Oil, Jobs, Coupons, Obama and An Engagement

Published by tsjohnson5 at 8:00 pm under Barack Obama Edit This

Well, they said oil would hit $150 a barrel by the 4th of July and on the eve of the 4th oil closed at $145.29. Close enough. You can expect oil to reach $150 a barrel next week. Instead of “How low can you go,” the new game will be “How high can oil go.”

And as American’s continue to cut back on spending because of skyrocketing energy prices, employers continue to cut jobs, shedding 62,000 jobs in May. No wonder coupon use has stopped its 16 year decline. From MSNBC:

Amid soaring fuel costs and a housing and credit crisis, Americans last year halted a 16-year trend of declining redemptions by turning in 2.6 billion manufacturers’ coupons, according to CMS Inc., a coupon processing agent and promotions logistics service based in Winston-Salem, N.C. That marked the first year since 1992, when nearly 8 billion coupons were used, that redemptions had not fallen.

And they say they say the country is not in a recesssion. Right. And Bill Clinton did not have sexual relations with that woman. I’m just sayin’.

asks if Obama is a, “shrewd politician?” I say, do you have to ask? I mean he blazed on the scene winning a non-contest for Senator in 2004, parlayed that win into prime booking at the 2004 national convention, ran for the democratic nominee for president against the biggest and (best) dem political machine since Kennedy–and won…and you have to ask if he’s shrewd? Yeah okay.

And wedding bells will be ringing soon (we think) for none other then Charlie Crist, Florida’s gay governor. Seems like he wants the Veep spot and he needed a wife to help allay those pesky rumors that he likes boys and not girls. Of course getting engaged to a woman clears that right on up. I mean a governor of a major state wouldn’t be married to a woman, only for it to come out later that he was gay…would he? ‘Course not.

Till Next Time.
