MD asked in Politics & GovernmentElections · 1 decade ago

What exactly has Obama proposed that he'd change?

I know he's for legalizing medical marijuana, and for lowering gas prices, but how is he going to lower gas prices without us overusing it and running out? So if any one could answer these two questions for me I MAY be swayed.

    Obama's CHANGEs ... will be devastating for America !!!!

    I would say that ... IF ... he is elected ... THE President of THE United States of America ... WE ARE ALL DOOMED !!!

    I ... have no problem voting for a person - black, female, white, etc. - as long as that person is the BEST candidate for the position of THE President of THE United States of America !!!

    HOWEVER ... Obama is NOT the Best person to be THE President of THE United States of America.

    Hillary is Pro-American enough to try to do what is best for the country.

    Obama is ANTI-American enough to TAX US to HELP the REST OF THE WORLD ... BEFORE he takes care of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !!!

    Well ... He will NOT stop at taxing the rich !!!

    How do you think that he is planning on financing his Global Poverty ACT ??? ... Part of that is turning our sovereignty over to the United Nations !!!!

    .

    CHANGE is ALL that you will get back from the Socialist/Communist/Liberal Democrats, when they TAKE your hard earned paycheck from you to give it to able bodied people, "FEEDERS", who do NOT want to get off of their butts and actually get a job !! Our wonderful government hand-out programs !!

    Please, TRY to HOPE in one hand and SPIT in the other hand!

    Which one is filling up the fastest ??

    .

    We need to make sure that the person that represents AMERICA is PRO-AMERICA !!!

    WE NEED to make sure that EVERY man, woman, and child, KNOW how ANTI-AMERICAN Obama and his Reverend(S) ARE !!!

    Would a CONTINUAL 20 years of "second hand smoke" have a negative affect on the other people in the area ??

    Would a CONTINUAL 20 years of "Anti-American Preachings" have a negative affect on the other people in the area ??

    John F. Kennedy, a Democrat, was sworn in as the 35th President of THE United States of America, at noon on January 20, 1961. In his inaugural address he spoke of the NEED for ALL Americans to be ACTIVE CITIZENS, famously saying, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

    Please NOTICE that it said DEMOCRAT - NOT Socialist and / or Communist Democrat !!

    It means this country is only as strong as the people in it. It means get off your a$$ and do something!!!

    .

    The Democratic Elite make the rules and then they change them for their convenience !!

    The Elite Democrats feel like THEY know better than YOU who would be the best person to run the country !!!

    By the People and For the People !!!

    .

    OBAMA wants to END WORLD POVERTY on YOUR NICKEL AND SURRENDER THE United States to THE United Nations.

    Please, search the ... Global Poverty Act (S.2433) ... it is being sponsored by none other than Senator Barack Obama

    .

    Obama KNOWS ... TAXES .. TAXES .. AND .. MORE TAXES !!!

    He will NOT stop at taxing the rich !!!

    His followers just do not want to see, hear, and /or understand!!!

    .

    IF ... OBAMA was a WHITE man WITH the SAME LACK of Qualifications, HE would have been - L A U G H E D - out of the Nomination process in the BEGINNING !!!!

    The Followers of the Socialist / Communist / Liberal ... AND ... ANTI-American Nominee will NEVER accept that HE AND THEY CAN actually make mistakes and CAN be wrong !!!

    Obama Supporters do not want to see, hear, and / or understand the TRULY Intelligent Answers and / or Questions that are NOT - FOR - Obama !!!

    Governors have a hell of a lot more experience "managing" than ANY - JUNIOR - Senator.

    Obama did NOT even finish his FIRST TERM in office !!!

    .

  • Obama can't lower gas prices, but he does propose to make some changes that he can strongly help to bring about: shortening the war in Iraq, increasing coverage and reducing prices of health insurance, increasing respect for the US among other nations, who now pretty much all view us as crazy cowboys with a "stick em up or I'll shoot you" mentality.

    The most important thing about having a Democrat in the White House is the "perception" among the general masses that this is a good thing. This "perception" leads to more "confidence," people spend more, business thrives more, the stock market increases. A whole lot of the markets are due to "perception" and not "reality." When there's a Democrat in the White House, as with Bill Clinton, although he was an immoral person and "worst husband in the world winner hands down," the economy was so much better because people BELIEVED they were better off.

    I think it will be the same with Obama.

    The naive responses from the obama team are scarry as

    hell. They honestly don't have realistic clue on what happens.

    These young people honestly believe this jerk will do

    something he is totally incapable of doing.

    You have had some really good responses from common

    sense types that know the scam this empty suit is running.

    Time to set Obama up for the coming debates. No scripts

    No pre written questions. Plain talk. No puppeteers,.

    McCain can handle it. You may not like what he says, but

    what he says will be what you need to hear, Not what you

    want to hear.

    For your totally naive. President of the US does not have

    a thing to do with Fuel prices. Commodity brokers do.

    Supply and Demand. that is the bouncing ball.

    Returning Iraq troops. Do we stop paying our armed forces

    when they are not in harms way,,,, answer NO. they get the

    same a little more if there in harms way, So what is he saving

    there. Please children grow a brain, and read what the reality

    of things are. Before you skip down the yellow brick road

    with the pied piper.

    He says he will lower gas prices, but if he signs the Tokyo/Kyoto treaty, it will actually raise our gas prices. The president CANNOT change gas prices, they are based on the elementary principles of Supply and demand, and monopolistic organizations like OPEC. Only Congress can take actions to change gas regulations and oil intake. Legalizing medical marijuana is not a bad thing, but can easily be taken advantage of when corrupt individuals get their hands on it. He wants to start Universal health care, but that will lower our standard of hospitals and doctor's offices.

    Let me show you Obama's change to gas prices.

    More tax on oil companies=gas costing less

    that tax does not come from the CEO's pay check This is the most basic of economic principle if you tax something more the price goes up

    Remember when the iceberg hit the Titanic it was a change for the people aboard

    The amount you have left of your check each week that will Change for sure. He plans to tax the oil companies more that will raise gas prices

    the only change he can make (maybe if the gop looses) is to raise the sh*i*t out of taxes.he CANNOT lower gas prices since he does not control the world price of oil. all you dumbbells that voted for him deserve every $$ you loose for buying into his bullshit !

    He cannot lower gas prices because we don't control it unless we start drilling in Alaska and the parks so we can FIND oil.

  • 1 decade ago

    He's for decrimilizing marajuana which means making the laws more weak about getting busted.

    As far as gas prices go, he wants to increase taxes the oil companys (Exxon, Shell, etc) that are making record profits and use that money to invest in more alternative energy research.
