I grew up just outside Detroit and lived there most of my life. My father worked for Ford Motor Company for 30 years and I have many friends and family still employed there. I have since moved out of state for work but my heart is still in MI. It is very sad to see what is going on there. People loved to buy F150s and gas-guzzling SUVs. That is where the money was made at the dealerships and what they pushed for so long. I really hope that the short-term drop in oil won't let us all forget the $4+ gas prices this past summer. I think we all need to change our way of life for the better of our country. Thanks! I appreciate your perspective a lot. I grew up just outside Detroit and lived there most of my life.

I've also never understood why US politicians couldn't make energy security more of an issue weaved in with reducing gas-guzzling. I think Obama gets this.
