it's easy for obama to say we stand against qadhafi.ard one is where the united states has serious national security interests, but these democratic issues have arisen. bahrain is a great example of that. we have the fifth fleet there. we have a compliant leader. for the first time, at least that i'm aware of, he spoke quite bluntly about the failures of the bahraini regime despite the fact that we have these interests. i was pleased to hear that. that was at least something. >> let me push you a little bit. he certainly articulated, and i think i've heard this from the state department before today, we are deeply troubled by the way the government there is repressing the opposition voices, but he didn't say we were going to do anything about it. nor did he even mention saudi arabia in the speech where there is the greatest tension between interests and principles. >> he didn't actually address realities on the ground, in my view, eliot, and one of those realities going back to the center of much of the attention, namely egypt, he talke

we are currently engaged in an operation with our nato allies against qadhafi's regime yet rely on it in part, no matter how small the part, to keep our government operational. this is the problem with our reckless spending. we cannot put ourselves at the mercy of foreign governments. it is irresponsible and dangerous. we must act now to get our spending under control and pay down our debt. mr. president, we cannot run a country on a visa card, nor can we keep kicking the can down the road for future generations to address. our debt is a national security problem and this is one that our brave men and women in uniform cannot save us from. it is up to us to make the tough decisions to get our economic house in order and the time is now to act. mr. president, i suggest the absence of a quorum and yield the floor. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: quorum call: the presiding officer: the senator from michigan. mr. levin: i'd ask that further proceedings under the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. levin: the subsidi

qadhafi's in trouble, we're going to raise prices at the pump by 40 cents, 50 cents or $1. it turns out libya is responsible for about 3% of the world's oil supply. and even if there is an interruption of supply from that place, most of that oil goes to europe. as i said, any excuse will do when it doms raising gasoline -- when it comes to raising gasoline prices. next year we're going to take up a bill i support. have you seen advertising? these oil companies like exxonmobil that made $11 billion in the first three months of the year say if we cut their subsidies, they're going to raise gasoline prices even higher. talk about being at the end of the gun here, your money or your life. they to* close the big -- to close the big oil tax loophole act would end the lease in the gulf of mexico. these companies have been allowed to drill without paying the federal government for the oil they extracted. ending this will generate billions of dollars. we suggest -- i suggest -- let's take the money that's going to these highly profitable, record-breaking profitable oil companies and
