I watched a Hillary Clinton interview on CNN

It was a very interesting one. Clinton discussed the faults of energy traders. She remarked that during the Enron scandal, people in California had to pay higher energy prices. Thus, prices were manipulated exactly for the faults of the traders.

A bit insufficient or not, Clinton seems to have proposed a "gas tax free weekend" meaning u dont have to pay the gas tax for some time.

Mr Reich, the former Clinton advisor, called these remarks (this idea) stupid and dumm. Now this is a clear exaggeration. I think Clinton clearly put it in connection with the malfeasance done by energy traders and Clinton wants to give some "fun" back. OK, this isnt very ideological, but the Obama camp isnt serving Marx or whomsoever lately also.

IRAN: Clinton was asked over and over again whether shed nuke Iran. She left it at strong retaliation, whatever this means. The Obama camp put it lately this far that shed use some preemptive strike. I think that isnt the point. Its just the question what happens if Israel is attacked.

Being asked for Al-Sadr and iranian Shia support, CLinton made it clear that certain measures have to be picked to stop Iran from this way of support (meaning arms).
