Obama said emphatically "No boots on the ground in Libya". Of course Neo-cons will have all kinds of problems with that ie we have LOADS OF MONEY for war (as usual) & we gotta keep stirring the pot for a literal "armagheddon".

State legislature? I agree shred everything they have done & send them home for a 21 month vacation.

...against Geo W Bush; politically...remember...the 2 unfunded wars,humungous tax cut etc... I love Laura & voted for Geo H Bush, still love "the ole man". In 'my next life' I would adore Ronald Reagan as my grandfather (much prefer Jimmy Carter as president) & my all time favorite First Lady is Nancy Reagan - I looove that woman and always will. My best friend is "old fashioned" republican, maybe even a little neo-connish, I still love "her". You?

...my husband & I were discussing oil speculation. What Mr MacClellan speaks of is highway robbery IMHO. I read a little about commodities markets in 90s (too "risky" for me). I do appreciate speculation at least in food commodities. Nothing short of 'heroic' that markets are in place which bear the financial risk all the way from planting a seed of corn in Kansas then keeping its market "afloat" till the "fruit" reaches my table in form of a can of corn. I am not being critical of commodities markets.

Re Mr MacClellan's letter 1. Are there speculators who literally buy a storage containers full of oil during a mideastern crisis hoping (maybe even manipulating) news in mideast (FOX); in fact betting that the FEAR of higher oil prices will in fact drive up price resulting in huge profits? 2. Is there a "bet" market whereby speculators can bet (& hope) for a disruption in the "pipeline" of oil from Libya to Europe...opportunistic moment...just a bet, but certainly would spin in the news?

Could you give me a paragraph or 2 on macroeconomics - commodities markets - speculation?

Thank you for the informative letter Mr MacClellan.

P.S. Ken St Cyr, gotta change the subject, eh? Abe, I like it "HOS" syndrome ;

...Sure enough, it's on the internet! Then I went to cbo.gov and clicked on Analysis of President's 2012 Budget. The sky is not falling. Nice moon!

...I have lived in Concord area for 31 years, but I love gourmet food. My favorite is French. Chateaubriande is my specialty. My HOPE & dream is: 2014 I launch my French themed business (4 major profit centers a dozen or so minor profit centers) . My business model is formed from a combination of Ben & Jerry's,Old Mill Restaurant,TWA and Walmart, of course blended with my own experiences including admin of 3 small businesses. I expect you will hear it advertised in the Concord Monitor ;;;
