What is President Biden\u2019s excuse? He is running there to beg the Saudi government for oil \u2014 and a lower price on it. Why? Because he is trying to save his hide.<\/p>\n<p>He destroyed our oil industry, which was self-sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>Now he has to go to Saudi Arabia for oil.<\/p>\n<p>How is that \u201cgreen\u201d? Instead of Saudis pumping it and shipping to us, burning fuel in the process, we could be using our own here. Does anyone else see an issue?<\/p>\n<p>Why isn\u2019t everyone on Biden for going to Saudi Arabia? <\/p>\n<p><em>John Natale<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Long Beach<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I had to laugh about Howard Stern calling all golfers who took part in the Saudi tour \u201csellouts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How quickly he forgets what a sellout he is: He used to have former President Donald Trump on his show regularly and kissed up to him about all the woman he would date.

I don\u2019t see articles about those in golf or other sports kissing the backsides of China and the many other countries that have human-rights issues.<\/p>\n<p>Just look at equipment manufacturers and see where they do business.

This no-talent scrub made a living off of degrading women and people with deformities. Just take a look at how he said Saudi people would be talking to sheep or camels if it weren\u2019t for oil.<\/p>\n<p>Who is he to judge anyone\u2019s decisions after the way he exploited people to make his fortune?<\/p>\n<p><em>Joe Micare<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Malta<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Issue: Former NYPD Police Commissioner Ray Kelly\u2019s column on how to slow New York\u2019s crime wave.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The great former NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly is spot on with his three proposals to help reduce crime in the city (\u201cHow To Crush Crime,\u201d PostOpinion, June 16).<\/p>\n<p>However, he fails to mention that those proposals mean nothing under the current bail-reform system.<\/p>\n<p>Criminals know that under the current law, they will be out on the street well before the ink on the arrest reports dries.
