Let's look at a few facts here: Nov 06 Dems win control of House and Senate, Pelosi states, "We will bring change and an energy policy that makes sense": Since then, Gas and oil prices have nearly doubled! Obama's plan, Let's inflate our tires more and conserve.....Ummmm we're already doing that....Oh yeah, he wants to tax the oil companies more....last time I checked, taxing a business more leads to them increasing prices: result: higher prices at the pump....Hmmmmmm...Sounds like a winner 2 me
high-income entrepreneur would see his or her federal marginal tax rate rise to 53 percent from 37.7 percent," Lindsey wrote in a June 20 Wall Street Journal op-ed column.
The marginal tax rate is what a person pays on each additional dollar earned. Lindsey wrote that Obama's plans would provide a powerful incentive for the highest-earning Americans to work less, invest less and contribute less to the economy.
Oh the good 'ole days of March '08. Wish we were not close to $5.00 per gallon now but according to Gramm crackers and Old Man McBush, Its all in my Head ...
This great man is acting like He is the President. From his posture, his speeches, his ideas and dreams for America and the World, down to the way He conducts himself, like a great leader should be!! Go Pres. Obama
why is it that the world is so much rooting for this great man, but yet the americans are so blind to see.???
Vote for Obama. The fact that he's actually going to get this settled with, alternative sources and whatnot, says he's awesome. Don't believe me? WHY DIDN'T YOU WATCH THE VIDEO?
Windfall profits taxes were a stupid policy idea in the 1980's and they're stupid today. All they do is reduce investment, not prices -- and it's the very industry we need investment from now. They raise no money either.
The only way to bring prices down over the long term is to get more entrepreneurs chase the huge profits. Eliminating those profits through the political process will eliminate that incentive.
Obama has some good ideas but this isn't one of them.
I support Ron Paul because he is altogether a better candidate with so many more solid Constitutional views but I agree with this message. We need to lead the world in technology again and start pioneering technology. Barack I hope you're not lying...
What is Obama's position on switching to fuel cell technology? I believe this is the single most important issue facing our country and our world.
If we are committed and switch over before the end of the next President's term is finished, we will not only see such prosperity as we have never seen before, and we will also be free from the Fossile Fuel countries in a way that Bush's Blunders have not made us.
Ill believe it when I see it, but I pray Obama holds to this. You may be surprised at what alternative energy/fuel has been surpressed in the name of profit for oil companies and government taxes.
Jimmy Carter tried to change. He put solar panels on the White House. Reagan came in and took them all down. Get us back on the right track. Please, Barack make a statement choose Nader as your runnnig mate. That way we are sure "Change" is on its way, also Dennis and Gore would be a good choice. Please don't be just another politician, thats way I'm not going with the Clintons again.
It's so interesting to see a candidate speak for himself. Instead of having "Mr. Anouncer Voice" going on and on with "He is a man who...blah blah blah" like the McCain ad does, cherry picking soundbites from McCain's speeches that don't sound senile, Barack Obama addresses himself to the American people in his own voice.
Great ad, good message. I'm sick of corporations making insane amounts of money then using it to lobby their agendas while cutting pensions and healthcare plans.
When Barack gets to be elected, we need to stay togther and organized and make sure we are behind him in his crusade to change America and we need to be seeing who is standing in the way of the people and decampaign them!
Great guy even if you loss this nomination contest I will forever respect you for not being Bill and Hillary Clinton that lies through the eye of a needle.
Yes We Can! Way to go, Barack, I am all for this! Now let's give a federal tax break for everyone who wants to put a solar panel on a roof or for everyone who wants to invest in alternative energy!
Not mentioning Clinton is a wise choice. Focus on the big picture, and don't attack- people can find out for themselves that Clinton does indeed accept money from lobbyists, after Obama informs them that he does not.
The TRUTH! Go Obama Go!!! Can't believe this guy's running for president! It almost seems like a dream. But then again someone had a dream not so long ago. So glad it's coming true.
Hows that doing?
