advertise a question by a possible president runner with a politically charged question that seems (to me) nationalistic and xenophobic in a hope to gain support.
I’m all for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and using less oil, but why phase it as “USE LESS FOREIGN OIL”.
If this is the thinking of a would be president, to single out that foreign oil suppliers for the USA are bad when many counties depend on oil exports to the USA, then my question is "why would other world leaders or citizens of other worlds be interested in buying goods from America."
Further note will we see any other questions from possible president runners.

Sorry changed the question at the last moment
"why would other world leaders or citizens of other worlds be interested in buying goods from America then other counties can produce the same much cheaper and as good as."

Good Point. Does Hilary really care about using less foreign oil or is she just trying to win over some more votes?
Is she looking for a cheap way to advertise?
Does America really need the Clintons right now?

But it is precisely the problem of all the overseas entanglements and compromises to American security and autonomy that come with American dependence on foreign oil that make this a serious thing to consider. The world is still run by individual nation states who each have to look after the welfare of their individual citizens.
There isn't going to be any shortage of buyers for the dwindling oil supplies that other countries sell to the US. In fact, competition between growing world powers like China, India, Russia, and the U.S. for what fossil fuels still remain is going to intensify in the coming decades. This is exactly why the U.S. needs to focus on alternative energy sources, because otherwise we're all screwed.
There would be no need to invade foreign lands to seize their oil if we didn't need it. If we don't start switching over to alternatives, there's going to be a lot more U.S. invasions. Without fuel, a modern, industrialized nation grinds to a halt.

1) Because It is meant to appease the right wing of this country. The USA gets 70% of its gasoline from Canada, Mexico and other non OPEC countries.
You are not supposed to know this. OPEC barrels at 69 or 70 dollars should make no difference in the price at the pump.
You are being misled by everyone on this issue. Wake up- Read - Do research- Think for yourself!
2) Why buy?---That does not matter to those in power, they could care less who other countries buy from as long as American consumers continue to buy into the lies.

President Bush has said the U.S. needs to use less oil from the Middle East.
Canada is our hope for solving the U.S.'s oil problems. It is now known that Canada has more oil than Saudi Arabia.
Canada is now the U.S.'s number one foreign supplier.

Anyone ever thought, it's probably not the real Hilary, just someone pretending to be her to wind up the gullible.
