Well, yes. People are dying. But all I have to do is look over into the Middle East and I see American soldiers dying because of oil. Were we warring in Iraq over the control of oil, or was it because Bush's chronies needed something to keep their companies busy? I used to think it was the former;now the latter seems more likely. I guess the comparison is tenuous, but this country's economic future will live or die based on what choices we make in this decade about our energy future. It's not good enough to just say we want to diversify away from oil. We need legislation to make it happen. That is really the only thing I want from Obama. Nothing else matters to me as much as that. Weaning ourselves off of oil is a long term thing. Yes, we can take steps now.....and we are taking steps but the impact won't be felt for years. Taking care of our citizens is an immediate issue. IMO there is no excuse for the wealthiest country in the world to have people die because they don't have health insurance.
