They have eyes but they can't see, ears but they cant hear, heart but they can't understand. Just like a cattle.
Two questions: 1) Why are you quoting the bible? Much better that you quote the Qur'an in my opinion. 2) Why do you think that cattle cannot see or hear?
I am quoting a verse which is in the Quran although not the exact translation. A herd of cattle is controlled by a dog.
Can you provide the verse? It sounds like you are quoting the bible, and more specifically, the Jewish portion of the bible. Is the dog deaf and blind as well? It sounds like the preamble to a joke. Something like, "So an Arab and a Paki walk into a bar with a dog and a cow...." @Earlpearl: On topic, 227k new jobs is an improvement, but its a bit like pissing on a forest fire. I'd provide you a link to Bernanke telling us as much, but I thought this video was more informative.

Ya know O_Nation that is another Right Wing political piece. Only took in about 1 min When the good gov decided to reference that his state is doing so well b/c of tight fiscal responsibility and not b/c the shale oil business is booming booming booming there he lost me. C'mon gov speak honestly. Hey...but I'm all for fiscal responsibility and not running up big debts. To bad the Bush administration and its Congressional cronies in the early part of the 2000's totally ignored that. Here is a quote from an economic commentator Good 3 months. Long way to go. Also, as Bernanke is aware recovery is delicate and subject to many changing circumstances, many of them from overseas. Europe is in the doldrums and the huge European market is immense in its entirety. That puts an enormous hurt on the world economy. Our own housing and construction market remain weak. Past experience dictates it takes time to work through how devastating that problem is. We do have large debt problems. It would be nice to tackle them. In the long extended congressional debates at one point Obama and the Dems offered the GOP hard liners an offer with $10 of cost cuts for every $1 of tax increases. The extremists on the Right Wing turned it down. The most experienced and sober economists suggest about $3 of cost cuts for every $1 of tax increases. That would make the political extremists on the Right Wing Puke .....they wouldn't accept 10 to 1. That is why we are having issues on debt. The extremists are EXTREME. Get some adults in there with common sense.
The dog on the right is made up to look like bin laden. Guess he was herding unthinking cattle. Nice analogy.
You must have shut it off at 1 min. North Dakota's energy policy is part of the Governor's point. If that oil was sitting on Federal land, and required Federal permits to drill, there would be no economic boom in North Dakota. Unable to block the oil development, Obama's blockage of the Keystone XL pipeline is preventing N. Dakota's oil from being safely brought to the national market. For the same reason, Utah is now sueing the Obama admin for access to federal land within Utah's borders, per the terms of the agreement that annexed Utah into the Union. Hey, I get it man. Without 5$ a gallon gas, those $45k Chevy Volts are never going to sell, even with the $10,000 taxpayer subsidy Obama wants to offer every person who buy's one (average income of a person buying a Chevy volt is 170k/year). I guess the job loss and transportation cost based inflation are just the price we, as a nation, need to pay to stop man made global warming. Its a sacrifice, sure, but Obama made the call on our behalf. Good for him.
O_Nation: I did stop watching early. The GOP political voice of a governor opened by referencing budgets not the extraordinary boom in oil exploration.....he went political not realistic. Meanwhile, I'm all for the Keystone Pipeline. Many in the middle are. Just do one critical and vital thing for National Security and Safety. Move the thing. Take it away from the Aquafier. That is probably the lamest dumbest thing being promoted by Oil barons and Right Wing Extremists. Its brutally dangerous to a large part of the entire Western part of the United States and additionally an easy target for sabotage...again endangering much of the Western part of the US. How could extremists and oil money financiers of the Right Wing be so stubborn and so willing to endanger much of the US? We already have oil being transported to the US from that part of Canada. The existing pipelines don't run over ground that could endanger a large part of the population. Meanwhile TransCanada is building a part of the Pipeline where its safe. Obama doesn't have issues with that. Bring in the oil. Do it responsibly.
Glad to see you have it together a bit more than Obama. If the aquifer were the issue, it could be resolved outside of the permit authorization process. If it were an issue of gasoline exports to the Caribbean, they could slap a gas export tax onto the permit. We shouldn't be gas exporters until the country is near oil import neutral. These would all be easy things to do. Hell, Obama got approval for Solyndra in no time at all, in spite of popular outcry and the council of his advisors. The obvious explanation are the words of his Secretary of Energy, Stephen Chu. “Somehow,†Chu said, “we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe. Obama tempered the words of his Energy Secretary a bit, not for their goal, but for the pace of change. "I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment" Like Rahm Emanual says, let no good crisis go to waste. Oil spill in the gulf? Put a drilling moratorium in place for all rigs. Don't issue any new permits. Mark my words. Obama's energy policies will haunt him this election cycle, and rightly so. The Governor of N. Dakota has it spot on.
[Aa`raf 7:179] And indeed We have created many jinns and mankind for hell; they have hearts in which there is no understanding; and the eyes they do not see with; and the ears they do not hear with; they are like cattle - in fact more astray; it is they who are the neglectful.
And now for a healthy dose of realism : http://money.cnn.com/2012/03/09/news/economy/unemployment-election/index.htm?iid=GM .
Subscribed for future lulz. I do not believe that there will be sustained growth or a real recovery. Mirage in the desert when your eyes can't change focus IMO...
