Obama IS psychological relief and a gimmick. And he is right: we don't needit. And just how long does he think his imaginary oil replacement is going to take to get up and running, when ethanol is 'taking food off the tables' of the very people this yuppie who doesn't have to worry about gas prices claims to succor?

I'm a Chicago Democrat and even I can't stomach this phony.

B O's just jealous he didn't come up with McCain's idea of a prize.... so he disses it!

He can't understand that when it comes to offshore drilling you have to start SOME TIME to get the benefit seven or eight years down the pike!

But he's not for STARTING... because we wouldn't get the benefits for seven or eight years!

He doesn't have Hillary to feed him solutions and, left to himself, he's going to disappear in a pool of unsurmountable dilemmas and gaffes.....

Poor B O!
Somebody get the deodorant!

People want change. Obama represents that change in a way that McCain can't. All the bad mouthing and negative talk about Obama wont change the fact that McCain is viewed as old school, with nothing to offer but more of the same.
Obama is smart he is not a push over and has shown he can think on his feet. You may not like him but 3/4 of the people don't want another Bush and McCain is seen as a 3rd term of Bush..

The change is coming through Obama no matter how many things you try to find wrong with him... It is not going to be enough. Putting out hate and spinning negativaty around everything he says won't keep him from the Whitehouse.
I know you guys are posting because you care about what's happening. But what has gone on for the last 8 year has not been working.
There is a current of support for Obama, and no amount of anger, hate or fear talk is going to change that. Obama is a much better man than you make him out to be. He can bring change.. I am not sure it will be enough to undo the deep damage that has been done. In fact I don't think the damage can be undone. But still Obama he does bring hope..

Thanks Be Still

Sadly, Obama has plans to cut NASA -- founded largely on JFK's dreams -- which he neglects to mention. Few of us can imagine how many simple daily tools are the result of the space program. Perhaps the Senator needs to focus on his own mis speaks and policy changes more than throw stones at his opponents? Just one woman's -- who is not voting for him -- opinion.

Hope doesn't put beans on the table or gas in my car. The only hope osama has is that he can remake America into a mirror of Africa, thats where his heart is, not here, not now, not ever.

I have yet to hear Obama give any specifics on how to get us out of this energy crisis. Sure we need to develop alternative energy, but what the hell does he propose we do in the mean time.

Even after a magic oil replacment is found that will replace oil in millions of every day products and services (roads, toothpaste, toys, steel, recycling, ect.) It would take at least 15 years to build the industry to a level that we need it to survive.

The energy crisis needs to be hit from all fronts, Oil, Nuclear, coal, clean coal, geothermal, wind, and solar, and any other recource or energy supply we find along the way! Eventually we may get to a point we don't want or need oil, but that is highly unlikely just based on how readily it is used on an every day basis, in nearly every part of our life whether we realize it or not.

"Obama is smart he is not a push over and has shown he can think on his feet."

Lol yeah that's why Obama is deathly afraid of any debate format that doesn't involve partial moderators and prescripted answers. This guy is an empty suit who depends on his payments of tens of millions of dollars to marketing companies to frame his campaign.

Jennifer Duck changed or misquoted Obama:

"I don't think a $300 million prize is enough"

That is either bad reporting or a deliberate attempt to make it appear Obama would be willing to pay more.

The correct quote:

"I don't think a $300 million prize IS THE WAY TO GO."

Update needed.

Growing algea on algea farms in Arizona will be a short term and long term solution to produce fuel.Much more profitable than growing corn on limited agricultural farm lands.One acre of corn only produce 185 gallon of fuel, but one acre of algea could produce 9000 gallon of fuel.

"I’ve been talking about this myself for the last few years. But I don’t think a $300 million prize is enough,"

Why did they misquote Obama here?

It should read, "But I don't think a
$300 million prize is the way to go"

Just say NO! to liberal media. Just say NO! to an Obama nation!

NO! Obama!

Gore pays extra for electricity from renewal sources. Gore did help reduce government waste and jobs, jobs have gone up 60% in last 7 years. Gore did write the bill establishing the internet, he called it the "information superhighway". I don't know about the rest of you but I'm tired ofr half truths.

Maybe its me, i dont know. but i am tired of the ambiguity from both sides as to exactly how they will fix the current energy crisis or the economic crisis. Both of them are loaded down with money so if the price of gas goes up to $5 a gal which makes the food they buy to feed thier kids go up what are they hurting? The money in their bank accounts is still there. They are not watching it slowly diminish week by week or day by day as the average tax paying american is. Our outgoing is increasing almost daily yet the politicians have the audacity to sit in d.c. and bicker about things like who said what and when??? come on all the talk is doing NOTHING to fix our problems!!! These issues with fannie mae and freddie mac, aig, lehman brothers, started with greed....in the ugliest form of it too. lets walk all over the average american because we think they are too dumb to realize whats going on and it will never catch up with us and when it finally does our pockets will be bursting with dough!!! they will get left with the empty purse and must find a way to refill it. I just want one candidate to stand up like a man (or woman) and say enough is enough..i dont care what my party is telling me to say or do i am going to find a way to fix america even if it costs me my reputation among my cronies.
