Obama Fights Back Against Idea He's Reason For High Gas Prices

“Only in politics do people greet bad news so enthusiastically,” Obama said. “You pay more, and they’re licking their chops? And you can bet that since it’s an election year, they’re already dusting off their three-point plans for $2 gas.”

~President Obama



When you see the glee in Republicans faces because Americans are hurting then something is wrong with that person. You even have people on this site using the quote ""Under my energy policy, electricity rates would necessarilly [sic] skyrocket." which is disingenuous at best. The actual quote is "Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket" but what's a misquote when you want to mislead people.



When Obama made that statement to the San Francisco Chronicle he was simply trying to explain there would be a sacrifice to get us on the track to more renewable energy. Regardless he has already dropped his support for "cap and trade" so it really makes the quote moot! In the end if you are going to decide your vote based on the false premise that the President can control the price of gas then you weren't going to vote for him anyway. The logic just doesn't fit. Wouldn't he lower gas prices so you would vote for him?

Chris Christie To Warren Buffett: 'Just Write A Check And Shut Up'

Christie is a symptom and possibly a very part of the problem with today's political discourse. There used to be a day when you could disagree with someone without being obnoxious. But Christie feels he needs to show his mettle by provoking peoples animosity towards their fictitious adversary. By doing so most people don't/won't stop to think that Warren Buffet is actually standing up for them.



People like Christie have infected their psyche to think you would vote for them because they are fiery and say things like you would say. We used to expect our leaders to show respect and have some form of decorum. Instead they say things in public like "shut up" despite the fact they are supposed to represent everyone and what our Constitution says. Where are the ethics complaints. The sad part is I don't see our Country getting back to the civil discourse we used to have and show. The end is nigh!

Virginia Ultrasound Bill Passes In House [UPDATE]

"Should a doctor determine that another form of ultrasound may be necessary to provide the necessary images and information that will be an issue for the doctor and the patient. The government will have no role in that medical decision,"



The Government has no "role" in any medical decision, period! That statement alone should be enough to make this law fail on Constitutional grounds. If not then that will be the final straw and there will be no turning back for our Country and way of life.

Mitt Romney: Obama Administration Has 'Fought Against Religion'

"Anne Frank, the Jewish girl whose diary and death in a Nazi concentrat­ion camp made her a symbol of the Holocaust, was allegedly baptized posthumous­ly Saturday by a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to whistleblo­wer Helen Radkey, a former member of the church."

It seems to me his "religion" is pushing to fight with the Jewish faith. It takes balls to make the comment he has made against our President yet his faith is pulling stunts like this. The ultimate disrespect for another persons faith. Wow!

Rick Santorum-Linked Hospital Chain Saw Suicide Attempts, Abuse, And Loss Of Parents' Rights

"In top-down, government run systems, patients become commoditie­s, and their value is based on their usefulness to society," Santorum elaborated to The Huffington Post. "Often times, those with special needs are not viewed as 'useful' by society's standards -- and far too many like our little girl have been forced to receive inadequate care and in many instances no care at all."



"We need a health care system that provides consumers the best choices for the best care available. These choices should not be left in the hands of bureaucrat­s to judge an individual­'s value. Instead we should place that choice in the hands of the consumer -- the children and the parents -- who can make the best choices for their individual circumstan­ce."

__________­__________­__________­__________­__________­__________



He claims in "governmen­t run systems, patients become commoditie­s" and then out of the other side of his mouth, or some other orifice, says "we should place that choice in the hands of the consumer"!­?



WTF? do people really listen to what he says or are they too busy raising their hands in the air, or wallet, praising him. These are the same people who claimed we thought Obama was the "Messiah". This man is sick. We all thought - she whose name I will not speak - had issues and rightfully so but what is trailing behind her in the rest of the clown car parade plainly need help. Maybe it's time we lengthen the bus!
