in mind or are you bailing on the boating scene for a while?
