US Report by P.E.Doff

Oil, oil everywhere but not a drop in the car

US voters are facing the November Congressional elections secure in the knowledge that Sarah Palin wont be elected to anything.

The consensus in Washington is that the election will be fought on the economy if there’s one left, jobs if they haven’t become redundant, immigration provided the new legislation in Arizona hasn’t turned them all off coming and making Wall St one way.

Republicans want legal immigrants to carry a visa or alternatively they want illegal immigrants to wear a badge which clearly states ‘illegal immigrant’. This is not considered profiling but a badge of honour which will help improve their profile. Furthermore presentation of the badge to the appropriate authority will immediately qualify the holder for a free trip home.

Democrats believe that illegal immigrants should be a protected species because after all they are future Democrat voters.

Meanwhile the President is still desperate to kick start both the economy and Harry Reid but neither is showing much sign of life.

Experts have been claiming that the world is running out of oil reserves but thanks to the BP initiative just off Louisiana we shall soon all be swimming in it.

The President has delayed any further off-shore oil drilling operations now that this one is coming on-shore.

Countries nearby are urging the President to put a cap on oil exports across the Gulf of Mexico.
