Election '08 & Iraqi Oil

"We are on the verge of becoming a socialist country. This election puts the private sector directly at odds with the public sector and we are about to find out which will control the vast majority of jobs and wealth creation in this country. Barack Obama is not just the most liberal senator in the country. Barack Obama is a committed socialist."

Democrats are in panic mode. They can't understand why Obama isn't ahead and cry racism, just as Obama did in Hollywood.

CNN: Cafferty

AP: Sebelius

ABC: Obama

TIME: Obama & the Elephant


"Obama is desperate. That's what this ad is all about. He's desperate to make everybody think we're on the brink of economic ruin and the reason we're on the brink of economic ruin is there hasn't been enough government."

Barack Obama ripped his country again at his Hollywood fundraiser. He said that if he loses this election, the country will get "meaner."

Democrats Killed Iraq's Deal with US Oil Companies

Thanks to three American senators, China will be pumping Iraqi oil. 

The Iraqi government was poised to sign no-bid contracts with those firms this summer to help make immediate and needed improvements in Iraq's oil infrastructure. The result would have been significant foreign investment in Iraq, an expansion of Iraqi government revenues, and an increase in the global supply of oil. One would have thought that leading Democratic senators who claim to be interested in finding other sources of funding to replace American dollars in Iraq, in helping Iraq spend its own money on its own people, and in lowering the price of gasoline for American citizens, would have been all for it. Instead, Senators Chuck Schumer, John Kerry, and Claire McCaskill wrote a letter to Secretary of State Rice asking her "to persuade the GOI [Government of Iraq] to refrain from signing contracts with multinational oil companies until a hydrocarbon law is in effect in Iraq." The Bush administration wisely refused to do so, but the resulting media hooraw in Iraq led to the cancellation of the contracts, and helps to explain why Iraq is doing oil deals instead with China.
