Amazing that we can put a man on the moon in less than a decade but somehow over 40-50 years cannot invent a reasonably priced car that runs on something other than oil.

But would that be in the best interests of the auto unions, big oil, etc. that have poured 100's of millions of $$'s into elections for the last 50 years??

Big oil, I would agree with you. Auto Unions, it shouldn't have as it would have been still auto production.

As soon as real journalists stand up and refuse to continue to report the Obama talking points!! So possibly never, or at least until the "tingle" quits running up their legs??

 

Because we all know that only one side has "talking points." :lol:

Even crazier is that we can put a man on the moon but when it comes to fighting a flood, the most advanced technology still involves shoveling sand into a sack and stacking it.

I read politcial threads and see why our country spins its wheels. Because each side is quick to blame the other for everything.

 

It was cloudy today. Gotta be because of the Democrats and their environmental stance. Or it's gotta be the Republicans because of the economy.

 

Our nation has resorted to a finger-pointing society with the flames fanned by talking heads on the TV and radio who do nothing to solve the problem -- only to tell you who is to blame for it.

 

Unfortunately, the follower sheep to these talking heads are now quick to point a finger instead of rolling up our sleeves and solving the problem.

 

I hate the way politics has ruined this country.

A lot of truth in this post.

I totally agree, sadly the President has followed the same steps as the talking heads.

Lots of folks want to significantly downsize government. Then wonder where it is when there's an oil hemorrhage to manage.

I think most are doing like me, a little turnabout. If it was "Bush's fault for Katrina this is Obama's fault" kind of thing. Funny how the side that played the blame game in the past doesn't like it now. Like The Scribe said, that's what's wrong with politics today.

It doesn't matter who is at fault now. It happened. Now we need to fix it. Unfortunately, I'd say the politicians would let the oil keep spilling if they could gain political points by blaming another group, or to prevent someone from getting credit for helping to stop it.

:thumb: Exactly, it's like this country has become a bunch of 5th grade school girls blaming the other for stealing their boyfriend. Who cares whose fault it was, that's irrelevant, we still have to fix the problem. If you do wanna blame anybody, blame Kevin Costner for not speaking out soon enough that he could fix the spill. Just kidding.

:thumb: Sad to say, but I'd say you are absolutely correct. That's how crazy both sides have become.

As have many presidents.

Most, maybe, but not all. Some of us didn't play the "Katrina was Bush's fault" blame game a few years ago.
