First we have to get our citizens out of there safely with the possible exception of necessary embassy personnel. The President is not going to say much in the way of threats or sanctions until that has been accomplished. Right now, the weather is not cooperating so it may take a few more days.

Some here have itchy fingers and trigger temperements, this is not a time for hotheads. President Obama is of the perfect disposition for handling this delicate situation.

Tell the Libyans not to fear. The United States would never want to interfere with their concerns about removal of a blood thirsty, psychotic freak that should be in a band called, Kiss. Furthermore, the United States would NEVER want to interfere with his family, even though innocent people are rotting away in prisons. Why would the United States want to help their tourism trade, their life, their liberty, their human rights, Tell the world not to fear, the good old USA will just stand back and watch Regimes live off the wealth of their country while watching their civilians get beaten and their children starve. We good-for-nothing Americans are not like our previous GitMO Patriot Act Rendition warprofiteering mgmt Act. Just look at our protests here, Libya.

No, we won't interfere. We're just going to watch the ground EXPLODE under Gene Simmons ass in just a few hours. It's divine intervention. The rest of the family better run for cover. The ground is LOADED!

How is Mexico on the Human Rights Council?

Now Mexico, there is a country that knows how to handle the criminal alien problem in their country. We should take lessons from them. Right Brutus from CA?

They weren't visiting with the President but the First Lady.

Yes, you may have to give up your big SUVs, there is not an endless supply of oil anywhere. We all have to make sacrifices. A smaller car is one place to start, or high speed rail is another option.

Why is that when oil prices go p people always go with the "You need to get rid of your SUV and get a smaller car" line.

Fantastic, what about those who can't run out and uy a new car? What about those whose need force them to drive a truck or SUV?

All you think about is something stupid and simple to push your own ideas forward at any opportunity that presents itself. But it's not a sloution. How is giving the automobile industry more business, because oil speculators are raping everyone a valid solution.

Okay so everyone goes out and buys smaller cars, fantastic, you've reduced demand on the oil supply. Only now the oil industry continues to keep pace with the reduced demand for foreign oil, so that the next time there is some emergency in the middle est, we're in the same spot.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

We need real solutions to solve the oil situation, but that isn't going to come next year, or in 10 years. So until that time we need to increase our domestic production and keep it here so that we control our own fate, and can work obn moving ahead with alternative energy sources at the same time, not independent of each other.

First of all, GM, that is a distinction without a difference- they are still getting PAID by the taxpayers.

Secondly, you miss the story on the Motown concert tonight?

http://www.politico.com/click/stories/1102/motown_in_the_white_house.html

Guess who pays for that?

Congress needs to enact a hard cap on yearly expenses for the White House. The Obamas have proven that there are those who cannot be trusted without some kind of reins.

Presidents' and First Ladies have done that for many years, why the complaint with this President and First Lady? Wouldn't have anything to do with them being black as well as the Motown guests? Nah, that would never be a factor

There is a very simple reason-

No other president has spent so much in such a short period of time.

No other president had WEEKLY soirees, manned with the minimum number of other politicians, so the taxpayers would foot the bill.

No other president flew Air Force One for a dinner and show in New York for "date night" with the wife. Before you come up with "he paid"- be aware that what he paid was the equivalent of two first class plane tickets- but the cost to operate AF1, according to the GAO, is about $100,000 per hour. That includes the hours it was sitting on the ground in Newark, by the way. Not to mention. secret Service, closing city streets, and all the other expenses the taxpayers were on the hook for in conjunction with this "date".

How about the trip to the Whole Foods, that included twelve armored vehicles, shutting down six D.C. Blocks, because Mrs. Obama could not find anyone in the White House kitchen to go buy arugula.

Or did yup not know that city governments get compensated for the extra police needed for these little excursions?

The Obamas are as profligate with taxpayer money for their own be fit as they are with the rest of it. It is the height of hypocrisy for liberals, who denounced Nancy Reagan for organizing a gift to the taxpayers for new White House china to turn a blind eye to this profligacy.

It is why we call you "Worshippers". You never find any wrongdoing, no matter how egregious.

GBM: poor no jo is really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find things to criticize. You have it right. She simply cannot STAND the fact that a black man succeeded in winning the Presidency instead of her crush Hillary.

Ginger...

Forget cars, ships, planes, trains, trucks... consider the sheer number of pieces of equipment/machinery in the US that need oil to run. It has to be in the billions. I worked at operating nuclear plants (and fossil) and can say the amount of oil used... well, a lot.

Did you know that many power transformers are immersed in oil? They are due to cooling and electrical properties. I have no idea how many transformers there are in the US.

Back around 2000 a MagLev train was to be built along I95 between Baltimore & DC. I don't know why it didn't happen.

I don't think buying a small car makes any difference -- the entire town/city/state has to do it. I don't see that happening anytime soon and Brutus is right plus most won't be able to afford new vehicles.

A number of options for energy sources are out there but coming up with a new technology to run our world from a mechanical perspective will be difficult.

Too bad Marvin Gaye is dead.

Geez New Dawn, when will you libbies learn, it is not about the color of the man's skin, it is his stupid handling of the country that has everyone concerned.

Playing the race card and calling others ignorant when you have lost the argument is getting old, but then again, it seems to be the RUNNER way.

NJNB, the same people who paid for President Bush to fly to California to celebrate Sen John Mccains birthday bash & oh BTW, while a Major American City Drowned!

Thats Who!

Anymore questions before you drink your Pi$$ & Vinegar Metamucil before going to bed?

Lady, I really think you're gonna endup with Nerve problems before president Obama leaves in Jan-2016.

nojo, prove your nonsensical claim. List for me and all to see, every penny that the Obamas have spent so far that is not in the White House budget and that is provided for the necessary life style of a sitting President and First Lady.

Then show me how "little", GWB spent for the same functions......and dont forget to list all the times he flew to Crawford to cut brush, on Air Force One. Or when he flew to AZ to celebrate John McCain's birthday, instead of paying attention to the unfortuanate citizens of New Orleans as Katrina almost blew them away and killed so many of them... I can give you a list, this is just for openers.

You seem to forget, or maybe just didn't know, that whether or not you or anyone else dislikes a duly elected President of the United States, he IS the President of ALL THE PEOPLE and therefore every year there is an assortment of people honored and featured almost every day.

President Obama is the first occupant of the WH who is monitored 24/7, now I am not sure if he is held to a different standard because he is the first AA President or whether it is just today's technology makes it easier for relentless gossip, I suspect it is some of both. In any case, all it tells me you weren't paying much attention to any of our former Presidents and how life is at the People's House on a daily basis no matter who the occupant may be.

Geez woman, you have darn well lost all sense of perspective and reality, you need to take a few steps back and take a deep breath or two or better yet take a few days off and get rid of some of that unnatural hate you have for this poor guy. You are boring.

NDD, did you ever read such nonsense from nojo. Is is possible for someone who claims to have varying degrees to be that dense or that ignorant. No question skin pigment and I think gender to some extent, plays a big role in her daily rants. You know, if she could just make a cogent argument or statement I might have a little more patience, but it is bloody nonsense and half truths. She is worse than a dam* bad lawyer trolling for bottomfish.
