JOHNSTON, Iowa – In a recently publicized video from the Democratic primaries, Sen. Barack Obama said the government should drive energy bills up though "price signals" in order to force Americans into more environmentally friendly choices.

In the Nov. 9, 2007, interview on Iowa Public Television's "Iowa Press," Obama said Americans like driving SUVs and leaving the lights on, but since "it is undisputable that the climate is getting warmer," consumers would have to change their habits.

Sorry if this is a repeat, I ran a search and didn't find anything about it.

This guy would destroy the economy and the nation to remake it in his image. Anyone who considers not voting for McCain or voting third-party as a “protest”, THIS is what you have to look forward to. Or did ya’ll not learn your lessons in 2006?

[R0CK3T]

We have way to make you go GREEN..and you WILL like it!

So sayeth Obama and his Politburo of Obamatons.

People are going to have to learn the hard way I guess. Can’t wait to see the reaction when he proposes an increase in fuel taxes. Of course the media and elite opinion makers will think it’s a great idea and tell us to shut up and accept it for our own good.

Read my tagline. It neatly sums up my LOATHING of EnvironWackos and my love of chocolate.

Obama is a dangerous, ego-driven jerk.

[rvoitier]

McCain’s Research Ops Team ought to be lined up and shot.

“it is undisputable that the climate is getting warmer,”

Well moron, I’m disputing it! The facts will trump the hype.
Quit spewing the koolaid long enough to obtain some common
sense. It snowed here last week, just like it has for the last 50,000 years Hussein.
(p.s. I raised my tagline amount by 10%. This is goin’ to get
ugly)

[Infidel Puppy]

I have a “price signal” for, Obami...

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

hmmm - arrogant bastages.

I musta been asleep when Russia and China went green ...

[rollo tomasi]

McCain’s Research Ops Team ought to be lined up and shot.

Bump!!! This stuff would have been great debate material.

“obama; spike energy costs to make people go green”

government of the scu&bags, by the scu&bags and for the scu&bags...

IMHO

[Senator_Blutarski]

This should certainly help the economy and the “little guys”.

[jimfree]

He is and always has been a manipulator.

[yldstrk]

Bambi is big on the “force” aspect ....

[Dallas59]

He ain’t gonna last more than 18 months before he’s in the can.

Obama said Americans like driving SUVs and leaving the lights on

I've got news for Hussein - what I drive is none of his d*mn business. He needs to find out fast that we will take only so much!

[Upstate NY Guy]

Going Green = Nationalized Poverty

IMHO Marxism and Extreme Environmentalism are the twin ideological brothers that will lead the world into a massive economic depression and famine.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Can’t wait to see the reaction when he proposes an increase in fuel taxes.

If he does it "wright" there won't be much of an outcry, because he'll accompany it with fuel subsidies for most of his supporters. If you are productive, you'll get screwed coming and going. A few weeks back someone on FR posted a Lenin quote: "We will grind the bourgeoisie between the twin millstones of taxes and inflation."

To those in and around the commercial nuclear power business, the clear choice on Tuesday, 4Nov2008 are the Republican candidates for Congress, and particularly John McCain for President. The only politician who has been more outspoken than John McCain regarding new nuclear is Vice President Cheney. At stake are appointments to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the federal judges. Those judges will hear the suits filed by environmentalists and anti-development interests that seek to stop new nuclear power construction as well as shutdown existing plants like Vermont Yankee. Republicans in Congress and President Bush have managed to bring energy legislation that underpins the new nuclear projects in this country. That same legislation clears many hurdles to building the grid infrastructure. Leftist plans for wind turbines and other intermittent sources of electric power will make the power grid unreliable because the system is designed for steady base-load power. A nuclear build program will employ thousands. We see the proof commercial nuclear power is safe everyday. The record is clear, commercial nuclear power is one of the most successful industries in terms of any safety measure that can be made. The Republican politicians that have supported the nuclear industry deserve your support. John McCain believes in the goodness of the nuclear power industry. Barrack Obama still needs to be convinced it is safe.
