China is certainly becoming problematic on the world oil reserves scene, they are very aggessive at locking up contracts and supplies all over the world. There hasn't been much talk about this subject, but it's been bothering me for some time. I see it as a potential security issue if China is allowed to continue unchecked. Perhaps this is the very reason we ARE getting involved? I wouldn't know, I missed this mornings National Security Briefing...

If Soros has violated any SEC laws there should be an investigtion. At this point it doesn't appear that he did anything illegal and there is no investigation being launched. Perhaps that will change with time, until then, "rumor has it" is about all you got.

The Export-Import bank receives no appropriations from Congress and does not rely on tax payer dollars. Some agencies actually pull their own weight, what a concept!

I am afraid you are wasting your time Ex...these people get up every morning of every day and shovel dirt on Obama hoping to bury him and the truth is irrelevant to them. And their default defense is always " Well the libs did it to Bush......"
