It appears as if our president and both houses of Congress have no idea how to restart the economy and employment. I do not believe they should be re-elected to represent us in Washington.

Exxon/Mobil has posted second quarter profits of $10.7 billion. That’s an increase of 41 percent over last year.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that as soon as gas prices went sky-high, our economy fell. I don’t understand why the politicians can not understand this.

Those who are responsible for the artificially high gas prices are, in my opinion, a bigger threat to this country than al-Queda.
