This whole "plug-in car" idea of Obama's is just naive and ignorant.
Remember Bush Sr. going into the grocery store, and marveling about price scanners? The press had a field day, branding him as out of touch.
Fast forward to Obama, and the plug-in car lunacy.
Obama has promised over 150 million mythical Hybrid Plug-in cars to be on the road by 2015. The car does not exist today but is in development. The car is not expected to go into production until 2010-2011.
For one thing, much of the northeast's electricity is fueled by COAL!
Coal is one of the worst causes of pollution and greenhouse gases, and what he's naively proposing, is an increase in the use of it in order to power these "clean energy" vehicles.
All forms of energy affect something and we think the human race as the most valuable of all elements.
Secondly, it shows how out of touch he is with the ordinary citizen to think that most people in America are going to be ABLE to adopt these new vehicles in the $30-$50K range.
The facts are:
1. We need more oil found in America to reduce our independence on foreign oil. A simple observation
2. The more oil found here in America, and sold here in America, keeps American dollars in America's pockets. A simple observation
3. The more oil drilled for in America creates more jobs for America in America. A simple observation.
4. Alternative energy for transportation and other use is years away. I know of "no technology" that will replace fossil fuels for at least 20 yrs. A simple observation.
5. Oil and "plastics" go together. Where will we get all our "plastic" to provide feedstock for our chemical industries? Import it? A simple observation.
6. You can't just shut-down refining. Where will all the industry workers go to work? No Democrat plan for that. A simple observation.
Their are simply "No reason not to drill" in America. A simple observation.
This is 2008 not 1958.
Is he that out of touch that Obama does not realize that most cars today do not even require tune ups?
This man wants to be president and his energy policy is to put air in our tires, get tune ups, and well do not drive so much.
Oh wait, I forgot, now "limited" drilling is acceptable to him, NOW.
Now that 72% of the American Public is screaming, "DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW, and DRILL OFTEN!
Our final thoughts on Obama:
It's offensive to us that Obama tries to imply that if you don't agree with him...if you don't vote for him...you are a racist.
That's BULL-SHIT!
We've all worked over, for, and under people of all colors, and have no problems with race. So don't try to convince us or any other clear thinking American that we are racist just because we don't believe that Barack is "the One."
What we predicted months ago has finally come to pass. The more voters learn about Obama, the less they are inclined to vote for him.
While he's a charming guy with great oratory skills, he's not the One.
Voters in middle-America are beginning to realize that Obama neither understands nor shares their values.
* If he did, he would not have joined Trinity Church or befriended a race-baiter like Rev. Wright.
* His first political fundraiser would not have been held at the home of domestic terrorists William Ayers and Bernadette Dorn.
* He would have rejected political contributions and a special land deal from Tony Rezko, a man convicted of bribing politicians.
* He would not have told wealthy liberals in San Francisco that small town Americans are bigots who cling to religion and guns,
* He would not defend people who disparage our country.
* He would prefer a winning war strategy to surrender and defeat.
* Obama's recent racist remarks: "What they're going to try is make you scared of me. You know he's not patriotic enough. He's got a funny name. You know, he doesn't look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills you know. He's risky.
* Obama stated in 2007: He would never play the race card to win an election.
So who is the real racist..."Sweetie"?
