Ah, but will you be able to afford the electric bill?
I don't know about your utility bills, but ours are going through the roof lately.
Who Killed The Electric Car?
Wow, I just watched that documentary and it was very eye opening! The movie just talks about automotive manufacturers and oil companies crushing electric car manufactuing in the 1990s. Cars can run off of electricity alone, but of course the oil companies would lose trillions of dollars if electric cars became the norm for most Americans. I highly recommend watching the movie.
I also recommend replacing at least one regular light bulb in your home with an energy-saving model. If every household in the US did this, we could reduce global warming pollution by more than 90 billion pounds over the life of the bulbs; the SAME AS TAKING 6.3 MILLION CARS OFF THE ROAD. Wow! Just a small thing we can all do to make a big difference.
I have believed for years that big companies are running this country. They seem to have most politicians in the palm of their hand. It's sickening, really. Greed is such an ugly destructive thing, and these big corporations will never feel that they have enough money. They want more, more, more and will crush anything to get it. Many politicians are their puppets, and big corporations have entirely TOO MUCH power over this country and do not have the average American family's best interests at heart. We all need to stand up and demand more freedom from foreign oil.
who killed the electric car?
I love this documentary. I think GM has bad karma.
O was wise ... wait... wait... I'm rolling in the aisle.

Osamabama 'distances' himself from every lame association he ever had with his rat pack of radical nut job friends.
And if he's lucky enough to get elected, he's going to distance himself from his fawning flock as soon as his advisors tell him there's no way in hades to pay for his free po'folk tax cuts he promised without throwing the economy into the tank.
When Bill Clinton was in office, OHHH you better believe Bill and Carter have had..sm
their day of mudslinging matches, at the pleasure of a many conservatives. So, no there's not a double standard here.
Bill Maher Takes On Bill O'Reilly
BILL O'REILLY, HOST: In the "Personal Story" segment tonight, political humorist Bill Maher (search), he has a new book out called "New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer." Of course, Mr. Maher is about as polite as I am and as timid as Dracula. He joins us now from Los Angeles.
You know, you've had some celebrities on your HBO show, "Real Time," which begins again on Friday, talking about policy and war on terror and stuff like that. I get the feeling they don't know very much, but you do. So I'd like to make Bill Maher, right now, the terror czar. Bill Maher, the terror czar. Could be a series.
How would you fight this War on Terror? How would you fight it?
BILL MAHER, HOST, HBO'S "REAL TIME": I think the first and most important thing is to get the politics out of the War on Terror. You know, maybe I'm a cockeyed optimist, Bill, maybe I'm naive, but I thought that 9/11 was such a jarring event that nobody would dare return to business as usual on that one subject after that.
But of course, we found out that nothing could be further from the truth. And your president, my president too, but the one you voted for...
O'REILLY: You don't know that. Were you looking over my shoulder there? I could have voted for Nader. I could have voted for Kerry, but Kerry wouldn't come on the program, so I wouldn't vote. But I could have gone for Ralph. Ralph's a friend of mine.
MAHER: Yes. Anyway, I said the guy you voted for, President Bush, you know, how come this guy, who was supposed to be such a kick-and-take- names kind of guy, how come he has not been able to get the politics out of this?
You know, as a guy who's been accused of treason, I'll tell you what real treason is: Treason is when legislators vote against homeland security measures because it goes against the wishes of their political or financial backers. Treason is the fact that, as a terrorist, you could still buy a gun in this country because the NRA (search) lobby is so strong.
O'REILLY: OK. But you're getting into the political, and I agree with you. I think that the country should be united in trying to seek out and kill terrorists, who would kill us.
But I'd like to have some concrete things that you, Bill Maher, the terror czar — and take this seriously, this could be a series — what would you do?
All right, so you've got bin Laden. You've got Al Qaeda (search). You've got a bunch of other lower-level terrorist groups. What do you do to neutralize them?
MAHER: OK. Well, first of all, you discounted my answer, which is get the politics out, but OK.
O'REILLY: Well, assume you can do that. They're gone.
MAHER: We'll let that go. Keep going. I wouldn't worry that much about bin Laden. I mean, capturing bin Laden at this point, it doesn't really matter whether he's dead or alive. He's already Tupac to the people who care about him and work for him. Capturing bin Laden, killing him would be like when Ray Kroc died, how much that affected McDonald's.
O'REILLY: It would be a morale booster. But I understand. You're not going to send...
MAHER: A morale booster, right. Well, we've had plenty of morale boosting. We've had plenty of window dressing. What we need is concrete action.
In the book I wrote before this one about terrorism, I suggested that we have a Secret Service for the people. I said whenever the president goes anywhere, he has very high-level, intelligent detectives who look around at a crowd. They know what they're looking for. They're highly paid. They're highly trained.
We don't have that in this country. We should have that. We should have a cadre of 10,000 highly trained people who would guard all public events, bus stations, train stations, airports — and stop with this nonsense that this robotic sort of window dressing...
O'REILLY: OK, so you would create a homeland security office that was basically a security firm for major targets and things like that. It's not a bad idea. Costs a lot of money. Costs a lot of money. It's not a bad idea.
MAHER: Costs a lot of money compared to what? If you paid 10,000 people a salary of $100,000 a year, that would, I think, cost $10 billion or something. That's nothing. There's that much pork in the transportation bill before you get...
O'REILLY: Yes, 10,000 wouldn't do it, but I get your drift.
MAHER: Whatever it costs.
O’REILLY: You would create a super-security apparatus. OK, that's not bad. That's not bad. How about overseas now?
MAHER: What we need to do is what I call get Israeli about this. Because the Israelis are not afraid of profiling. The Israelis are not afraid to bury politics in the greater cause of protecting their nation. We don't act that way. You know, I'm afraid 9/11 really changed nothing.
O'REILLY: Boy, your ACLU (search) pals aren't going to like that. You're going to lose your membership card there.
MAHER: I'm not a member of the ACLU.
O'REILLY: Oh, sure you are, just like I voted for Bush. You're a member of the ACLU. I can see the card right in your pocket there.
MAHER: Bill, I'm not a joiner. I'm not a joiner. I don't like organizations.
O'REILLY: They won't have you, Maher, let's be honest about that. All right, now, in your book, which is very amusing, by the way — if you want a few laughs buy Maher's book.
MAHER: Thank you.
O'REILLY: You take some shots at FOX News, which is your wont, and I just want to know why you think we're so fabulously successful here.
MAHER: Well, I think that question has been answered many times. It's because the conservative viewer in this country, or on radio the conservative listener, is very predictable. They like to hear what they like to hear. They like to hear it over and over again.
O'REILLY: All the surveys show that the viewers are all over the map. They're not conservative in a big bloc. Some of them are moderate. Some of them are Democrats. Some of them are Moroccans. I mean, they're everywhere. That's your analysis? That just the conservatives watch us?
MAHER: Well, I think mostly the conservatives do watch you. That's not to take anything away from what you guys have achieved over there. It's a very well-produced broadcast, and they have excellent personalities like yourself, Bill. Who could resist watching you when you get home from work at night?
O'REILLY: Whoopi Goldberg, maybe? I don't know.
MAHER: Yes.
O'REILLY: Anyone who doesn't watch here is misguided. We identify them as such.
But look, I think there's more to it than — you're in TV. You know the ratings game. I mean, if you don't provide a product that is satisfying people, no matter what your ideology, they tell you to take a hike.
There's a guy over at MSNBC. He's a very conservative guy. He was hired and nobody's watching him. They hire liberals. Nobody watches them. Air America (search). Nobody's listening to it.
I mean, there's got to be a reason why we're No. 1, a punch line for you, and No. 2, you know, becoming the most powerful news network in the world.
MAHER: Well, I think, as I say, it's a well-produced product. You know, your program moves along, always at a clip that never seems to bore. You know, you move along to the next topic, the next guest. It never sort of drags. I don't think a lot of people know how to produce that stuff that way.
O'REILLY: All right. It's bells and whistles and my charming personality. That's what I thought it was.
Last thing: You know, one thing I like about Maher is he's not a hypocrite. He drives a little hybrid vehicle. Right? You putter around there. Does it have training wheels? What's it like?
MAHER: Actually, I had the Prius hybrid for three years. I was one of the first ones to get it right after 9/11. And I traded it in a few months ago for the Lexus hybrid.
O'REILLY: I think we should all cut back on our energy consumption, and I think we should all get these hybrids as fast as we can.
Hey, Bill, always nice to see you. Thanks very much. Good luck with the season on the TV show.
MAHER: Continued success there, Mr. No. 1.
O'REILLY: All right. Thank you.

Bill Clinton and his ties to India (yes, Bill),...
and China (yes, Bill) sent a lot of our jobs their way. Google it some time. Even I was amazed.
Look, it is simple economics. The big bad corporations everyone hates...first of all, it is not 5 or 6 rich guys and that's it. They employee thousands of people just like us...and when the government puts those huge taxes on them, if they want to stay in business, they are forced to move offshore. Higher taxes are responsible for more jobs going overseas than "greed." The DNC has told its members for years that "corporations" and "the rich" are the cause of all their problems and they have bought that Marxist rhetoric hook, line, and sinker. Corporations are not the cause of ill in this country. They are the backbone of the economy in this country. That is simple economics 101. And I am certainly not rich...and I certainly am not on the upper echelon of a corporation, but I do understand reality and I understand how the economy works. Yes, there is wrongdoing by some upper level folks in corporations. There is wrongdoing in the government. Where there is power, there will be wrongdoing. But for every Enron there are thousands of other good, solid companies that employ thousands of Americans, but the DNC does not share the success stories, because it does not promote their agenda. In order to control people they want them beholden to government and hating free enterprise. They want big government, total power, and control. And following Alinksy's program...you have to instill class warfare. You have to make corporations the enemy. You have to make classes envy the next rung up. Classic Marxist socialism. It is being played out in this country every day.
It is just that some of us have not bought the myth and jumped on the socialism train.
Did you read the bill? It was a regulatory reform bill...
asking them to regulate, not de-regulate. But Democrats blocked it...no wonder. Fannie was greasing a lot of Democratic palms...and Frederick Raines, the Dem CEO at the time...was in the Clinton administration. They were taking care of their own...and we are paying for it.
Wait, wait - see message
I see the cloud opening and a light coming through... maybe I'm going to have an epiphany and realized I should have voted for him all along. HA HA HA
if abe is on the $5 bill & george is on the $1 bill, what is Obama on?
****censored****
Yes..cant wait
Yes, soon. Gonna be very interesting.
wait you said
6 or 8 or 10 times before you didn't care if he was a rock star. I don't understand. Plez elaborate why you don't care and what you think this means and how we can change it so that you DO care. Don't mince words, I want to know.
Oh, wait . . . I just got it
it is being written as Samonella, not Salmonella so it is jab at sam. My, oh my, what sensitive people.
Wait, did you actually just say this: sm
You wrote:
"Well, unlike some, I don't decide what to think depending on what the candidate I support says."
Oh sam, that is priceless. You slay me. You and Sarah Palin are both adorable.
But wait - there's more!
This is absolutely a fact - a fact that has been swept under the rug by the liberal media. Actually, there are a LOT of facts that are swept under the rug, while we focus on the fact that Palin's daughter is pregnant, or that her clothes are too expensive, or her lack of experience (they conveniently avoid the fact that Obama was in congress 143 days, and most of the time didn't even bother to vote). Do the American people know that there is a lawsuit pending regarding the fact that Obama was born in Kenya? (His own family members have stated this fact). I doubt that little fact was leaked out to too many CBS or CNN viewers. Do the American people know the magnitude of the fraudulent votes through the Democratic group Acorn (over 200,000 in Ohio alone!) And one of the heads of ACORN insists this is not a ploy to win the election. Oh really?? If this were a group of Republicans registering the dead and nonexistant to vote all he** would break loose. But it's not - it favors the Democrats, so we'll sweep that under the rug, too...
Can't wait
Guaranteed, they'll turn on Obama. Personally, I can't wait. That is assuming we still have our first amendment rights.
Wait! We don't know if he's going to be
a great leader yet. I'm hoping so, and so does DH, but only time will tell.
BB I can't wait
to hear that explanation either. I can't figure out whether some of these posters are mentally challenged or if they just believe everything they hear and "wish" would be true. Trickle up poverty? LOL Might not do so much harm if some of the poverty trickled up to these bloated CEOs and politicians. Might not hurt them any to go live in a trailer house for awhile and eat pinto beans. ROFL at the very thought. Doncha know they wouldn't like even middle class living let alone poverty.
He can't do everything in one day...wait and see what happens.
:)
Oh just wait
It is going to get much, much worse. Hyperinflation is going to rear its ugly head here soon enough.
Just wait until they
start cap and trade. If you think your utility bills are high now....just wait. No one will be able to afford heat, light, etc. It will double if not more. Kinds of makes me wish I had a wood stove or fire place in my house just in case we can't afford heat during the winter.
We will just have to wait and see
when all the information is unclassified and investigated. I personally feel that Obama has opened up a big can of worms with this. He should have left well alone. I think we need more information, and certainly not from MSNBC, before we will truly know the truth behind this.
You can bash Fox News every time someone posts something and yet you can't handle me attacking your precious little MSNBC. Awww.
Yes, BEST to wait
but once they are grown, they will make their own decision in every facet of life, regardless what they have been taught. You hope and pray it will be the right thing. Yes, it is best to wait. It is the best thing to do. It is the Christian thing to do. Whether they do or not will be up to them. I taught them what was best. What did you teach your son?
I will wait for the jury to come in.
We haven't heard the whole story or even the tip of the iceberg. Personally, I cannot abide Bill O'Reilly. John Murtha is a 37 year military veteran and has always been a hawk. I would like to hear more of what he knows. I will withhold judgment until I do hear.
We can't wait a few years. Someone needs to......sm
do something to get these parasites out of the White House now.
I can't wait for the debates...sm
And yeah...I agree Hillary lost her thunder when it became evident she was robbing Peter to pay Paul.
wait a minute there
if you are wealthy and repub, drug addiction is an ILLNESS. If you are middle class or poor and perhaps a person of color, it is CRIME. Get your facts straight.
The pit bull can't wait either. He won't need
nm
yes, can hardly wait for some more "uuhhhs"
nm
can't wait for the debates
A constitutional lawyer is pretty . . . good . . . in debates.
LOL!!! I'm sure if you wait long enough
someone will choose Howling with Laughter too!!! HWL! Oh he--, maybe I'll change to HWL! or H/L. Silly ol' bear.
lets just wait and see how it
all plays out. As for McCain being incontinent, I did not know that until you said so. That's a shame.
Can we really afford to wait
until November to vote on this? I don't think so. Something needs to be done now. I'm sure they will have a plan by the end of this weekend and it will be passed.
I totally can NOT wait!
I'm sure the writers at SNL are going to get a LOT of skit-fodder for Tina Fey in this next go-round.
I'm counting down the hours 'til this one! It's gonna be GOOD!!!!!!
Just wait until she gets her beloved
the other Dem congresspeople in office, see what kind of power they have then!
And if you think the schools are bad now, just wait
Obama can't even get his own state straightened out, but he's gonna straighten out the country!
We’ve already seen how Barack manages large programs, under the Annenberg Challenge with Bill Ayers he gave away a total of 150 million to gaggle of community activist groups to improve schools. Some of those groups were radical, but putting that aside a moment you can see that the vague “feel good” instead of results-oriented direction under Obama just created monumental waste with zero results. The other cities given these grants saw improvement, Chicago stands alone with zero improvement.
Oh now, wait a minute
Isn't it the dems that hate rich old white folks. But, of course, you can't hate rich old black folks, right?
What a hypocrit!
just wait, Chele, until they get all our
guns. I think the UN troops will do that, door to door, along with whatever else some guy might see while he is in your home, like your 12 year old daughter or your antique jewelry left by your grandmother. These people over here just don't realize what is coming. So sad, the late, great America.
Guess we will have to wait and see
If/when he is elected and watch for the release of his personal tax returns. The only way to know for sure.
Wait...let me do a little editing....sm
just kidding...lol
Absolutely.....oh no, wait, they won't pay me...I
nn
Wait for the documentary...of course, you won't believe that either...sm
You and others here were well informed and still voted for Obama.
However, massive numbers of voters know/knew next to nothing about Obama.
You can't change those facts, no matter how the media tries to twist it.
Just one more reason why I can't wait until
How do you spell 'R-E-L-I-E-F' ??
Dubya is not only a tard, he's also a TURD. Kudos to the Iraqi reporter.
wait till you see the
newstand next week -- nothing but a sea of Obama faces. Better do a two-week marketing this week.
Wait a minute!!!!
So now it's unpatriotic to bash the president? Seriously?
yeah.....so let's wait until they
blow up part of the US before we believe they have WMDs. Sounds like a great idea to me........sheesh. Some of you people wouldn't believe there are WMD even if it was shot up your bum.
Wait a minute now
I have always been a Republican, but I have to say I am very disappointed by what I see. The news is getting worse and worse everyday because we have 24/7 news! Everyone under the sun has a 1 hour news show where they have to talk about something and the economy is what they focus on. I never see any good news anymore. It seems they are more worried about what Fox is saying and Fox is worried about what so-and-so said on another station. A bunch of little boys trying to see who has the bigger penis (sorry, but true). So it is an all out slamming war. I always thought Republicans/Conservatives were patriotic - oh not so now!! They are the ones throwing the tantrum and being negative about EVERYTHING! They aren't supporting the president or who is in charge. Where is the hope? Where is the proud American attitude? The dems won, it's their turn, stop listening to the "doom" messages and wait to see what happens. GEEZ! Like I said, I am a Repubican, and I will accept this plan for the economy and I will support my president. Just because most of the plans don't improve my life, doesn't mean they don't improve the life of someone else who deserves it and our country. Call me crazy, but I still believe in supporting my country no matter what because, well, I like living here. Talk about what you believe in and disagree with, but quit saying we are going down the drain. That's being a little dramatic!
We can't wait until the end of his term as you put it
People are underwater every day and more following. Trying to pass a budget before it's necessary is just another way of spending money and has nothing to do to help the economy, especially with the thousands of earmarks in it. The congress and senate are still on the so-called honeymoon and O thinks everything will go smooth for the first 100 days.
Well, it's not. It's not better than when Bush was office. The house and senate are still fighting and nothing O says helps. Of course, NP and her threats don't help. Bipartisanship my foot! NP wants to take over and she's doing a very good job of being "acting president."
Yep, the wait-and-see crowd
has not much to say. We waited. We saw. None of this surprises anybody who watched anything other than CBS, NBC and ABC during the campaign.
And remember, Clinton was impeached, but remained in office. Throwing the bum out is a separate step after impeachment.
No wait, don't tell me -- you think if a kid is adopted,
BTW - I know a gay couple (women) who had children, and they're legally both women's children. How did they do it? Donor sperm, one woman donated the egg, and the other woman was inseminated, carried the pregnancy, and gave birth. So there is both a birth-mother AND a biological mother.
I wait years
I never go to the doctor - no insurance - cannot afford it, so I wait years until I'm deathly ill. I don't think Universal Health Care is the answer either- I don't know the answer - but I wish someone would come up with something.
