Re: General Motors' Remark

From what I have read about the oil companies, most of the oil in North 
America comes from Canada and then the US. They use very little oil from 
elsewhere. Europe is using mostly Middle Eastern and Russian oil.

Yup, that's right. It's no wonder that a country like Qatar which had
a per capita income of like $20,000 a couple of years ago now has a
per capita income of OVER $70,000. I mean instead of giving some rich
shieks all your money by filling up your SUVs gigantic tanks so that
they can have more gold faucets on their private jets, more harem full
of the best women money can buy, more garages full of Bentleys,
Ferraris, and Rolls, why don't you give that money to some poor
starving American kids instead?
