Obama that the reason for our anger is the rapid increase in prices, not the prices themselves.

So as gasoline prices rise, we shall see $4 gasoline soon again.

You can bet on higher gas prices soon. obama is bankrupting oil and energy companies as we speak with tax increases. He is forcing oil companies to fund clean energy startups. Any tax credits oil companies received for exploring or for updating refineries for government mandates are going to be gone. obama said he would bankrupt coal companies but he is starting with oil companies first. They don't need bailouts so tax them to death is obama's way to their destruction.

obama said he would redistribute wealth. He didn't say he would destroy livelihoods and incomes for hard working Americans and corporations. I have never read at any time in my life that government could or would destroy a corporation to fund one more to their liking. And as it appears any new jobs created will only go to Unions or minorities.

And Californians have this idiot saying we need a fuel tax on top of the fuel taxes we already pay. Where do these politicians get the nerve to speak for citizens when they never asked?! If they say it enough it becomes true. Thank Bill Clinton for that political ploy.

“There are so many innovative ways to use the tax code to get private investors involved in this,” he asserted. “The American people aren’t against spending; they’re against spending they can’t see.”

Schwarzenegger said that one option for financing infrastructure projects would be a fuel tax of some sort.

“I think one has to look at it,” he said of the taxes. “But I think the important thing is that there is a willingness among the people to pay for it.”

Will $4.00 per gallon gas wake up these fools that thought the chosen one was going to solve this problem.
