Obama: "It is time to get this done."

Transcript:

OBAMA: The same thing is true when it comes to energy. No area will need innovation more than in the development of new ways to produce and use and save energy. And you understand that here at Hudson Valley.

I firmly believe that the nation that leads the clean-energy economy will be the nation that leads the global economy. And that's why...

(APPLAUSE)

That's why we're doubling our capacity to generate renewable energy, building a stronger and smarter electric grid. And I was meeting some young people who are being trained right here so that they're going to be working on creating this smart grid.

We're investing in technologies to power a new generation of clean-energy vehicles. We've helped reach an agreement to raise fuel economy standards.

And for the first time in history, we've passed a bill to create a system of clean-energy incentives which will help make renewable energy the profitable kind of energy in America, while helping to end our dependence on oil and protect our planet for future generations.

This bill has passed the House; we're now working to pass legislation through the Senate. It is time to get this done. We have to lead on energy. We can't be lagging behind.

(APPLAUSE)

So that's an overview of our strategy. All these pieces fit together. It's a strategy that's essential for our recovery today, but more importantly, for our prosperity tomorrow. It's a strategy rooted in a deep and abiding faith in the ability of this country to rise to any challenge, because that's our history.

We're a people with a seemingly limitless supply of ingenuity and daring and talent. And at its best, our government has harnessed those qualities without getting in the way.

From a random foreign stranger point of view (that's me), he may be right about the energy, but the healthcare plan (which I know less about since I'm not American) still.. (replaced word) seems to be wrong.

Thanks, niggers. Enjoy the revolt.

MAN FUCK OBAMA

[dougmanjones]

You have to spend in order to build things that work. For instance, if your house has an incredibly inefficient dryer that's costing you lots of $ in electric bills, you spend money (horrors!) to get a new dryer, which lowers your electric bill, and saves money over time. Simple.

Good job, Obama! Keep it up, brotha!

I think what he means to say is we have a seemingly limitless supply of money that the government is creating out of thin air instead of stopping this monstrosity from happening....

He is spending America into oblivion..we cannot afford it as a country..but I guess we don't need to when we can print our own money..

I don't need to pay more then 13,000 a year in taxes! I think that is plenty!

Stop the spending bills please!
