What alternate reality spewed you from its ********?

[demwatcher]

Obama demonstrates his complete lack of knowledge of how oil prices are set.

THEY ARE SET BY THE HIGHEST BIDDER ON THE OIL TRADING MARKET, DUMBARSE! JUST LIKE ALL ITEMS TRADED ON STOCK EXCHANGES!

No wonder the rest of the world wonders why Liberals love this idiot.

[blkpresident]

Indiana and North Carolina,

You have two choices: a candidate pipe dreaming about a woman becoming president while America is engaged in not one but two wars; and, Obama. It''s really that simple. Missy''s out.

[parrot123-2009]

Obama is wrong again! Cont6rol of the oilcpmpcny prixes was tried before with a resulting oil shortage!
His inexperience is glaring!

You can go back to 1973 and hear the same retohric from way back. We already have ourselves to blame for this and if we don''t get it this time, then we will really look stupid.

"Barack Obama can''t deliver for working people if he supports higher gas taxes when the price of fuel is at a record high, and is likely to get higher by summertime," said McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds.


Only a Repug would talk trash like this - what has gas taxes got to do with $119/barrel of crude oil that''s currently driving these prices up ?? Most Repugs believe that production is down and supply needs to match demand but you don''t see any queues or lack of Gas anywhere in the country - besides they always fail to account for those D*amn Speculators. It pays if they''ll just look up some of these stuff and stop disgracing the rest of the country. Cheers!

How does Obama think he''ll solve the oil crisis? Will he just say "heal" and it''ll happen. I didn''t hear of his "reaching across the aisle" to Republicans to initiate the windfall profits tax since he''s been in Congress. He has capitulated as much as those he now condemns. Consumers will end up forcing the issue by buying fuel-efficient vehicles because they caused some of the problems with their preference for gas- guzzling trucks and SUVs.

BTW, Blkpresident you need to get out more. Jane Fonda has endorsed Obama so you need to Google some other wingnut to harp on Clinton.

Good idea, Buckwheat! That''s what we really need, another tax. What an idiot.

[blkpresident]

Hillary-Steinem ''08?

Wonder who these broads would tap as Secretary of Defense, Jane Fonda? Please don''t let this happen Indiana and North Carolina. Vote smart.

bgwinnet--I don''''t think Hitler faked his death...''''heard of Operation AJAX...Kermit Roosevelt & friends.

The friends were namely MI6, ha ha. What is so ironic,is that it was over oil too then!

[prinzowhales]

What have any of these Demopublicans done about gas prices?...What did they do about health care costs?... What did they do about the lying of the nation into the war?...What did they do about the $1.7 trillion missing from DoD accounts noted by Rumsfeld on 9-10-01? Nothing! They smile...they scold...they pose...and they roll over like dogs so that the Oligarchs can scratch their mangy bellies!

bgwinnet--I don''t think Hitler faked his death...''heard of Operation AJAX...Kermit Roosevelt & friends.

[bgwinnett]

bgwinnett--Operation Northwood.

Bingo. I forgot the name though, I saw a program on Discovery about it a few years back.Further question''s; Do you think that Hitler faked his death? Ever heard of Operation Ajax too? IWOGEIN rightly alluded to it the other day as the main precursor of the Iranian revolution.

[enlightened-]

And what has the Great (not) Obama done for gas prices? He''s great at TALK. Now he''ll wait for one of the other candidates to come up with a solution, and then he''ll "solve" the problem by copying their solution days later. What a Joke this guy is...

[prinzowhales]

bgwinnett--Operation Northwood.

Oil was $20/barrel when the Oil President stole the presidency and it''s now almost $120/barrel. Obviously, this must be someone else''s fault.

[bgwinnett]

Prinzowhales- Have you heard of the Kennedy era US government plan for 9/11 like conspiracy to happen during the Cuban Missile crisis, where they would stage the shooting down of US Airliners by the Cubans, and use it as an excuse to declare war?

[sosoe-2009]

You wouldn''t be interested in job at the national inquirer would you?

Hey, I know the truth hurts!! That is the only response you could come up with!! You --can''t--handle---the ---truth!!! I KNOW my s### on Hell-ery! I write FACTS!! Not lies, like your candidate!

HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING!!!

Don''t forget to go to michaelmoore.com to read how the Clinton''s INVITED REV JEREMIAH WRIGHT to the Oval Office for "spiritual conseling" when "Slick Willie" CHEATED with Monica Lewinsky.

BagdadsHere--So, Iran has tanked the dollar, increased the price of gas and made the oil companies site supply concerns...how''d they do it?...mesmerism?
And! They are also busy beaming arms across the border into Iraq to use against Americans...they must be as "magic" as those seven Arabs who survived the suicide hijackings on 9-11 that they were accused of carrying out.
