When one thinks of energy, the thoughts about economic growth rarely come into play. In fact, most take it for granted.

I received a lot of flak, and some insults, for my previous post castigating Romney for lacking joie de vivre, but he came out swinging and left the president looking for his teleprompter. While some posted polls in the comment section to show Romney’s campaign [...]
It’s no surprise Obama lost the debate, even for his own campaign. The Obama camp floated the idea that the president would be under-prepared for the debate early last week. Jim Messina, arguably the brains behind the president’s campaign strategy, had a nationwide campaign conference call outlining just that. Even the president himself joined the [...]
