What has Obama accomplished that leads you to believe he can run this country?

i predict that japanese robots will become the new slave labor. they will replace all workers such that the lower classes, now jobless, will revolt and go to war with the robots. Terminator 2
 
Guess you missed this part

"In the first detailed analysis of the Barack Obama and John McCain tax plans, the Tax Policy Center has run their proposals through the Big Computer and discovered that their schemes are, well, painfully predictable. Each would raise the national debt by trillions of dollars....Obama, who casts himself as an out-of-the box, post-partisan politician, has put together a fairly conventional Democratic tax plan...He?d raise the national debt by a staggering $3.3 trillion over the next decade, and that includes more than $900 billion in promised revenue raisers that TPC could not verify."
 
Well, I'm not a fan, never voted Democrat and probably never will... but you are attempting to smear Obama and its bullshit.

He graduated from Harvard law school with a JD. Hes been elected to the Illinois senate THREE time, to the US senate once and taught mother fucking Constitutional law for 12 years at the University of Chicago's law school. That seems to be some decent accomplishments. If hes elected, I certainly hope his experience with Constitutional law can be applied to clean up the clusterfuck that Bush and his neocon fuck buddies leave behind.
 
I really enjoy these threads, your different personalities and different ways of looking at the same thing. We have some brilliant members here at O.T.

Let me beat the first dude's reply that decides to give me one of these
 
Yeah. Because it's a drilling moratorium that's stopping the drilling!
Release the moratorium and the oil will flow tomorrow, amirite?? Originally Posted by Karnejj

report “...contradicting the argument that more drilling means lower gasoline prices. There is simply no correlation between the two.” We don’t have enough oil to meet our demand.
The U.S. oil supply-demand balance is insurmountable. We have less than 2 percent of the world’s known reserves, yet use 25 percent of its oil. Even if we drilled off of every beach, and inside every national park, refuge, and forest, we could not produce enough oil to offset our growing demand. Oil companies have not utilized the leases they have now.
Why open up new areas to drilling when oil companies hold over 4,000 undeveloped leases in the western Gulf of Mexico? What’s more, the government already leases 44 million acres offshore, of which only 10.5 million—or one quarter—are producing oil or gas. ..... according to the EIA ... “because oil prices are determined on the international market…any impact on average wellhead prices is expected to be insignificant.”There isn’t enough drilling equipment.
Due to the high price of oil, existing drilling ships are “booked solid for the next five years,” and demand for deepwater rigs has driven up the price of such ships. Oil companies just don’t have the resources to explore oil fields in the OCS. We can’t refine the oil we would extract.
...refineries are already so stretched that last year, the United States had to import almost 150 million barrels of gasoline. The Wall Street Journal reported oil companies are not building new refineries because it would be bad for their bottom line. “Building a new refinery from scratch, Exxon believes, would be bad for long-term business.”
 
GWB spends with the fiscal responsibility of a trust fund baby. McCain isn't going to change any of that.

I'd prefer to cut a fuckload of gov't spending, a la Paul, Badnarik, and just about every other Libertarian in the country. But in lieu of that, when push comes to shove, I'd much rather Obama's plan to actually be responsible in his spending, and I'd much rather see the spending actually go to something useful.
 
Ask the oil companies .....
They say it's not profitable enough for them to build more rigs and lease more oil transports or build extra refineries.

In other words, they could give a shit less about any pain at the pump.


Hell ... this guy got a $400 million dollar retirement package. Why would he care?
 
Think about it, what have you done in the last seven months

He has not had a chance to re-invent the wheel yet. You have to give him some time. In the last seven months he took down The Clinton's which was suppose to be impossible. I give him an A++++++++++ for getting rid of the stank.

I answered your seven month question in my first, second and third sentence.
