How do you feel about McCain’s choice for his running mate? Sen. John McCain today announced Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential candidate. Palin, 44, has been governor of Alaska since 2006. I like the fact that she entered a beauty contest to win a scholarship. No acne problems were going to keep this gal from going to college and moving up in the world. She studied journalism and worked as a sports journalist until deciding to get into politics. She became a city council woman and went on to become mayor of her hometown. Eliminating taxes was her main goal as mayor. She is well versed in the field of oil and gas resources. Palin held the position of chairman of the Alaska’s Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. I hope that gives her the tools to help our country get out of this oil crisis. Palin is the mother of five, of which the youngest was diagnosed in utero with downs syndrome.

I just heard on the news that the oil executives for the large oil corporations pay their top executives 30 million dollars per year. Can you imagine? Who needs an income of $30 million dollars when the regular citizen has trouble putting food on their table and buying clothing for their children. That is an atrocity. They should be ashamed.

The oil man shown on the news said that he is justified in the salary because he re-invests the money. I wish I could slap the grin off his face. In the meantime, consumer debt gets worse as people turn to credit to make ends meet.

Top executives from ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, BP and Shell Oil were summoned to Capitol Hill for a little Q&A with Congress. Will anything come of this meeting? Has the Bush Administration and the Republican Congress provided favors to the big oil companies? How can we turn this around?
