The Pakistani compound occupied by terrorist Osama Bin Laden for several years is being demolished. The demolition is being conducted under tight security, according to informed sources.
COMMENTS:
I’m actually surprised.
I had a feeling that the place would be enshrined. It could be of great historical interest,
somewhat akin to Mt. Vernon or Lincoln’s tomb.
I’m surprised the liberal left isn’t all over this.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I am concerned about the ability of the Republican Party
to beat Obama in November. Right now, things are getting better for Obama as a
whole and the Republicans are beating each other up. What do you think? (Benny ~ Hayfork, CA)
A. I agree with you.
But, it’s not just the candidates.
The party itself is split with conservatives on the one side and “moderates”
on the other. The moderates are the left
wing of the Republican Party and they don’t seem to want anything to do with
the right wing. Contrary to what the “moderates”
would have you believe, I do not think the party will totally unite behind
Romney in order to beat Obama; many will stay home in total disgust with the
party. Still others will have vinegar on
their French fries.
Q. I’ve heard a lot of predictions about how high the price
of gas will get. What’s your opinion?
(Lars- Truckee, CA)
A. You’ll be angry at me for saying this, but $5.00 is the
probability and $7.00 is a possibility.
The natural result is going to be a decline in the economy and higher
unemployment which will hurt Obama’s reelection prospects. On that basis alone, I wouldn’t mind seeing
$7.00 a gallon. Would you make that
tradeoff?
Q. Should Obama get into the national oil reserves in order
to keep prices down? (Kevin ~ Redondo
Beach, CA)
A. No way. That
reserve is there to keep us with fuel in the event of a worldwide shortage of
supply. If he taps it, it can only be
short-term and I don’t think he would consider that until just before the
November election. Even so, it can only
reduce the price at the pump by a few cents per gallon and for a limited
time. What he should do, of course, is to approve the Keystone Pipeline, but he
has backed himself into a political corner over that issue. As long as he’s there, maybe he should put on a
dunce cap.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“With only
2 percent of the world's proven reserves of oil, we in the United States can
pump until we are blue in the face and it will not change the fact that we need
more diverse and more secure sources of energy.” ~ Zack
