You didn build that !

Not just Americans, don't forget the physician that obtained the DNA evidence that he threw under the bus by leaking the story.

Joe, Obama has a funny way to do that because he is still out there proposing new spending. I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today is the democrat way. Remember when Regan traded amnesty for border security. The amnesty happened but the borders where forgotten after the dems got there part of the deal. Obama will not cut the deficit because it is not in his nature. Even if he gets his new revenue source he will go out and spend it on some new crisis. For Obama "restraint" is something the government mandates in cars, not a fiscal policy.

Well Joe what I have seen him do is quadrupled our deficit spending. If he cuts that in half that still means he has doubled it at the end of the day. This is what he does. Lets talk in January at the end of his 1st term and see if it is cut in half. Only then will it be what he does.

I call it a balanced approach to deficit reduction. If there were a real republican left in washington it would stand.

So this goes into effect in Sept or October and cuts it overnight? It may be a law on the books but as I read it we are still 15, almost 16 trillion in debt. Since his term ends in November, or ok January that cut is going to have to be powerful to get it in 1/2 by then. That is some balancing act.

Bush = BAAAAAAD

Obama = GOOOOOOD

Seemed self explanitory to me.

If I had to guess I'd say Romney = BAAAAAD /   OBAMA = GOOOOOD

How can you say there is not one benefit to high prices of fuel?
Only the bad effects can be spoken of?

Is it really appropriate to insinuate whatever the commentator is trying to insinuate about Obama when Obamas logic is pretty easy to see.

Here,
Gas prices are high.
People who buy gas at gas stations are hurting.

Gas prices are high.
People that produce gas are not hurting.
In fact, they see record prices almost monthly.


And,
Gas prices are high.
People who buy gas at gas stations are hurting.

Gas prices are high.
People that buy gas in volume on the markets, are not hurting.
   Because they speculate the cost increase, probably from insider information. Not probably, certainly.


And,
Gas prices are high.
People who buy gas at gas stations are hurting.
   In fact, it's actually hurting the economy.

Gas prices are high.
People the produce gas, don't really care about the economy.

In fact, they don't really care about the Earth either. Water lights on fire right out of the kitchen faucet all over the country now. That really is a trip considering how much water my family drinks from our faucet.

Do the people who buy gas at gas stations want lower prices.
Is a hybrid one way to go?

Saving 2,200 lives and 1,000 lives is a good thing.   Saving more would be greater, but those statements are the truth.




If I had to drive a gas guzzler, I do, but it doesn't get used for anything but it's intended use, pulling a boat, it's the price I chose to pay. I used to run several trucks for profit here in the USA, had to be trucks too, not hybrids. Hybrid trucks are out there, but not when I was in the market. Fuel prices go up, so does my bill to you.

I buy a hybrid truck, your bill still goes up, but at least that profit didn't go in the gas tank. Just follow the trail of hybrid production. Now we just need to figure out a way to not use the toxic batteries.


Burning fuel for pleasure and necessity is expensive. Obamas is not pocketing the oil money. If you do not like the idea of different transportation ideas, then what do you want Obama to do about it?   Intrude on the precisious private sector to manipulate the producers? Yeah, that's not going to happen, republicans and teahaddists hate that idea.

I think that video only highlights a problem we have right now, and not sure Obama is the man for the job, because buying a hybrid is only one part of the solution, convincing the rest of America we have a problem brewing is the hardest part and one he has yet to do.




Obamas not telling you to get rid of the biggest single gas user you have, your Correct Craft.
Don't you agree that Prisus and Volts are pretty good? Like in all around? Environmentally, and for the economy. Less so for the gas producers.

I love the part in the video where Obama asks about, Gas guzzling suv monster truck 8 mpg, and the guy in the audience says "Yeah" before the President is even finished, as if to say, " Hell yeah I do! It's the baddest in the entire neighborhood!"    He is proud of that.


THe title says hypocrisy, no doubt he is talking about Obama, but I thought he was on the same side of the issue on both clips. Whining alone about high prices is useless. What about the solution?

You're right how many dollars is %15 for tax years of say 2005-2010?
Whatever,   we are talking Romney here.

If you do not know where the money is, or all of it, how can there be 15%

Or in other words, %15 may or may not equal zero for Romney.






You'll probably think it's still more important to see Obamas grades.

Me.


But we are on to Medicare in a within a few posts I'd guess.



Romneys budget next.   Bwahhh !

Could he squirm any less than Ryan under Hume's questioning?
Not even possible.

Do you even know what that does to, nevermind.

How many tea party patriots does it take to change a lightbulb? Ten million and five: One to go to Wal-Mart and buy a lightbulb (and a gun because he’s going to the store anyway), one to scoff at global climate change, one to draw a rally poster making fun of Al Gore, one to complain about the socialist conspiracy to bring light to all Americans, one to change the bulb, and 10 million to sit in the dark even though the light is on.

Here is today's out of control government story.


EXCLUSIVE: State Department oversight of climate change spending abroad is a mess, watchdog reports

.....The audit report, issued last month by the State Department’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG), casts an unflattering spotlight on a relatively obscure branch of the State Department that supervises climate change spending, and depicts it as over-extended in its responsibilities, unstaffed in critical monitoring posts, and more concerned with spending money than in monitoring its effectiveness......

According to a State Department website, the U.S. has contributed some $5.1 billion in climate change funding to developing countries in 2010 and 2011 alone, with additional money still pouring forth in 2012.

These reports come out nearly every day. Imagine a local food shelf that was found to have 10% of its donations unaccounted for, and employees taking home all the steaks, leaving the hamburger for the patrons, and maybe sending some food to be resold at a local convenience store that was a friend of the organization. Would this food shelf survive? would people continue to donate? This is the type of stuff our government does with OUR money, but we don't have the choice to stop donating. There is an inherent obligation to the tax payers to spend our money well, and all the fraud and waste should be addressed before they ask for another penny.

I know how to save $15,000,000,000 of taxpayer money EVERY YEAR.

Federal lawmakers have used taxpayer's money to build and maintain the world's most expansive and expensive network of airports — 2,834 of them nationwide — with no scheduled passenger flights. Known as general-aviation airports, they operate separately from the 139 well-known commercial airports that handle almost all passenger flights.

In the first full accounting of the 28-year-old Airport Improvement Program, USA TODAY found that Congress has directed $15 billion to general-aviation airports, which typically are tucked on country roads and industrial byways.

That's a lot of money just to insure that wealthy airplane owners can bore holes in the sky on my tax dollars!
This $15,000,000,000 does not even include the tax dollars spent at the state, county, and city level.

Here is the bottom line taken directly from the DuPage County Airport Authority's year end statement which is available on the interweb.


Provide the appropriation for the primary government listed in the first row of the table below.

Name of Unit/Component

Dupage Airport Authority           12/31/11      

Total Appropriations      $41,119,975      

*How many full time employees are paid?      63
*How many part time employees are paid?      16
What is the total salary paid to all employees?      $2,849,252

*Do not include contractual employees.
            
    *Do not include funds such as: Joint Bridge, Permanent Road, Town Fund, Equipment, Water & Sewer, General Assistance, etc.

This is just one local airport that serves DuPage County in Illinois, and includes my home town of Glen Ellyn. The airport authority subsidizes the airplane owners in pursuit of their "hobby" to the tune of $42.69 for every resident, man, woman, and child, in DuPage County.

END THE SUBSIDIES, MAKE THE RICH AIRCRAFT OWNERS PAY FOR THEIR HOBBY.
Disclaimer: I am a former pilot and aircraft owner, and I based my Cessna at DuPage County Airport. Therefore I am guilty of using your tax dollars for my hobby. I sold the Cessna and quit flying in 2000.

John, I agree with you, if they are not collecting fees to cover the cost then get out. This of course goes for light rail and Amtrac also for the same reason.
