McCain Credits Bush For Drop In Oil Price

A few days ago Senator John McCain, GOP candidate for the Oval Office, credited the drop in oil price to President Bush's decision to allow offshore drilling. Keeping in tune with the campaign season and his chief rival, Senator Barack Obama, Democratic candidate, who opposes drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf, McCain argued that Obama wants us to stay depended on Middle Eastern oil. But, regardless of where McCain or Obama stand is on this issue the drop of oil prices is the result of Arab fear of American ingenuity, creativity, and anger of Arabic manipulation of oil.

The oil barons of the Middle East, West Africa and South America realized a few days ago that Americans have decided not to be pushed and manipulated any longer in reference to petroleum. The consumption of oil last month in the United States dropped to almost half of the previous month. American scientist and businessmen are answering the call of the public to quickly find new sources of energy and to cultivate and use the oil supplies that are located off our coast. In addition, our cultural dependency of oil is changing right before our eyes. For instance, we are driving less, and when we do drive we're obeying the speed limit; we're are gradually becoming a walking community again; bicycles are in fashion--it is common now to see men in suits and business ladies riding bikes to work; public transportation is being used more in places like Orlando, Tampa, and Denver; while automobile companies are discarding gas hogs for fuel efficient cars. In light of this our Arab friends have decided to throw us the bone of temporary cheaper gas. But it's too late.

One thing about Americans is that we don't crumble and crack under pressure. Our history has demonstrated that we'll ride out the storm while also producing the necessary items or laws that will ultimately protect our culture and way of life. Like Malcolm X stated, "the cream always rises to the top."

The United States, the greatest nation in the history of mankind, has decided to rekindle the independence, the drive, and the positive arrogance--"that we can do it better than anyone else," to once again lead the world toward productivity. On this tip the Revolution or Change that is being employed by Obama and McCain is really the thesis of the American people. That is, a Change back to independence, strength, and progressivism.

Hi, Vibert.

It was the efforts of all of us that is bringing oil prices down. You're right about that. I know that I'm driving less and walking more. I also plan my errands so I can do as many things as possible in one trip. We can't let ourselves be victimized by other countries.
