Whats happening to this country, now that obama is running it?
ByHes trying to tax the upper class more heavily, which is stupid, because they worked hard to get where they are. They shouldn’t loose that hard earned money because obama wants them too.
And now he is trying to use government run health-care? Has he seen what happened to canada with their government health-care? I read an article online about this woman who lived in canada, she developed a brain tumor and was told she had a 6 month wait before she could be treated. WTF? Then she came down to the U.S, and we took her in immediately and removed it. We have millions more people than canada does, so whats gonna happen if we get hurt badly? Are they gonna put us on hold?
Also, my dad just told me that they are trying to pass government run thermostats in our homes, to cut down on a/c electricity costs. And if you run ur a/c too long or set the Temperature too low, it shuts off the a/c. that is messed up. You should be able to keep your house at what ever Temperature you want. Especially if you are an elder, or have a condition where you cant be exposed to certain amounts of heat.
Finally, whats with him and trying to bann SUV’s? They do use a little more gas then desired, but they are needed for people who own boats, or trailers, or for large families. If we want an SUV, we should be able to buy one. He already banned Hummers from being made because they arent fuel efficient enough. he is such a hipocrit. Gee, I wonder how much gas he uses when he needs to fill up his 9 mile to the gallon stretch limo he uses when he travels ANYWHERE. Or using crap loads of fuel to fill up his air force 1 air plane. And by 2011, he is going to pass a law that states all cars being made must achieve over 30 something gallons to the mile. Well, that only eliminates 60 percent of all car dealerships.
Dont get me wrong, i am for saving the world. I do my share with going green. I recycle more then anyone I have ever met. Our electric bill is only 60.00 dollars per month as opposed to our friends whos bill is over 500.00 dollars per month. But Obama is just moving to fast with this going green.
Yes, Daniel K understands what im trying to say

ALL Obama is trying to DO- is “catch up” on all the stuff that Bush DIDN’T- when he was President. And THAT Matters- because in the 8 years He did nothing but jerk Our Country around in Iraq- While the REST of the World rolled PASSED Us- in Science, Medicine, Health Care, the Environment, & you NAME it… And THAT’s one of the Reasons why Our Economy all but COLLAPSED last year… Bush’s “Humpty Dumpty” fell off the “Wall…” – And now Obama is trying to put the Pieces of Our Country BACK Together again… And the LONGER this takes- the MORE people will suffer…

The upper class earn more than the lower class, and therefore can stand to lose a few more dollars. Who do you suggest we get the money from, the poor cause they’re so lazy? How about the guy who only makes 20 grand a year has to give half it up, to motivate him? Please, most of the country is poor, the only people affected by this so much earn over 250k a year,from what “joe the plumber” said. How many plumbers do you know who make 250,000+ a year?
Canada’s health care isn’t too bad, I live there so I know. For every horror story there are like 50,000 good stories, also in canada, you don’t have to worry about a corporation cutting you off from your health care. The waiting lines are shorter in the states, only cause poor people can’t afford health care.
Don’t know about the thermostats.
They aren’t going to ban SUV’s. They are increasing the fuel economy requirements. The car companies are going to moan about how its impossible, cause its cheaper to keep the status quo than reinvent the wheel, so to speak. He didn’t ban Hummers, don’t know what you got that from. The Hummer H1 was discontinued under the Bush administration when they got tough on diesels. Hummer is dying now due to fuel concerns. I agree that some people do need light trucks and SUV’s to pull trailers and whatnot, but for every 1 that does need the SUV, there’s got to be 20 that don’t. I don’t think all cars have to achieve the requirement, just the corporate average has to be over a certain MPG. It is pretty easy to meet those requirements, lighten the cars. Lighter cars need a smaller engine, which burns less gas. A 1980 something honda CRX with technology that was not cutting edge (no hybrid, etc.) achieved a high fuel economy number because it was light and had a small engine ( I forget the number, but its 3mpg less than a 2010 prius).

You forgot the fact that ANYTIME Obama travels, he has a motorcade of the very SUV’s he’s trying to get rid of. Not to mention the countless police cars and like you said his 3 tank-like limo. A motorcade of Prius’s wouldn’t look too threatning.
Also, he doesn’t drive to the airport, he has 3 heilocopters take him, 2 are decoys. And he has 28 of them on reserve at $400 million EACH!
