Got your attention with that title…didn’t I.
I’ve been saying that I think McCain will win. But that I am an Obama supporter.
But from electoral-vote:

In the recent statement by Obama about offshore drilling, there has apparently been selective editing taking place at the AP to delete this paragraph.
Here’s an earlier release which contains the whole Obama quote.
Later versions of this AP piece leave out this paragraph, and ‘news outlets’ like the NYT are not quoting this paragraph.
"Like all compromises, it also includes steps that I haven’t always supported," Obama conceded. "I remain skeptical that new offshore drilling will bring down gas prices in the short-term or significantly reduce our oil dependence in the long-term, though I do welcome the establishment of a process that will allow us to make future drilling decisions based on science and fact."

What Is a ‘Windfall’ Profit?
August 4, 2008
The “windfall profits” tax is back, with Barack Obama stumping again to apply it to a handful of big oil companies. Which raises a few questions: What is a “windfall” profit anyway? How does it differ from your everyday, run of the mill profit? Is it some absolute number, a matter of return on equity or sales — or does it merely depend on who earns it?

Too Fit to Be President?
Facing an Overweight Electorate,
Barack Obama Might Find
Low Body Fat a Drawback

Speaking to donors at a San Diego fund-raiser last month, Barack Obama reassured the crowd that he wouldn’t give in to Republican tactics to throw his candidacy off track.
“Listen, I’m skinny but I’m tough,” Sen. Obama said.
But in a nation in which 66% of the voting-age population is overweight and 32% is obese, could Sen. Obama’s skinniness be a liability? Despite his visits to waffle houses, ice-cream parlors and greasy-spoon diners around the country, his slim physique just might have some Americans wondering whether he is truly like them.
The candidate has been criticized by opponents for appearing elitist or out of touch with average Americans. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll conducted in July shows Sen. Obama still lags behind Republican John McCain among white men and suburban women who say they can’t relate to his background or perceived values.
“He’s too new … and he needs to put some meat on his bones,” says Diana Koenig, 42, a housewife in Corpus Christi, Texas, who says she voted for Sen. Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary.
“I won’t vote for any beanpole guy,” another Clinton supporter wrote last week on a Yahoo politics message board. Continue reading…
Have you noticed the amazing intellectual quality of this blog? from all subjects from finance to energy, political, tax and economic theory we have experts who know so much.
It’s all an illusion bolstered by large words and Google.
(At least in my case )
gladly admit to staying out of economics more then just a light skimming. And the best part is there is no right or wrong, because science is a fucking art.
I actually do learn quite a bit on here through links. Have to say,the conversation on here is a hell of a lot more informative and intellectual than what i can get where i’m currently living and working.
P.S.
My IQ is 11ty million, i knows everything!
