OBAMA THE GREAT-the Obama Presidency - Page 52

the U.S. and most of the world would be a better safer more ecomically sound place if Clinton had never been in office

Well, we can disagree. I really think, although he was far from perfect, and allowed the Al Queda thing to perpetuate, he was a very good president. However, he is to blame for some of 911.

well we can agree on Ford i guess (motor company lol)...just did my brief and very occassional stop in here for a quick chat

I need to learn to do the same. These political threads turn me psyco. I need to stay away, but am addicted.

sounds like a resolution for 2011
i can barely force myself to even click on this forum but just peek in now and then...dont really know why...never get anything from it and cant offer anything to anyone with their mind and opinions already made up...so i usually find better more constuctive things to do with my time...so with that said...gnite p&r section at least for tonight

Obama- In Bed with the Oil Industry?

He must be. Gas is now at $3+ a gallon in most places, yet he does nothing about it.

Its people like you that give Texans a bad name

Why should he? Higer prices will allow the market to continue with Hybrids, electric cars, renweable fuels- thus new jobs. That's the only way we're gonna get off oil. The GOP facade of drill her drill now is just that, a facade. I hope gas goes to 7 bucks.

Interesting. I was just wondering because that was all one would hear about when prices were rising under Bush. I'm simply calling out the double standard.

But, whatever man, you're cool.

Again, none of this happened under Bush, so why would you think it would happen now? It's been that high in Europe ($7 a gallon) for more than a decade, and I haven't heard about any great breakthroughs from over there.

That reminds me, once again, of our complicit media.

Maybe if we could just get him to throw out some anti-gay slurs, like Honors did in a video for his crew, then we could get stuff like this on the nightly news?

I suggest you travel to Europe. It's nothing like transportation here.

I, for one, do not envy Europe on any level. I prefer our current modes of transportation.

Then again, I live in the country so I don't see the government running mass transit lines anywhere close enough to be effective for me.

The thing is, in Europe, the government are actually much smaller. Yeah, they do a lot, but for much fewer people.

Just like small companies can be more efficient than large companies, small government are more efficient than large governments.

Obama is absolutely in bed with the oil industry.

It is funny though, because not being in bed with the oil industry would mean allowing free market principles. Which would mean no gasoline subsidies, no oil subsidies, strict safety regulation, etc. Those would cause the price of gas to jump.

Bush and Obama being in the pocket of the oil companies (I would say Obama less than Bush, merely because Obama did come down fairly hard on BP and other companies with deepwater drilling; Cheyney was famous for replacing the regulators with people (his friends) tied to the industry) is actually good for your bottom line in the short-term. However, in the long-term it is bad, since it takes away incentive to find an alternative to oil/gas.

You are the biggest hypocrite ever AND here is why...Under Bush thats all we heard was Bush + oil... Bush invade so and so because he wants higher oil prices to get rich and so on and on and on for many years. Now that your guy is in office you want him to make gas/oil cost more and say it's a good thing? If thats not proof of what you are then I'm sorry.


BTW - See this is what you should do when you call someone a name. Back it up with something..Not "go read a book"

"You are the biggest hypocrite ever"....



Gov't caused shortages do nothing else.
NEVER HAVE. NO new jobs. EVER.




.

All I can do is laugh at you. I never said or even though Iraqi was about oil. Now, go read your Bible hypocrite and trade your bankrupt pennies.
