Obama ratchets up ad war on gas tax holiday

I wish he would mention the 300k jobs that would be lost by pulling 3 billion a month from the highway fund. All for a half a tank of gas. The wind profits tax will take time even if it passes Congress, which is tough. Hillary Clinton another George Bush. Will give you a shiney nickle, while raising your rent.

Neither Hillary or McCain wear flag pins on their lapels.

Hillary has been knowingly married to a lying, philandering skirt chaser for 33 years.

McCain is on his second marriage to a woman he dated while still married to his first wife.

John McCain actively sought the endorsement of John Hagee, a war mongering, racist, radical right wing preacher who's known for his fiery rhetoric and has publicly called the Catholic church "the great wh*re".

Hillary and Bill have earned over $100 million in the last 10 years, not counting 2007.

McCain is married to a woman estimated to be worth over $100 million.

McCain's wife Cindy will not release her tax returns.

McCain uses his wife's private jet in violation of his own campaign finance law.

McCain admits he understands little about the economy, continually gaffs on foreign policy.

Hillary grossly inflates her participation in her husband's administration.

Hillary lies on Bosnia sniper fire.

Food for thought.

It 's absolutely a case of pandering by Hillary to gain votes. What will that amount of savings do to someone like me? I find it even more insulting than Bush's tax relief which is sad. I do think Obama is on to the real deal. He will make a great President. We do not need someone like Hillary who is so divisive. Please let' us stop the madness and think about what strategies we need to employ to send McCain flying.

The way these candidates debate the intricate details of their policy proposals is infuriating to me. Gas taxes, healthcare, taxes, all have one thing in common: no president can simply go to Washington and make these things happen. It doesn't work that way. It's all about compromise, and no candidate can go around promising all of these detailed programs and seriously believe that they will turn out the way they say.

Not only that, but in this case Clinton is arguing for a gas tax holiday that would end 2 months BEFORE the election and 4 months BEFORE the next president takes office. So, as president is she going to send everyone rebate checks for the gas taxes they paid the summer before? If she's serious about it now, why no legislation introduced in the senate? I don't get it. Oh, that's right, because it's politically infeasible, fiscally irresponsible, and in all other ways an awful idea.

I've come to the conclusion that Obama's political rhetoric, while sometimes abstract, is actually perfectly appropriate for a presidential candidate. The president doesn't have to write every word of a bill, that's the legislature's job. The president's job is to have strong policy ideas, to have the leadership to unite conflicting interests and broker compromise, and to have the integrity to represent our nation to the world.

All Obama has to do is show pictures of that bridge that went down in Minnesota, remind people that gas taxes pay for upkeep on roads and bridges then ask how much this tax holiday will really cost. Is there a holiday from safety? Are you really willing to risk your life for a dollar a day? She will get hammered from that. What can she say, oh I will get it later from a windfall profit tax, meanwhile hope that bridge holds up?

I think that all politicians are the same; some just know how to play the game better. The mere fact that people are willing to allow another lying Clinton into Washington is hair-raising and after we all suffered a 9/11 there are those willing to elect a President who has connections with a guy like Wright and wishes to communicate and have relationships with leaders in camel countries. Its these camels who are the fault of our fuel prices. I don't necessarily think McCain is the right choice, but we have no other option.
