Campaign '08: Barack Obama plans to lower our standard of living to fight climate change and make the world love us. The last time you may be able to drive your SUV may be to an Obama rally.
"For him to come to Oregon as an environmental president, but his big strategy is to do more drilling and to have a gas-tax holiday for three months, that's a phony solution," Obama said.
Well, increasing domestic drilling and lowering taxes, even temporarily, doesn't sound too bad to us. Obama may prefer having a home where the caribou roam. But McCain's plan is better than being the only industrialized nation putting expensive oil into the ground instead of taking it out while burning food in the form of corn-based ethanol in our gas tanks.
Obama's support of ethanol subsidies, which McCain opposes, and opposition to domestic oil production contribute to the rising price of both food and fuel both here and abroad. But Obama has even bigger ideas, such as repealing the Industrial Revolution.
"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times . . . and then just expect that other countries are going to say, 'OK,' " Obama said. "That's not leadership. That's not going to happen."

at the risk of being redundant, “The Audacity of Malaise.”
Yeah, apparantly we gota check with China if we can keep our thermostats at 72 degrees year round......
Spoken like a true dictator.
The Audacity of all this Audacity
Socialists never want this country to excell at anything.Makes their socialist systems in places like Europe look bad.So the plan is to at least drag this country down to that level.
Good grief,what a picture.Makes me want to hold a Cross in front of myself.
Get rid of your 1.6 million dollar home and ride in a tuk tuk and then maybe we’ll talk you arrogant gasbag.
If Obama gets in Carter will look like Reagan .....
Most of the world is free because of us and we have bailed some countries out of trouble time and time again.
America is lavish because she deserves it. We are the shining city on the hill. Americans who fought and died for others, are interred in the soil of many nations.
If we diminish, so does the rest of the world.
Both of the Obamas seem so, what is the word...ah! yes, “bitter”.
WHAT YOU TALKIN ABOUT WILLIS?
Hey Obama! Your wife is a nasty, ungrateful, angry snot.
And a first class whiner.
“For him to come to Oregon as an environmental president, but his big strategy is to do more drilling and to have a gas-tax holiday for three months, that’s a phony solution,” Obama said.
This guy is a lot of talk.
Barack, I'm gonna kick your ass.
Obama is talking about taking Reagan's shining city on the hill and turning it into a cardboard shack next to a stinking mudhole.
We should follow Brazil’s example and make ethanol from sugarcane, not corn. Sugarcane grows like a weed and by increasing production, “sugarcane farmers” can make money and we can have all the ethanol we need.
