NASHUA, N.H. - (AP) -- President Barack Obama, turning his political sights on snowy New Hampshire, demanded that Congress eliminate oil and gas company subsidies that he called an outrageous government "giveaway." Though politically a long shot, the White House believes the idea resonates at a time of high gasoline prices.
"Let's put every single member of Congress on record: you can stand with oil companies or you can stand up for the American people," Obama said.
The president also said GOP charges that his policies are driving up gas prices won't pass "a political bull-detector" test and pointed to a chart that showed decreasing U.S. dependence on foreign oil. His remarks came as retail gasoline prices rose Thursday to a national average of $3.74 per gallon.

Well, yes
But, on the additional tax revenue will reduce the deficit.
I think ALL subsidies should eliminated and the government should stop picking winners and losers.
LOL... I do not read any of your posts, so you’re wasting your time.
You were wrong on Bachmann, you were wrong on Cain and now you’re wrong on Saintorum.
I tried to be nice to you during the Cain debates, but you returned my gesture with further insults. You have absolutely no credibility with me.
So, post your tripe to someone else.

Wow, what a great economic plan!! At a time when the country is in an Obamao-inspired recession and gas prices are skyrocketing due to zero's anti-gas "green energy" policies, he thinks that this will make him a shoe-in for a second term!!???

Sure. The best way to get more oil is make it more expensive to drill a well.
Makes all the sense in the world, doesn't it?
I suspect that you know just as much about courage as you do about common sense..... LMAO @ you
