I just experienced a rush! ... a rush of traffic ... a rush of thought.
A friend of mine called me for help. He had run out of gas on the I-480 Valley View bridge. Being that I live in a state of Independence in the city of Independence, that bridge is just about one mile away. So I hopped in the truck, full gas can in hand, and made it quickly to the point where he and his amazing dog were stranded. Most anyone in the Cleveland area knows this bridge. It traverses the Cuyahoga valley. Let me tell you, the flow of traffic is swift! I naturally pulled up behind his vehicle with my flashers on. I didn't get out of the car. I was just watching the traffic pour by us in the side view mirror while my friend poured in the gas. I could feel my truck swaying in response to the buffeting waves of air from the quickly passing vehicles.
The experience gave me a direct feel of how vitally important it is to have the free flow of oil. Domestic production of oil is vital! This is where Obama can be taken down. The campaign against Obama is like powerpoint presentation. Point, click, next screen. Start with oil and bowing to the Saudis. Work back to the first amendment stomping, Keystone clampdown, Solyndra, Fast and Furious, healthcare takeover (deemed as passed), Government Motors (screw the bondholders), and finish up with Joe the plumber (spread the wealth). You can work back from there to Jeremiah Wright, Acorn, Saul Alinsky, etc.
This is where the Newt option becomes viable. He has Palin in line for energy secretary (in my opinion) and Caine lined up for commerce. Newt possesses the quality of a statesman. He is articulate and can communicate the common sense of Obama absurdity. I still don't like the Abramoffian ties with Newt. But I'm just throwing it out there. I see Newt re-emerging.
