And Barack sent the space program over to Russia. Barack is a hypocrite and is arrogant. Also, when Barack came out and said under pen your utilities will increase, that was an arrogant thing to say. I think that Mitt Romney and the Republicans need to put fire into the campaign and rebut false claims. We have been laid off because of the downsizing, so we know that these things happen. We have to become a lean country and not spend everything that we have. Also, Barack will not allow us to develop energy, but gave three billion dollars to Brazil to develop their energy, and he wanted the United States to be their biggest customer. Well, there have been one or two pipelines that came through Oklahoma and Kansas, and the other one came from Canada, and he turned these opportunities down. Now Canada is trying to sell their oil to China. Also, when the Gulf oil spill occurred he stopped all oil drilling and the wells. Therefore, all the wells have gone to different countries.
