Political Punch

Unlike what Obama tells those that listen to him, both McCain and Clinton have long term plans to deal with the gas prices and oil companies. Where is Obama's? B.O. has few details, if any, about any long term plan that he's come up with. So isn't he playing the fear card here? Who is playing with the facts?

Just because he says it...doesn't make it so. Sounds to me like someone's jealous! And arrogant, as usual.

Relif may last just for 2 days. Then prices will go up again, as it is Market. But than you will pay directly to Oil Companies's profit.
All, relif and all what will follow.

There is no Miracle on the market. You are paying as much as you agree. No matter, if tax included or not.

What kind of people are those clinton's backers? Complete idiots or what?

Let's see. Obama's argument is that reducing the gas price (with gas tax holiday) will cause the gas consumption to increase leading to an eventual price increase. So, Mr. O is saying that the prices should never come down so we all use less gas. Go figure the logic. Stupidity. Also, he says, it's just $30 savings over summer. With savings from gas tax holiday, I can feed my son milk for 15 weeks (pretty much thru summer). Someone put sanity into Big "O".

LET'S BE SERIOUS!

Which candidate can ACTUALLY do anything now about gas tax?

1. Bush can lower prices by leaning on the UNPATRIOTIC oil executives to lower prices.

2. Bush can RELEASE OIL RESERVER, which are there for emergencies!

McCain & Clinton ARE PANDERERS!
They are into gimmicks, WHICH WILL DO NOTHING TO PRICES NOW!

Obama is into long term solution, ONCE AND FOR ALL!

The Old Hoosier needs some economics lessons. Obama, Clinton, and McCain are ALL wrong: The tax cut won't result in ANY appreciable savings for drivers. Why? Because when the price goes down because of the tax cut people will buy more, but the supply will remain limited so the prices will go right back up. This tax holiday is a gimmick to pander for votes. Obama is right about that part of it. We've also learned that any "temporary" tax cut magically transforms into a "tax increase" when it expires, so the long term political effect of this would be to reduce taxes on something we should be trying to discourage consumption of. If the Senators want to cut taxes in a helpful way they should extend the solar energy tax credits that (as of now) will be expiring just before one of them takes office.

The distinction between cure of oil dependency and short-term relief has a certain point to it and gives us an insight into the views of people like this sweet senior woman. Mostly, I thought what she said was funny, and it sounded as if Obama was laughing, too. On the serious side, however, lots of Americans live as if their relationship with the world were short-term and as if the only thing that matters is their short-term self-interest. That's what makes Slick Hillie's pandering disgusting.

These gossips stink.
The public data, REZKO, REV Wright carries more weight than those smearings about Hillary. OBAMA never be able to brush them aside. Hillary never fails to dazzle with brilliance and toughness.

Voters are choosing the best for the WHITE HOUSE. It is Hillary.

pp I know what Bill did as president I don't have to google it. I also remember all the scandals. Should I list them. And now the Peter Paul trial. No more please. This country needs better than that.

How come the Paul Trial against Hilliary has not been brought out by the Media? Plus at Pretrial judge said Hilliary didn't have to testify till after November? Plus told Hilliarys lawyer to say Hi to Bill? Who Owns Who Here?

Yea this guy thinks short time; doesn't care about the future at all. This is politics today.

Republicans are great at it run it like a business. Do a 5 year plane that is redone every year.

The trouble is this is a country that is supposed to last for few hundred years more, I hope. It is a none profit organization, it is not for the benefit of our political leaders.

Thank goodness Obama is a short timer too!
Sounds like the cut in taxes would help truckers and long distance commuters.

The thing that both Hillary Clinton and John McCain don't want you to know: The rest of Congress knows the gas tax holiday is reckless pandering and would never support it. So, It won't get passed this summer, or likely ever.

Clinton/McCain '08 - Partners in pandering

Hilary also plans to stop the opec's monopoly/price setting. She states that 9 of the 13 opec members are also in the world trade organization. the wto has rules against monopolies, which she would pursue as president.

Hillary pays for suspending the gas tax over the summer months by imposing a windfall profits tax on the oil companies.

This is a fact the Obamabots don't want you to know.

Obama claims suspending the gas tax will save you $30... let's see now, 18 cents a gallon will save you $1.80 every 10 gallons. How many gallons do you think you'll use this summer? I'm betting more than $30 worth. That's a lot of arugula!

*sarcasm* I agree with the Hoosier about life being short term prospect. With that logic, why don't we let the national debt continue to balloon without end, our children and our grandchildren will only be here short term too?

Heck while we are at it, why don't we just move aside and let China make these magnets that guide our laser defense missiles too WE ARE ONLY A SUPERPOWER ON A SHORT TERM BASIS. Let's let it go and let it flow.

cappamore and jgaw

Hillary is the smartest candidate by far. No doubt about it. Did you see her on O'Reilly?? Great show and more to come. You could tell he enjoyed that interview; the ratings were through the roof!!

GO HILLARY 2008!!!

lisa,
google the clinton years accomplishments and you will see what he did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
his was a great administration, and he left the white house with a 65% approval rating.

Hey Frisco Girl, Obama is not running scared. You are mistaken.

jgaw: I just checked the posts one more time before I call it a night. Just wanted to say that you are right on! I'm looking for the smartest person in the race to be POTUS, too.

GO HILLARY! AND I LIKE BILL, TOO!

it is not for patriotic reasons the politicians do not want them back-especially that crowd that is in there now. the clintons do not owe them anything-and it will be harder for them to garner favors-it is plain and simple they do not want them back because this time around there really is nothing in it for them. The politicians.
and for those reasons and a whole lot more it should not be up to the politicians.
who i want in the white house is the smartest person-who sound like they have a good grasp of what is ailing me and mine.
when I hear obama giving his speeches I only hear him repeating what the people already know.and he give a broad stroke over the solutions.
sen. clinton is out there tell what the solutions will be and how she will pay for them.
the president for the people is about the future-not the past.
look at sen. clinton on bill o. and on nightline-she is just plain smart with everything-she is conversational about solutions with all of the issues.
and then go back and listen to any one on one interviews of obama.
sen. clinton is the smarter for POTUS.
the country will lose.
