Huge tax breaks? Those same huge tax breaks are the reason gas is at about $4/gal and not $5 or $6/gal. Sure Exxon made $11 billion in profit. They also paid the American government $32 billion in taxes.

Maybe Obama should be taking the windfall profits from our Democratic Congress. They can't seem to balance a budget or accomplish anything of note for that matter. Pelosi and co. are on vacation when they should be in Washington fixing this problem.

As gas prices rise so do the profit margins for Big Oil. It's simple economics.

I like the fact that Obama sees this and is willing to stand up to these guys and put some of that money back in the pockets of consumers and the economy and not in the deep pockets of Big Oil.

For example: ExxonMobil announced the other day that it earned $11.7 billion in the past three months, the most profitable quarter ever for an American company.

Think about that!

Democrats are responsible for Financial Crisis. Barack Obama will be a continuation of Bill Clintons polices. Bill Clinton & his affordable housing program drove this country to a financial crisis. In 1994 Clinton directed HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros to come up with a plan. Its clear now that the erosion of lending standards pushed prices up by increasing demand, and later led to waves of defaults (foreclosures) by people who never should have bought a home in the first place.

FOX NEWS = GOP Propaganda Machine

[homeschoolmarm]

Don't you know that many of the videos on youtube are FICTION (that means made-up). Did you see the one about Obama's love child, or the one showing him cussing out the hecklers in the crowd? Did you also know that you start each sentence with a capital letter, all names are capitalized, and all sentences end in punctuation? What are they teaching in public school, not grammar heh? McCain 2008 (Note the proper spelling)

That's a lie, and I DO keep up with the issues. In MANY primary campaign appearances, Obama used the words "immediate and unconditional withdrawal of troops from Iraq." Many of his followers were upset when he caved on this issue. Fox news is the #1--most watched and respected news organization on the air--bar none. I want our troops to leave ASAP. My husband was there for over a year, and we lost personal friends. But we need to finish what we started--we will lose all credibility if not.

Only those who rely on Fox News for their distillation of the candidate's messages are confused. Obama has always favored a phased withdrawal plan (reference his War De-escalation act of 2007).  The point is to get the Iraqi government to step up sooner rather than later. NOTHING CAN EVER CHANGE unless they assume responsibility - no matter how big a surge we put in place or how long we stay. We should never have been there in the first place, and now we need a plan to get out.

[homeschoolmarm]

I guess you haven't been keeping up on Obama's issue positions. Who could, they change with the political winds! Now, Obama now favors a 16 month "timetable", regardless of the conditions on the ground. McCain favors a withdrawal, but only after we stabilize Iraq. Obama's original position of immediate "cut and run" was stupid, and therefore, he changed. If you think oil prices are high now, lets leave Iraq today and destabilize the entire region. You don't understand what you are saying.

Here's a way to save $10 billion per month: get out of Iraq. I think one of the candidates is proposing this...

[homeschoolmarm]

And what has Obama offered us but a tire gauge? Liberal Democrats want energy to be high, so we can "save the planet." And here you harp on our debts. Which is the party offering increases in social programs, i.e. socialized health care, MORE spending for education, etc... Your so quick to blame Bush, but offer nothing to CUT SPENDING! Who didn't want to fix Social Security? THE DEMOCRATS! The New York Times is NOT a trusted, reliable source, that' a proven fact.

2,--> into Social Security than the system would pay out in benefits. The explicit promise, says Johnston, was that the funds would be used to pay off the federal debt so that the government would have the borrowing capacity to pay Social Security benefits to the Baby Boomers when they began retiring. Instead, Johnston says, the surplus money has been spent on tax cuts mainly benefiting the richest one percent of the population.
