Biden says he won't ask Saudi leaders to increase oil production, blames 'Russia, Russia, Russia' for prices
Biden says he will not ask Saudi Arabia for increased oil production during his trip despite rising prices

He won't ask the Saudis because he already knows they are pumping at capacity.  In fact, the US is about the only major producer that is not doing so and that is because Biden blocked new drilling in offshore wells and in Alaska's huge ANWR field.  He is also threatening to block a significant percentage of Texas's Permian Basin.

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
