...however, are the original gas hogs. The U.S. uses more oil per day than any other country--4.5% of the world's population guzzling 25% of the planet's petroleum output. But voters viscerally blame their petrodependency on the man and the party in charge. In a recent CNN/ Gallup poll, 75% of those surveyed said a President could control oil prices; 71% said this President wasn't doing enough to bring them down...

...that by running, by hiding, by pushing...I wasn’t going to be a leader,” she said. “It’s all about acceptance, being authentic, having a vision, and going for it.” Robert Manchin, CEO of the Gallup Organization, where Stone worked, praised Stone for the groundbreaking technological innovations that made him a well-known pioneer in the field. Manchin said that Stone’s work was very much driven by his love of people. “Phil was focused on real people, real problems, real...
