The same goes for the economy. Aside from changing income tax rates, the POTUS cannot greatly influence the economy. All he/she can do is try to take credit/try to deflect blame for the economy of his/her term.

Got it?

BTW, this thread ought to be in Off Topic.

Yeah ........... guess that's why Cheney won't release the notes from his energy meetings which included the oil industry ........... that was before Enron almost bankrupted California wasn't it ........... and the home energy is sooooo much more expensive ........ as far as oil ..... the fact is that the oil companies own everything from alot of the wells to the refining to the gas stations ............ I'm old enough to remember when the gas crises hit and gas went from 30 cents to over a dollar ......... how the oil companies said it wasn't their fault and brought in experts to say that the earth was running out of oil etc etc etc .......... please don't tell me that when their profits are greater than any other company at anytime in the world ............ if you believe the above then I bet the easter bunny will be real good to you tooo ......

Oh boy a pissing contest.
Let me get a chair, stand back about 25 feet and watch bladders blow.
This is as much fun as trying to figure out if Janet Reno stands or squats to urinate.

OK, as someone who lived in Canada for 10 years this is one point I actually have to agree on. I consider myself Democrat but knowing what universal health care is like and also working in the pharma industry I have a hard time with the Democratic take on this issue.

My buddy had to wait 9 months for an MRI on his knee because it was not 'high priority'. universal health care has its merits but for 'low priority' procedures it sucks.

You still have not told us how the next POTUS is going to lower the price of oil. If you believe he/she WILL, then back it up. Don't throw out innuendo about Cheney as "evidence."

(No pissing match here, guys. I just want reasonable arguments.)
