`uhuuh

huu

thank god

Thank god for somebody like obama

OBAMA ROCKS MY SOCKS!!!!!

i LIKE OBAMA BECAUSE I THINK HE IS A GREAT ROLE MODEL. HE SHOWS THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. HE PUT HIMSELF THROUGH THE BEST LAW SCHOOL. HIS PROPOSALS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT ARE EXCELLENT AND WILL PREVAIL

NOBODY LIKES McCOON

MCAIN IS INSANE HE IS A PAIN HE IS A STAIN

Students and What they Think

I find the political elections to be intriguing as a young student. The presidential races are in tight shape. Truthfully, the presidential candidates are doing their best and trying to help and we Americans should be grateful at the possibilities. Obama stays cool, calm and collective while McCain gets down to the point and uses himself to show that he knows what the Americans are feeling. Both of these candidates are willing to do whatever they can. This election makes a difference. Obama wants the war to stop and McCain says we need to stop what we started. These are two sides that make themselves right and wrong every second. Whoever wins these election, will have a tight schedule. America is not doing so well, with the crisis and the war. There's also the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the energy crisis, and the economic crisis as well.

it is a very spirtual story about the enviorment. Gas is going up very high and me and my family cant afford it

Tonights Presidential Debate

Watching the antics of McCains attack dog strategy will cost him the election. The use of his terminology in describing Senator Obama as "that one" was irreverent and condescending and certainly not presidential. I am 76 years old and I can afford to rate Mcain as a bigoted racist that is tearing his party to shreds. I would also if I were him, hide in shame every time he appears with Palin whose performance must rate very high in the corridors of reactionary history, viz a viz Father Coughlin and Adolph Hitler and his henchmen.

Vote wisely but VOTE!

natural gas extraction

I keep seeing your commercials on TV Mr. Pickens, speaking to the need to break our dependence on foreign oil. I agree with this. However I don't think that creating an environmental crisis is a good response to the energy crisis.

Please tell me how you would feel living in an area in which drilling for natural gas via fracking was going on? Would you feel safe? I don't. I resent the fact that drilling for natural gas is presented as a harmless, benign event which will save our country. It won't be good for the country if the Upper Delaware River watershed, which provides drinking water for over 15 million people becomes contaminated. How will you respond to this?
