Buying Domestic, Good or Bad

I'm not blaming GWB for everything but to deny that he (and his sidekick) is the reason for the price of gas/oil shows your mentality and which side of the fence you stand on. If you want to applaud his Harvard education... damn, you hear the same speeches I hear. Standing there laughing at criticism because he doesn't know what else to do. What a joke.

Interesting thread. It always is when Kell, Jim, and Rick are involved. But I think GWB is an Eli (Yale) rather than Harvard. To illustrate my opinion on the cars, I'll just say that my family drives a 2000 ES300, 2004 Sequoia, and then there's my beloved 1966 Stang. As far as dependibility, comfort, and value go, I couldn't ask for more than the Jap cars deliver. As far as fun goes, I'll take my '66 Stang any day (even without radio, AC, and heat, LOL).

To tell you the truth, I really didn't know he didn't attend Harvard. I was just going on something Jim said a couple years ago where he said(or I thought he said) that Bush had a degree from Harvard and Yale. I may be mistaken but I do have a pretty good memory. Though I don't know what colleges he allegedly attended, his rehab and dwi do easily come to mind.

Well Rick, conversely, to blame the President and Vice President of the United States for the price of gas and infer that they are part of some sinister conspiracy to keep the price high (for what...some sort of personal gain?) shows your clear lack of cognitive functions when it comes to Bush as well as a gross misunderstanding of both economics and politics. Thanks for making that clear for us.

George W. Bush has two degrees from Yale University. He is obviously inarticulate in many instances but that does not equate to a lack of intellect...it just makes it easy for his less-educated and lower-achieving detractors to mock him and feel superior even if they could never rise to the elected positions George W. Bush has.

As for President Bush 'laughing at criticism'....what would you have him do? Engage in shouting, name-calling arguments with reporters badgering him with accusations disguised as 'questions'? The president has to maintain a level of decorum others do not and all presidents laugh off criticism - because they have to.
