Obama & Clinton 'Debate' Gas Tax Holiday - A Compliation

[Electricbassguy]

Clinton is a nazi.

[beteck123]

She is most comfortable when she is lieing.

Honesty to her is like a kryptonite to a devil.

[mike50333]

You mean Kryptonite to Superman? You're thinking the word Jesus to a devil. lol

[axman61]

So, Hillary is pandering?!?! I couldn't agree more! How despicable! Thank God that Obama is above such things! Raising the capital gains tax in the persuit of 'fairness' isn't pandering. It's 'change' we can belive in!!!

[JerezJulio]

Debate about he issues is not Hillary forte.

She is far better when she is doing the low blow negative attacks.

Since debating the issues affecting America did not worked, I expect the Clinton's start looking for a new Obama skeleton from his past so that they can continue the scare tactics the are so good at.

So far they had Obama as, Black man, Muslim, Cristian, Catholic, Elite, Socialist, Communist, having a bad middle name, and goes on and on.

I wonder what they will accuse him of

[JerezJulio]

So Hillary is not going to listen to the economist?

Who is she going to listen then, Sorcerers?

So 18. cents out of a $4.25 a gallon of gas, what a moronic idea

what are we suppose to buy with 18 cents, a pepper mint?

[osvaldojapan]

Hillary is always copying Obama's words!

Her campaign is clearly running out of money and she's not winning! If cant figure out, its time to QUIT, then she is a BAD politician! She is not worried with you! Its ALL about BUSINESS to her! She needs to pay back the lobbists.......thats clear! And if u elect her, then America is the DUMBEST nation in the world and u deserve all u get!

[MotownMoleman]

Top 10 Reasons Hillary hasn't quit: 10.wants to try coffee machines in remaining primary states 9. yearns for another Obama-girl video 8. can't shake desire to invade Iran 7. doesn't want Chelsea to get a real job 6. wants to see if prolonged campaigning is more torturous than waterboarding 5. learned to count votes via "no child left behind" 4. wants to repay Rev. Wright: inaugural preacher 3. can't say "concessionary" 2. she nearly cried once; didn't like it 1. she inhaled what Bill smoked

[jasimotx]

If you listen to the video, he candidly admits that those votes were mistakes and the policy didn't work. That's one of the reasons he's against it now.

[jasimotx]

If you watch the video, he candidly admits that he made a mistake with those votes and that he learned from the experience. That's actually one of the reason he's against it now.

[19bear87]

Elitist= Hillary who doesn't know how to pump her own gas and has made over 100 million since 2000.

Seeing her on tv makes me laugh because she is so phony, pretending to know what we are going through with gas prices, health care, and keeping jobs.Only yesterday these where Obama's problems. When where they her problems? Yet she tries to paint Obama as an elitist.Come on People!Hillary you are not one of us so stop mocking our intelligence with your pandering and your working class act!!!

[espguitarist]

I agree

[DannyKiddLeesvileLa]

Are you aware of msnbc video. One hundred economist do not agree with Hillary Clinton gas tax rpoposal. How much of Clinton comapain has been about the gas tax proposal. Send some feedbank and let them knwo what you think about it...

Danny Kidd

Leesville la

[mrfranchize02]

I can't believe there are people still believing in this scam after experts said it could possible reverse and jack prices up. She'll definitely win Indiana because her supporters are too gulible. Wake up people, she is not your precious Bill!!!

[kiwiflesh]

Its okay to not let "experts" live your life and make your choices, its a good idea to veer away from main stream bs topics. This is a b.s issue, Obama makin a big deal of it is just pandering for votes as well. OVER ALL package, its Hillary Clinton, she's lookin short, mid and long term. Her heart is in the right place, so is her effectiveness as a leader.  Bills an asset. Hillary 08 is the right way to go.

[mike50333]

George Bush didn't let the "experts" run his life throughout his entire presidential administration. Does that mean that his heart is in the right place?

Obama is looking out for the economy just as fiercely as Hilary is. He however is trying to avert a tax that'll kill off over 300,000 Highway Construction jobs, save a vast number of factory jobs that are dependent on highway construction, and keep $12,000,000,000 in the Highway Construction fund. Still think her heart is in the right place?

[kiwiflesh]

Yea, I saw the interview when Obama was spoon feeding his fans these statistics, you chose to ignore to here the world "possibly" before allthat. He sneaks alot of similar "what if's" into his conversation, he is silver tongued. That is not Hillarys gas plan. The media loved bush, remember that, the love Obama even more, I wonder why. Dig deeper. You don't know a thing about Hillary's heart. Don't try to defend your candidate with media propaganda. Its really sickening.

[mike50333]

I don't use propaganda, I use facts. Just because the media doesn't agree with every tiny detail of Hilary's Gas Tax, doesn't mean that the media and the economists are spreading "Propaganda".

It's been stated and proven through a little something called trial and error. Senator Obama, and other senators through several other states have tried this. The result: higher gas prices, less funds for highway construction, fewer highway construction workers, and fewer blue collar factory workers.

[mike50333]

And if explaining the facts and technicalities of something is the definition of "spoon feeding", then I wish everyone were spoon fed.

If people understood that everything that sounds nice and pretty isn't always so, that you you have to look deeper under the surface before going with something, then America would be MUCH better off right now.

[Msbea345]

Makes me realize how ignorant some Americans can be. You really think a gas tax holiday will pass in congress...really? After the Indiana and NC vote and dust settles, the media will report that the gas tax holiday did not pass....You are very ignorant..so sad. I blame the American public school system.

[kiwiflesh]

Its just as sad as 45% black voter voting for Obama "just because he's black". Yea we have to look at total packages. Its Hillary, I absolutly promis, just shovel away bull shi+ like this.

[mike50333]

Next thing you know, you'll be saying that Blacks have always supported him.

[kiwiflesh]

next thing you know you'll be making rediculous assumtions without knowing a thing about where i'm coming from, (thats ignorant) you wanna discuss this? i am critizising one issue voters. its sick, i dont care what the issue it is. %45 "only cause hes black" are exit polls on cnn. remember bush and the evangelical vote? its the same principle. all i ask is for people not to make rapid assumtions, like you implying whatever you implied with your repsonse. BIG PICTURE.

[Msbea345]

Makes me realize how ignorant some Americans can be. You really think a gas tax holiday will pass in congress...really? After the Indiana and NC vote, the media will report that the gas tax holiday did not pass....You are very ignorant..so sad. I blame the American public school system,

[dedeals1305]

You will sell out for 3 months?30 dollars ant (/@%\).What about the rest of the year?Shell game.

[CoffeePleaseNow]

It is not much to the average driver, but could really help truckers and people who drive alot, as well as fleet drivers. It is a start, and is better than nothing. Clinton has long term plans as well.

[julesmck]

Hillary thinks that if she's right, then the whole world is wrong. What is that called? Delusional. If she thinks that driving up the demand of gas will lower prices, she can't even make simple mental calculations. Sad.

[msjoje]

julesmck: Sen Clinton is solving the need of those hardworking Americans who could use $30 in their pockets when they drive to their summer vacation spots. The demand is already there and it is real. She is not knuckling under to the oil companies like Obama, nor forgetting the little people as Obama and his fellow elitist jet to their vacation spots.

[Truthier101]

Desperate pandering. She will say and do anything to get elected. Nothing else, not even the well being of the country, matters.

[ILUVFUNKEYS345]

The Gas Tax did not work in Illinois?

That crazy Hillary is lying to us. She has to go liar

[stevecitano]

Big tough Hillary, throwin' her big ass around like she knows what she's talking about. Nothing but pandering going on here folks!

[StraightShooter01]

As if you can get Congress to all of a sudden draw consensus, oil companies wont raise prices to compensate. She cant even name ONE expert to support her - but she didnt forget to plug her "elite" buzzword. She cant run her own campaign, she isnt getting my vote to run our entire economy. BTW Hillary, the lawsuits are piling up - PAY YOUR VENDORS - your 10mill barely covers Mark Penns salary - better get more donations coming in to pay YOUR mismanaged bills.

Enough

Obama 08

[Primelion]

Well said straightshooter.

[FoxNewsMustDie]

McCain appeared with both Rod Parsley and John Hagee within the last year, warmly accepting their endorsements and saying nothing about their widely publicized racist, homophobic, anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic remarks until forced to by repeated media badgering. Moreover, he has given up every stand he has taken against Bush, from tax cuts to the treatment of detainees, and his critique of right-wing preachers as agents of intolerance.

The GOP knows it best: McCain believes only in McCain.

[FoxNewsMustDie]

True relief will come from tax cuts for working people, increasing unemployment insurance and the minimum wage, and offering incentives to the development of alternative fuel vehicles.

Watching Hillary on her faux commute in a phalanx of ten gas-guzzling SUVs pretty much sums it up for me.

What a circus!

[msjoje]

FoxNews: Sen Clinton's plan is not about long term solutions. It is about relief NOW, for those millions of hardworking Americans who are pinching pennies.

Only elitists can sit there on their asses and smugly point out that the $30 dollar savings is a drop in the bucket and dismiss it as pandering. Yet, how many of those elitists are jetting to summer vacation spots, using thousands of gallons of gasoline?

Ya, I thought so.

[ablueview]

The oil companies will raise their prices (law of supply & demand) so THEY will get the $30 not you.

PLEASE think about it!

[tommasfoolery]

Do you honestly believe that?

Are you really that uneducated? Jets don't run on gasoline; they run on jet fuel.

Gasoline or petrol is a petroleum-derived liquid mixture consisting mostly of aliphatic hydrocarbons, enhanced with iso-octane or the aromatic hydrocarbons toluene and benzene to increase its octane rating, and is primarily used as fuel in internal combustion engines.

[jed989]

hillary clinton is the definition of elite rich liar

[sciphile]

Ooooooh! Those big bad elite people!! They're not like us!  Let's go after 'em with torches and pitchforks!!

[zbjordan23]

lol...economists who disagree with her are now giving "elite" opinion..lol...what bullcrap

[msjoje]

zbjordan23: Sen Clinton is speaking truth to power while Obama is pandering to the oil companies.

This precisely why he doesn't get the hardworking American vote. He denies them some extra dollars in their pockets for summer vacations, while jetting off to his summer vacation spot.

It's not about longterm solutions, it's about some sort term relief as gas prices jump higher every 3 days.

[msjoje]

ablueview: Summer demand will be there anyway. Squelching demand for the little people,while not squelching demand for the elitist, who can easily afford higher gas prices or jet fare, is not equitable.

[19bear87]

Elite= Hillary who doesn't know how to pump her own gas.Not to mention she has made well over 100 million since 2000. Obama has just finished paying student loans.worked with laborers and grew up in a single parent household and has made 3 million since 2000(new book played a huge factor).If u believe for one second that hil Knows what it is like for the working class then you need to be committed to a facility for the ignorant.Hillary u are not one of us so stop insulting our intelligence

[msjoje]

19bear87: Not much intelligence to insult.

The ability to be empathetic to the needs of others is not defined by wealth or class. People wealthier than Sen Clinton have been helping those in need the world over. Sen Clinton's motto seems to be, "to whom much is given, much is expected". She proposed taxing the wealthy .

Obama sure knows how to take money from slumlord Rezko,so that he could buy his house.

At least the Clintons made theirs through speeches and 2 bestseller books.

[wtfoof]

And took campaign money from Chinese Business men, people using chinese slave labor

[msjoje]

wtfoof: And Obama took money from Rezko, the slumlord, who laundered money for the Muslim arms dealer Ahubida, or something like that since this guy uses many aliases, after he sells 50 caliber rifles to the military who slaughter women and children who have only sticks to defend themselves.

So, ya let's play 6 degrees of separation.

[wtfoof]

Show me documentation of these claims. Oh, Fox News

[wtfoof]

He didn't vote for national gas tax because it has never it happened!!! If you are referring to voting for repeal the Illinois State gas tax, yes he did and he an the other members of' Illinois Congress it didn't work. Here is someone who can learn from their mistakes and is not afraid to admit that they made a mistake!! He has never MISS REMEMBERED an event.

[msjoje]

wtfoof: Show me documentation of these claims, MSNBC.

[mike50333]

Wow. You're actually debating on a LEGITIMATE issue. Good job. Now for the rebuttal.

What you ignore is the fact that this Gas Tax will simply allow the Gas Companies to raise their gas prices so that they more than compensate for the cost of the tax. This doesn't even include the natural rise in prices during the summer months. This nullifies the point of the tax.

[mike50333]

Also, the tax will likely sap America of over 300,000 Highway Construction Jobs. Also, $12 Billion bucks will be taken from the Highway Construction fund. In essence this also helps to contradict with the message that Clinton has made with Blue Collar Voters that she's for them.

[mike50333]

Now guess who works with highway construction and repair? Blue Collar voters. Guess who supplies the materials for highway construction? Blue Collar voters.

Now if the Gas Tax lays off over 300,000 highway construction/repair workers, then the factory workers who are over production the materials used to construct highways and highway construction tools will also be laid off. So, guess who ultimately feels the sting of the gas tax that was supposed to help Americans? Blue collar voters.

[FoxNewsMustDie]

You got it right, Mike. May I add, that it means borrowing money from the Chinese against the national treasury to subsidize Saudi Arabia? Read Thomas Friedman's piece on it in the NYT.

Dumb idea from McCain, given a fresh coat of gloss by Hillary.

They had one in Onandaga county (upstate NY) until recently, and it made no difference. When it came to an end, there was no support for extending it. It just doesn't work.
