Fear of Obama's massive spending plans and Democrat threats to nationalize large segments of the economy has caused the stock market slide.

No, Kenneth, your posting history would suggest you are in your usual orgasmic state when the market/economy is down. Just wait a day or two for an up-market-day, and the mental recession and attendant gloom will return for you. Meanwhile, hang in there! I guess I'm in a mental recession.

This pretty much sums it up, Kenneth... Here's what's going on. Democrats understand that there is a strong likelihood that oil prices will drop – perhaps a lot – if the United States announces that we're opening up ANWR, the Florida Gulf Coast, the outer continental shelf, the oil shale lands out west and other areas to oil exploration and recovery. OPEC countries would immediately put downward pressure on prices in hopes that they could derail or forestall the new American effort. Democrats also know that the voters in this country have this nasty tendency to blame – or credit – the party controlling the White House for good and bad economic news. Democrats won't do anything that might allow the Republicans to look good ... even if you have to pay five bucks a gallon for gas. boortz.com Diz-
