Urgent Economic Update! |

Bob’s comments on the recent economic troubles in the States and elsewhere, and how these could be ameliorated in both the short as well as long term:
I don’t know what you paid for your last gas fill-up, but my 20 gallons this past Tuesday, 29 April cost me $61.27, probably a new, all time high for this non-wealthy individual.
I could (barely?) afford it, and God knows how this $61.27—at about national average, $3.429/gallon regular—or anywhere near that amount, might have hit many others in our beloved country.
Truckers, in particular, are hurting.
And everyone is hurting at the grocery store. It takes GAS (or diesel) to ‘get that stuff to us….’
‘It’s the economy, stupid,’ the battle cry from Bill Clinton’s 1992 Campaign against George Herbert Walker Bush, is returning for duty again.

General Petraeus’ Letter to Bob |
|
|
|
Sunday, 24 February 2008 |
|
General Petraeus's letter to Bob was in the wake of his second letter to President Bush regarding matters in the Middle East, and read as follows:
Baghdad, 23 March, 07
Dear Bob-
Thanks for your letter and the wonderful proposal for The Mother of All Diplomatic Initiatives! I was pleased to see that you sent your proposal to Amb-to-be-Crocker, as well—as I'm happy to have him pursue such items while we get on with soldiering—albeit with a keen eye on the strategic environment.
Again, thanks/best-
Dave Petraeus
Bob is—as is General Petraeus—a West Point grad, which adds to his capabilities to both communicate 'up and down the lines' of the military, as well as to undestand matters in that realm.

The Independent
I took good note of Dick Prosapio's letter in last week's issue of The Independent ("U.S. is involved in a bad marriage").
He is entirely correct-this president and his administration deserve little if any sympathy regarding the Iraq disaster.
And "underdog" has nothing to do with it.
If anyone were the underdog, it would have been Saddam Hussein.
What Dick and others may not understand—although he might, and if he does, so much the better—is that this war was programmed from early on in the administration, and even possibly prior to the administration taking office in January 2O01.

Petraeus is last chance in Iraq |
|
|
|
Tuesday, 06 February 2007 |
|
The Independent President Bush's State of the Union speech last week had its ups and downs. Mostly downs. The President left the war in Iraq for last, and said little if anything new. He said the troops (those 21,000 extra ones, if you remember) are on the way. Give us a chance to show that now this (really, really, really) will make a difference. Unspoken was the fact that the president is “barreling them out the door” so that they'll arrive in Iraq before Congress has a chance to vote on funding to support them. Well, maybe. The one chance the president has is Dave Petraeus, scheduled to be promoted to four star general. I'm a West Pointer from ’61 and I know something about Dave Petraeus, ’74. He's the best we've got. But stated, as he arrived in Iraq the first time around, "Tell me how this ends.” |

GEORGE W BUSH,
President of the United States of America,
The White House,
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.,
Washington, DC 20500
Subject: Middle East Proposal
Mr. President-
I am recently out of the scenario of having been removed from the ballot as an Independent for NM US House seat 1, based on a State Democratic Party of New Mexico signature challenge. Allowing for the close results of this race just concluded, and my own political leanings, I am sure you will understand why Heather Wilson would have been delighted if I’d stayed on the ballot, and Patsy Madrid, the Democratic candidate, needed to do her best to be sure I was off.
