WHAT THE HECK? Obama says himself, "I will make energy prices skyrocket"
Posted By: 2 days before election. YOU ARE CRAZY TO VOTE FOR on 2008-11-02
In Reply to:
Read, listen, and weep. Right from his own mouth. He now states this 2 days before election. No wonder he wanted earlier voters. He did say he needs to kill people's expectations if him being president. No kidding. Sorry you ya, I will be blaming the one's who vote for O for this. This guy is CRAZY. He FREAKS ME OUT. There is something not right with him and this whole picture and his motive. He says that is why we should have energy efficient lightbulbs and efficient appliances to help with the skyrocket of electricity?

Those prices are OUTRAGEOUS! Bad plan, Obama!
According to the table on the website you linked, in my state their insurance would cost nearly $800 a month! Holy KRAP, Batman! I pay a little over a quarter of that.
So Obama thinks some welfare family should get an $800/mo policy for free and I, because I can afford my own inrance, have to pay for lesser coverage.
This is a joke, right? He can't be serious.
And those rate tables were from 2004/5. Lord only knows what they are today.
So what. Our electricity is going to SKYROCKET.
Oh my gosh. Who gives a rip when it was posted. It was held back and now finally coming out. He is crazy. I wonder what that video was about too with Khalid and what else is there. Afraid to find out. You wanted change, you are going to get it.
Maybe that is why FOX continues to skyrocket.

oil prices
$3.09 where I live. In the past administrations have released some of the gas that are in reserves to help the people until the prices decrease a bit but, of course, not this president. His oil cronie buddies probably would not allow it.
Prices
And how is this going to affect the price of heating oil? Fall/winter isn't far off, and people who need to heat their homes are going to be affected. Some people would apparently rather let their children literally freeze to death before accepting assistance from someone like Chavez. (Reminds me so much of the effect Jim Jones and David Koresh had on their followers.)
Those who believe they represent the middle class in America, I believe, are in for a rude awakening. The rich are definitely getting richer, and the poor and middle class are getting poorer. Soon we will be a nation merely of those who are rich and those who are poor, poorer and poorest.
Prices were very high
There were no bargins this summer. Everything was very expensive. Cheaper to shop in US.
Sure is curious how gas prices have gone up, too.
nm
As long as prices don't get
outrageously high....that is my concern. I don't mind it going up a bit but not like it was.
Gas prices - 259 a gallon - it's awful...nm
x
even if they did Americans would be outraged when the prices went up
we all want our cake and eat it too, that's the problem. You can't pay Americans good wages and expect cheap products. I'm not saying i'm for or against outsourcing but that's just the way it is.
what happens to car prices if Chrysler files bankruptcy?
If Chrysler ends up filing bankruptcy and has to liquidate, will the prices of the new cars go down or will everything just continue on, business as usual as far as we are concerned?
I am in the process of looking at a convertible Sebring and am now wondering if maybe I should wait an extra month and see what kind of deal I can get...

Truly, someone like this is not worth the energy.
There is no logical thought behind their posts. Calling me a racist is a silly immature infantile leftist ploy. We know that. I learned a long time ago to ignore posters such as this.
Ok, no more 5-hour energy for you...lol (sm)
While I usually agree with most of your posts, because I tend to flip flop a little between left and right myself, I am sure that conspiracy theory is incorrect. I don't think Obama is going to just be a martyr for the democratic party. I actually think that regardless of which candidate wins there will be a danger of assassination. It doesn't take the majority to be racist, it just takes one nutjob really. But really I think you were up too late and hyped up a bit too much and letting your mind wander a little too far. I am sure there were lots of reasons Biden was chosen but no, that hypothesis you stated is kinda too far out there.
How about spending all that energy doing
Sorry if you call what you have been doing work, but it shouldn't surprise me. Most O lovers aren't worried about hard work, just free money.
First off...Obama would make sure that there was a mission...sm
if he had to put soldier's in harms way...not like Bush or McCain that attacked Iraq aimlessly without thinking of the consequences or a way to end the war. We've lost more lives (not to mention billions of dollars) in Iraq than we did on 9/11 and we still are.
Why wouldn't Obama want to protect the country and family that he loves...that makes no sense.
He has ran a very well organized campaign which gives us a good indication on how he will run this country - with great leadership and INTELLIGENCE -for once!
I would like to hear how Obama will make it better.
nm
Yes I make more and I will vote Obama because sm
I want it to be fair as far as taxation. I do not want to get a tax break when people are sleeping in their cars who 2 years ago were in the middle class. I will pay taxes, only 3 percent more. Actually it is going back to the tax structure that Clinton had which worked out fine for the country and we had no debt.
Do you make over $250,000 a year? With Obama I'm
.
Make fun of Obama all you want...I ain't married to the guy. sm
But, if you want to know if this cartoon was racist, YES, IT'S RACIST. If it had been about Bush, it would just be disrespectful. These are two TOTALLY different issues. Being disrespectful is one thing...to publish a racist cartoon is a completely different story, especially if you would understand the history of racism in this country. Just totally unjustified as cartoon material; a chimp, when we have a black man for president, and two cops shooting the chimp: pure unadulterated, blatant racism. The NY Post CANNOT / COULD NOT believe they wouldn't get called on this.
Obama is terrifying. He is going to make this

sorry, Obama did not make this decision -

Record gas prices/Exxon profits at all time high. sm
You are the one who tried to make this windfall tax profit thing an issue. Over the past few days, your posts accusing Obama of being a Marxist/socialist black liberationist theologian have been effectively challenged by alternative viewpoints of "windfall tax," "rebate," and "black liberation theology." The right-wingers and media are constantly pushing for "immediate/emergency" relief from the high price of gas. We debate the pros and cons of McCain's tax holiday/offshore drilling versus Obama's tax rebate funded by an "emergency" excise tax and his other longer-term initiatives, particularly in view of the fact that in a time when we are paying record-shattering prices for gas, Exxon is posting record-shattering profits.
There is nothing evil about recognizing that there is something wrong with this picture and that the oil companies should bear some responsibility in the consequences we all pay for their greed. Rebate coupons, schemes and incentives are as American as apple pie. We are forced to stuff their pockets with these obscene profits in the absence of price regulation. It is not too much to ask that they come out from behind their curtain of corruption once in a blue moon and show some appreciation to the consumers whose hard-earned money "trickles up" to the wealthiest among us. BTW, the CEOs did exactly what to earn this "windfall?"
Maybe you are not feeling the same pinch the rest of us are dealing with. When some of our fellow citizens are making decisions between paying for their obscenely priced medications versus their obscenely priced food versus their obscenely priced housing versus their obscenely priced gas with their stagnant wages, or worse still, their unemployment checks because their jobs are the latest ones to bite the dust and be shipped overseas and the $60 that it takes to fill their tanks to make a thorough job search is prolonging their misery and that of their families, it is reasonable that we might consider all the possible alternatives to address this problem. An energy rebate is a good idea for those of us who are not bent on bashing Obama 24/7 and I suspect most of us could care less where it is coming from.
Thank you so much for your concern about my energy level.
Too bad this poster doesn't put this much energy
she probably is up there amongst the well-to-do. Maybe a rich man's wifey, who never has to lift a finger.
Ya really need to read the article...yes they do take up a lot of energy...sm
if she's going to brag about her *credentials* on energy and I use the term loosely, then she'd better set the example. A tanning bed is no toaster and completely unnecessary in anyone's home along with the jet she got rid of at a half million dollar loss.
Next thing you know she'll be wearing $300,000 skirts also.
She needs to practice what she preaches.
SP's energy policies demonstrate
1. Sarah's socialism is fine and dandy for Alaska: "...and Alaska - we're set up, UNLIKE other states in the union, where it's collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we SHARE THE WEALTH when the development of these resources occurs"... boasting to a reporter of having been able to send a check for $1,200 to every man, woman and child in the state since, "Alaska is sometimes described as America's socialist state, because of its collective ownership of resources.”
2. She agrees with Obama's windfall profits concept...a windfall profit, by any other name, is...well, a windfall profit.
3. Sarah is a hypocrite.
4. Sarah can articulate the shrub's oil policies even more precisely that her running mate.
Don't waste your energy trying to engage
I don't argue with brick walls.
You know, I'm all for alternative energy sources....sm
But there are unintended consequences to everything.
The windfarms that they have as an experiment here in eastern Montana, have killed hundreds of birds and over a thousand bats.
This is not good. It reminds me of all the honeybees that are disappearing around the world. I lean towards the cell phone tower theory on the bees, that somehow it is disorienting them, and killing them, before they can return to their hives....maybe even contributing to the fungus that some scientists say have killed the bees.
This year, we didn't think our bats were going to show up, and we wondered where they were. We usually have one or two that show up in June, and take up residence under our eaves, and behind our thermostat on the deck. We see them fly at sunset, and they eat upwards of 1200 insects an hour.....if the bats disappear, the insects will remain, and who knows what the unintended consequences may be....
Just food for thought.....

Good...maybe we can finally get an energy
policy that relieves us from OPEC, et.al., and save our 700B a year! Will be tough but the tough will get going again. We need to fix the railroads to transport goods economically rather than trucking everything. Sorry to the truckers but we have to get smart again.
Stop. Don't waste your energy.
victim mentality they probably couldn't escape it even if they wanted to. They cannot separate the truth from the propaganda they have been fed. If they think the report pertains to them, perhaps they are really rightwing extremists.
I just hope Obama doesn't make use of them...
for political dissidents. You can't tell me that Congress, including Mr. Obama, do not know they exist. Come on now.

You need to make up your mind. Is Obama a Nazi or a Communist? Do you...sm
know the difference? I think not. You are just being inflammatory. He is neither. He is a U.S. constitutional law professor and a proud patriotic American. You need to educate yourself instead of just spouting what you hear from people who are ignorant of the facts.
well, you make it sound like Obama is doing something wrong by being paid -

Why does Obama winning make Americans clueless?...nm

Dont worry. Obama is going to make this a welfare

I forgot to add I like what she says about energy and drilling and not being dependent on other coun
She is a very strong woman and I have every confidence in her she will be a great VP and even great President if it came down to it.
Go McCain/Palin.
Clean Energy Fuels and Nancy Pelosi
My, must be nice. Trying to pass a bill for clean energy and who is going to profit from this? T. Boone Pickens owns Clean Energy Fuels. Nancy and her husband bought #50K-$100K worth of stock in May 2007. No wonder she's pushing it. It means a fortune for her.
Another site states her husband bought the shares alone, but she lives in CA where it's share and share alike.

Commentary: Voting against Obama doesn't make you a racist...sm
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/09/beck.issues/index.html
No, gourdpainter...it's gonna be Obama ruling....make no mistake....
Obama and the democratic congress.
I think it's highly doubtful Hillary will pass muster to be SOS, since Bill has too many shady dealings with China and the Saudis, and who knows who else he has taken/is taking money from, and selling our national secrets to (or did, in the case of China with our military secrets).
As for Bush, don't know how you get him thrown in the equation, unless someone named Bush has been appointed....I'm working too much to pay close attention...
But, as I said, make no mistake. No matter who Obama appoints, it's gonna be him and his socialist/marxist agenda....Obama and his far left agenda to the max.....
I'm hiding for the next four years......
I just don't have the energy to fight anymore, I guess. This was lame attempt!
I need to work anyway. 
what in the heck
happened to the feminist movement, and/or growing up as women? why are women acting so catty (no offense meant to cats)...We are attacking a VP candidate for what she wears? As if that makes her more or less qualified, or has anything at all to do with her ability to connect with/understand the populace?, not to mention the polices. give me a break. BTW, who complains about Mr. try-to-be-a-common-man's suit being so sharp and pricey? You can't tell me that wasn't a mega-dollar suit Obama has been seen in lately -- but who cares??? Shake off the fluff of it all people and look at the character, integrity and wisdom of the candidates!!!
Heck no
I sure wouldn't. If people can't wear their shirts showing their candidates, he should not be able to dress that way, which is a blatant attempt to intimidate voters.
It is a heck of a lot different when
they are paying actors 3 million plus per movie and that is only one actor. That is just ridiculous. If these liberal actors want to help the little people so much, why don't they take a pay cut so hollywood can afford to pay the little guys who help make the movies, etc. Why should the tax payers have to pay for it? These big wigs in hollywood are making millions upon millions a year and hollywood wants MY money to create jobs. Are you friggin KIDDING ME!!!!!
Heck NO!
It is not MY responsibility to fund someone's contraceptive.......PERIOD! That's the same as my encouraging they have sex without worrying about the consequences in the first place.
And I sure as heck DO NOT want to fund contraceptive for the world! We need to worry about the unwanted children right here in our own back yards. We cannot police the world. We have private organizations that deal with many ministries and help throughout the world. PRIVATE DONATIONS are the key words here.........not forced taxpayer funding!
