Oil $300.00 a Barrel, or more by mid 2009

When market forces play out and capitalism does what capitalism does, make money, people stretched to what they feel comfortable paying to live scream “Ouch!”

How dare those people who own the oil fields charge what the market will pay? I mean when 150 million middleclass Chinese become 300 million middleclass Chinese and want to live the middle class life, how dare they bid up the price of crude oil for their 600 million beautiful and satisfying cars and SUVs?

Buying and paying for what you want is the middle class way of life whatever your ethnicity, color, religion or nation of origin.

So, those middle class Chinese and Indians and booming capital market people want what we want. And; they can pay for it.  When you auction off resources, those who can pay the most usually get the resources. In 1997 the middleclass Chinese imported about a million barrels of oil a day from Opec sources. Now the Chinese import 3 and one half million barrels of opec oil a day. The U.S. imports 10 million barrels of oil a day.

What we’re seeing is capitalism in action. Capital is going where there is money to be made. If I want the gas, I pay the price. So does everybody. Sniveling about it helps nobody.

Working class Americans are mad. After years of preaching economic self sufficiency and capitalistic enterprise, those darned Chinese and Indian middleclass people are working hard and doing what capitalists do- buy. They’re buying crude oil, food supplies and whatever else makes them feel happy, just like us.

Now, gasoline may very well hit $5.00 a gallon by December, the cost of food is up and up. And vacations to our favorite familytopia cost more and more.

Truthfully, it’s no conspiracy, it’s just capitalism.

Farmers in Argentina are building agricultural powerhouses and amazing infrastructure that can and will beat the pants off of American farmers. The same is true for industrial and technical infrastructure in China and India.

Guess what America, things have changed. Unfortunately, few promises from presidential candidates will actually take us back to the days of easy dominate capitalism. Capital flows where there is money to be made. In Mumbai India a billionaire built an entire skyscraper just for his family home. 4 million feet to cuddle his wife and children and their 300 servants.

Many Americans have stopped dreaming big, big, big. Those who dream big and pursue those dreams with vigor will prosper.

John McCain is no Ronald Regan. However, Ronald Regan probably couldn’t live up to  his mythical stature even if we could clone him, his personality and his allure. The ghost of R.R. cast a long shadow and living up to myths is a difficult thing to do.

John McCain is a war hero, a United States Senator and a voice for secular Libertarian Republicans who value wealth and look for pragmatic ways to get what they want. Secular Libertarian Republicans tolerate people who hold to strong values, only as long as they can be manipulated. When strong value holding conservatives get in the way of Libertarian pragmatism Libertarians call them agents of intolerance. John McCain has called Social Value conservatives such names.

John McCain is an American Hero, yet the chances I’ll vote for him are very slim. I admire senator McCain, his family, his devotion to country and his service. The things I can’t accept about him are deal breakers though. I wish they weren’t but they are.

How to Filet a lame duck

In the waning months of a presidency, many former loyal rodents decide to cash in on their association with the prez and serve up a book or two of flaming lame duck. There are several reasons-Money being the primary-and yet I can’t help but feel bad for the sliced and diced foul being served up for the opponents literary consumption.

On one hand you elevate people to the center of attention, and then they defecate on you for cash, book deals and speaking tours.

I’m glad I’m not the president, not running for president and not related or familiar with anybody likely to become president. Becoming president is like playing the reality show survivor. You have to out lie, out whore, out twist and out spend the other knuckle heads. Then the lame and weak members of the posse swoop in and pick over the carcass and win the prize.

So, I expect more servings of flaming George Bush to appear in the next months and years-the Looney left is salivating for the books and movies.

Is the Obama Campaign a coup de tat?

I remember the 1976 election for president. Jimmy Carter took the election on a song and a prayer; gave Panama away; ran up record inflation; helped the ruling junta of theocratic Islamists who we’re still fighting in the middle east into power; humiliated the country; let the soviets run wild; got President Sadat of Egypt killed;   and pretty much devastated the country.

Should Obama win the actual final count of democrat nomination and win the general election I expect him to follow the steps of the former President Peanut Carter.

I keep reminding everybody that the election is not a game of horse shoes. Close doesn’t win the game. Getting the required delegate vote does. Despite what the press and pundits say, Obama does not have the official delegate count.

The race is a contest. If two runners are not to the finish line yet, the lead runner can’t stop, declare himself winner, tell the other runner to stop because he’s already won by getting close to the finish line.

For the good of the party lay down, let the lead runner declare victory even though he hasn’t really won yet; because getting close to the finish has earned him the right to win.

Obama has not won the required 2025 votes with the actual voters, will only get the nomination by manipulating party fat cats-super delegates, has not won in a straight up election and is trying to declare a coup de tat.
