In other words, people recognize that republicants are the problem with Congress. Where's the Dem plan to solve high energy prices again? I know it is not as dynamic as Senator McCain's gas tax holiday and I know that Senator Obama has kept his opinions the same, instead of Senator McCain's earlier position about what a bad idea and how long it will take to see any results and the small impact increased domestic drilling would have on our economy as he said repeatedly in May and yet last week he reversed himself on ALL of his prior positions concerning domestic drilling (geez, Senator McCain did manage to keep to one policy for a whole month!) But if you are really interested in Senator Obama's plan then look he http://www.barackobama.com/issues/energy/. There is little to nothing there that will lower energy costs. In fact, things like "cap and trade" will likely increase the costs. The whole link you cited has little in the way of specifics (other than they plan to spend a lot of money). I'll ask again: where's the Dem plan to solve high energy prices again? Talking won't improve things. One must actually put something specific forth. Heck, the republicant plan was to jawbone OPEC and the Saudis. How well did that work? Senator Obama's plan was to stop throwing good money after bad. Giving oil companies tax breaks and subsidies while they were enjoying record profits did not do what republicants told us it would do either. Invading Iraq also opened up a lot of cheap oil to us, did it not? Senator Obama has repeatedly called for spending those tax breaks and subsidies on the next generations of energy sources and not on dumping more money down the oil wells. I understand that you do not like his answers as they do not provide the quick fix hat no one has to offer. I also suspect that you do not take into account that our government's borrowing policies of the last 7 years, international inflation, means that the price of that gallon of gas that cost ~$1.40 when president Bush took office, should cost nearly $3.00 in today's devalued dollars. You may be a little young to remember or understand what it is like but you do not want to see deflation cause a gallon of gas return to $1.40. Mike |

All he seems to talk about are things that will happen some day yet we can't drill in Anwar because it would supposedly take ten yers to get the oil. |

America's long national nightmare is over. The neocon is on the verge of inevitable extinction. Next year, you'll only be able to find them in Paraguay. Unfortunately, the neocons have amongst their members most of the wealthiest people in America. These wealthy people have over the years learned how to manipulate the masses into voting against their own best interest. Remember how union members voted for Reagan? Remember how many of the poor vote for Republicans? The wealthy will gain control of the masses one way or another. |

Apparently it did work although it's far too early to measure any results. http://money.cnn.com/2008/06/22/news...n=money_latest Compare the price of oil and gasoline today to it's price January 20, 2001. Senator Obama's plan was to stop throwing good money after bad. Giving oil companies tax breaks and subsidies while they were enjoying record profits did not do what republicants told us it would do either. What did Republicans "tell" us that tax breaks and subsides would do? Make oil cheaper by making exploration and development less expensive for them. While you're at it, tell us what percent of a gallon of gas goes to oil company profits. How does this compare to other products. I don't have any problems with their profits or margins, but I do have a problem with tax breaks and subsidies for a healthy, vibrant and thriving industry. Invading Iraq also opened up a lot of cheap oil to us, did it not? Gotta love libs. Did we "invade" Iraq for "cheap oil prices" or "higher prices"? Iraq's oil production should be returning to 2002 levels this year. That should help negate the shortfall in global production caused by the invasion. Senator Obama has repeatedly called for spending those tax breaks and subsidies on the next generations of energy sources and not on dumping more money down the oil wells.

All he seems to talk about are things that will happen some day yet we can't drill in Anwar because it would supposedly take ten yers to get the oil. The Republicans had their chance to do something about our energy dependence when Reagan was President. Too bad he de funded Carter's alternate energy support. Swill -- Gobama! Gobama! Gobama! Gobama! |
