Lindsey 0 #35 August 7, 2008 Obama's vote doesn't count any more than yours does. Unless you don't really find it to be an important topic, I think it's a good idea to understand the philosophies of the person you're voting for. Whether they spoon feed it to you over the tv screen or you put a little effort into it yourself, the important thing is that you've educated yourself.-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

billvon 3,120 #37 August 7, 2008 >If you listened to him you would just think him and his wife were just >poor black kids on the streets? He was born in Hawaii while his parents were attending the University of Hawaii together, and he spent his early childhood in a small apartment in Hawaii. He never claimed that he was "a poor black kid on the street" but he also wasn't born to money. >I am just glad she is finally proud of her country. Are you glad McCain finally decided to love his country, as well? >And to think people would vote for that ignorant poor lieing fool. Yep. If you get all your information from Rush Limbaugh, you almost certainly will not. One of the biggest problems Obama faces is that he doesn't think (or speak) in three second sound bites; you have to spend more than a few seconds reading to understand where he's coming from. And that is far beyond the attention span of many. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

idrankwhat 0 #41 August 7, 2008 Quote He is no more smarter than the average if he does not have a speech (paper) in front of him. His energy comments???? You mean that if everybody in the US would inflate their tires to the correct PSI, it would fix our energy problem??? He knows not a damn thing about energy! You can crazy emote if it makes you feel better but inflating your tires to near the upper limit, getting a tune up and slowing down are three proven ways to reduce your fuel consumption. It uses current technology and will have an immediate impact on gasoline reserves. And he never claimed that it would "fix" our energy problem. It will help. And it's a much more effective way of getting money in your pocket than simply opening up more leases so that the oil companies can warehouse them. So yes, his proposal is smarter and more honest.

That has only the slightest efect on the average check book! Keep dreaming! In case you didnt know oil companys are not warehousing oil as this moment! that is a stupid coment. With oil prices the way they are they are selling every drop of oil they have!
