Barack Obama Gas Tax Hypocrisy and Flip-Flops

[onstageagain]

Politicians are the craftiest & most cunning of all con artists & salesmen. They can manipulate even the most cherished beliefs & intellectual arguments to convince U to give them immense coercive power over other people & eventually, even over U . They're so good @ it that they can even convince many to become fanatic supporters, & themselves to believe their own bullshit. This guy makes G. Bush look like a ice cream salesman. Turning to politicians is the worst way to solve a problem.

Oh he is in touch, only thing is his masters have an agenda. Obama is just one of many puppets the Elite are using to drive our economy down while stripping us of all our capital and driving down the dollars worth all in one harmonious execution. Of course they make mistakes as any human might and that is where we see their lies, but wait, that could just be their way of boasting that they are in charge, LIKE IN YOUR FACE like.

That must explain why the Illinois Senator and Presidential candidate owns a HEMI-powered V8 Chrysler 300C.

Democrats love to make Americans suffer...their only energy policy is to indoctrinate school kids to see their parents as "oil Addicts"...like good little Nazi youth of globalwarming causes

[SelfImmolator]

Doesn't Obama want to provide an energy rebate of $1k? Isn't that a similar idea to the GT holiday?

Yes it's important to wean ourselves off oil but do remember that poorer people are really suffering because of the prices... As are businesses that would be employing people. Maybe he was in a better position to see that when he voted for a gas tax break earlier in his career?

obama's a hypocrite, but i agree it is a bad idea. We need to switch energy sources and fast. The more we try to push this problem of to the near future with things like gas tax relief, the longer its going to take us to switch to alternative energy

[tillerylakelady]

Obama opposes off shore drilling,He criticizes Mccains plans to bring down gas prices.he claimes McCaine is for the Big oil co.When in fact in 2005 on the BUSH,CHENY ENERGY BILL,OBAMA VOTED YES McCain voted against it.The Bill was to give hand outs to the oil co.Guess Obama believes his votes have no consequences.

[tedfreeway]

Windfall profits tax is a "gimmick that's been tried before" too but Obama seems fine with that.

[sziklas]

Oblahblahblahma. This guy is so in over his abilities that i feel sorry for him. He is a product of what America does really well-we HYPE everything.

[mortum000]

yes icswoosh, that shows he doesen't know what the hell he's doing and is just whoring himself out to what people want.

[lcswoosh]

that's not hypocrisy. he voted for it in IL but it did nothing to help the people there, so it was obvious later on he would oppose it. And economists - you know, people who actually know what they're talking about, unlike McCain, unanimously oppose this stupid idea.

[LuckbasedDPS]

were fucked either way, the worlds going to hell in a hand basket, all we can do is sit back and watch, its in motion, cant stop it.

[rushfloydzeppelin]

True dude, who ever is elected will do a horrible job and so will the person after him. If anyone wants to know what is going to happen soon, read the bible, it will tell you.

People forget that although Obama does not take money from lobbist he does take money directly from oil company executives. He wants to keep the oil prices high. He is also against us using our own natural resources. By taking this stance he forces the oil companies to continue buying oil from our enemies and lowering the value of the US dollar. He and his fellow Marxist Democrats are trying to destroy the our economy. Is this the change you want?

Thanks.

Popular Hypocrisy...this ad is bullshit. You are bullshit.

[PopularHypocrisy]

Thank you for the kind words. Sure, the ad may be a bit strong (most ads are), but like it or not Obama has flip-flopped on the gas tax issue.

[silus2000]

Well of course, that is his nature as a Democrat...trying to find the compromise in everything.

I'm just tired of this cheerleader mentality. Where i'm no longer allowed to stand for principle anymore, where everything I do has to be perceived as being motivated by support of one party or another. I am an individual god dammit, and my freedom, my ability to see right and wrong, will not be suppressed by bullshit politics!

[silus2000]

bIRAQ Obama....hahahaha

Do you think I"M STUPID?!? Do you think i'm going to fall for your mind control BULLSHIT. I dont even like Obama and the dems, but faggot ass Republicans make me sick! Trying to manipulate the people with a change in pronounciation... This is why I hate all of you.
