4 Reasons to Pass On the New iPad - SmartMoney.com

4 Reasons to Pass On the New iPad - SmartMoney.com

Quentin Fottrell makes some good points on why not to buy the new iPad*. As tech companies such as Apple* continue to push the latest version of their hot tech gadgets to consumers, buyers should take a close look before shelling out another $500. The features on the new iPad* are alluring, but if I already had a good tablet, I don't think I would rush out and buy the new iPad*, just like I probably will not buy a new laptop while my old one is functional.

However, if you do not own a tablet and you want to join the Apple* family, why not get the top of the line new iPad*. If I had the $500 to spare, I probably would go with the new iPad*. But since I don't have $500 to spare, I will have to be content with my iPod Touch* 4G or go with a less expensive tablet.

Senate Blocks Bid To Speed Keystone Approval -- But Obama Loses Dems Despite Lobbying | Fox News

Americans should be outraged at the latest antics of our President. At a time when gas prices are on the rise and many Americans are out of work, blocking an amendment that speed approval of the Keystone Pipeline is in my opinion ludicrous. It is reported that the underlying factor in blocking this amendment is lobbying by none other than, guess who, Barack Obama.

The Keystone Pipeline could lesson America's dependence on foreign oil, which is a big plus for America considering the unrest in the Middle East. Why keep America dependent on oil from nations like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela or other foreign powers? It seem like a no-brainer that America should take advantage of any energy resources available domestically or from Northern neighbor Canada.

In addition to helping wean America off of foreign oil, according to analysts the Keystone Pipeline could provide much needed jobs for US workers. With many Americans struggling to find employment, the estimated 20,000 jobs from the Keystone Pipeline could provide some relief.

Elvis Costello asks the question in one of his songs, "Whats so funny about peace, love and understanding?" Well, Mr. Obama, whats so wrong with our own oil, lower gas prices and job creation.
