I understand that some people are upset with Barack and that the MSM and the republicans are having a field day with the flip flops. But if you actually sit down and listen to this man relay his idea's, there is no doubt he should be president. Yes he's inexperienced and yes people want a steadying influence in shaky times, but this guy is so far ahead of McCain and any other politician I've heard in years that it would be a disservice to the global community not to elect him. Obama 08

hell yea, i completely agree and we need millions of americans to agree as well. Barack Obama is one of the best presidential candidates we have seen in years. This guy is trying everything he can to change this country and put it back on track. McCain would end up sending America back in time.

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!

clearly you dont understand economics, sure prices will go down with less demand but remember in micro economics that they shift the production down to keep the price up. understanding this is the key, not obama, you'll find yourself fucked later following him.

That's exactly right, less demand = low price. If we keep on burning oil economy will be in un-recognizable shape in 10 years, 30 or 40% has to come from alternative. I was driving 5 days a week to work now I drive 3 days saving 35%, people need to change thier habbit, drive if it is really necessary otherwise just walk or bike or use public transportation. we need curriculum at school on energy to educate people to use energy wisely. It's not a political issue, rather moral issue.

Gas prices have dropped in the past month almost entirely because of a sudden drop in demand, which makes it dead clear that the first way to give the average American relief is to begin a concerted national effort to reduce consumption. The economy is in terrible shape and cannot wait 10 years.

Molloyx, nearly everything out of his mouth is socialist. He wants to tax the rich more and provide everyone with free healthcare and college money... socialism much? Liberals NEARLY took away our guns this year when the Supreme Court voted 5-4 against cities being able to ban guns. All 4 liberals voted for the ban and 5 conservatives voted against.. liberals are trying to strip our freedoms away.Obama cares what the world thinks about us,I say FUCK the world.If they don't like us,cry me a river

[iwatchmassvideo]

Look, we don't necessarily need to switch of oil completely in the next 10 years. This is where Obama is wrong, a complete switch would take... 10.. 20 years. We've found(recently) oil sands in the Rockies and oil in Anwar that in a few years, will have an impact on us. We need nuclear energy for home and business use and more oil efficient means of travel. FACT about this speech, we only get 20% of our oil from the Middle-East.. and the other 80% from Mexico and Canada so... where his facts at?

senator obama voted in favor of the energy policy act of 2005 wish give tax reductions to several energy industries between those $4.3 billion for nuclear power $2.8 billion for fossil fuel production....wait a minute wasnt he against it? isnt that mccain energy plan?...obama = flip flopper.

in other waords MCBUSH MCBUSH MCBUSH MCBUSH MCBUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! ABSO FUCKING LUTLEY

Gas Price: 1. High demand = high gas price 2. Low supply = high gas price 3. High supply = low gas price 4. Less demand = low gas price Obama supports number 4 of the above McCain supports number 3 of the above Problem is:Obama's plan takes 10 years McCains's plan takes 10 years too (drilling) There's no immediate relief unless there's less demand in the world oil market. But Obama's plan sounds better IN THE LONG RUN, green energy, that's the future, less carbon emission.

Every single post you enter begins with 'LIBERLISM IS A DISEASE' and you have the audacity to complain about 'name calling'? Amazing. And the point of the Galbraith quote was.......HIS POINT, which rips the veil away quite nicely.

[LiberalismIsADisease]

NO argument lets resort to name calling!

Is the desire for small government somehow selfish? This is a stretch at best. Since you provide nothing but name calling I don't have much of a rebuttal.

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. Euripides
