Comments on: Clinton: I'm not listening to economists on gas tax holiday http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/04/clinton-im-listening-to-economists-on-gas-tax-holiday/ All politics, all the time Tue, 22 Dec 2009 17:07:18 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Bill http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/04/clinton-im-listening-to-economists-on-gas-tax-holiday/#comment-1015922 Bill Sun, 04 May 2008 21:28:17 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=6882#comment-1015922 I hope voters can look at the long term solutions. The NAFTA trade deal that the Clinton's pushed through has taken decent paying jobs from workers. Hillary likes to sway uninformed voters with her " I've got a deal for you" schemes that she calls solutions. I don't respect anyone who will ship my job overseas, and then offer me handouts that will a get her votes, but make the situation worse. She wants votes NOW. She doesn't care about 3 months from now when this trick doesn't work. Hillary fished in a lot of people with her lies about what Obama meant when speaking of small towns,bitter, guns, religion, etc.Hillary got you to react...stick your pride in your back pocket, she got you to get angry, and say "nobodys telling me that i'm bitter, etc", and you voted for someone who really is an elitist, and never worried about a job, money, in her life. Wake up... Obama tells the truth, and knows more about how the everyday person lives. Do you really believe that Hillary knows anything about the lives us working people? Don't let someone disrespect you this way. Obama is the friend of working stiffs. Has Hillary made your life better during her 35 years, of getting up, and going out to help someone?

This would provide all of us with some economic relief, if only for a short period. Senator Clinton has recently received opposition by Obama , while on the campaign trail ,over her proposal. Meanwhile, the Obamas have reported a yearly income of over 4 million dollars and I'm sure that the 18 cents per gallon doesn't sound much like help to them, but Americans can use all the help they can get. My husband commutes 150 miles per day to his job and a few cents a gallon in savings can add up quickly when you are forced to drive long distances to work. Senator Obama is quick to criticize the opposing candidates proposals, but doesn't seem to have any of his own.......

Read in between the lines in her responses, you will see the clear message of "let us use this gimmick to win election thereafter, we can revert to the status quo". If mrs Clinton can say her policy on the gas cut has no known economic backing, then it is most unfortunate that America may be going back to the dark ages when people lead by wishful thinking without a clear vision of what they want to achieve and how they want to achieve such things. I think the American public deserve a better deal; a leader who will tell them the truth at all times is what they need.

"John McCain started –he made the proposal. Then Hillary Clinton said, ‘Me too,'" Obama said just now in Winston-Salem, NC. "It would last for three months and it would save you, on average, half a tank of gas," he said. "That’s what Senator Clinton and Senator McCain are proposing to deal with the gas crisis. $25 to $30. Half a tank of gas." "This is the problem with Washington. We are facing a situation where oil prices could hit $200 a barrel. Oil companies like Shell and BP just reported record profits for the quarter. And we're arguing over a gimmick to save you half a tank of gas over the course of the entire summer so that everyone in Washington can pat themselves on the back and say that they did something," he said. "This isn't an idea designed to get you through the summer, it's an idea designed to get them through an election," he said, probably a true statement.

According to the polls very few people think she is truthfull or trustworthy. If her lie about being shot at by snippers wasn't enough for people to stop voting for her, this latest stunt concerning the cost of gas, certainly should be the proof that she isn't capable of telling the truth anymore than Bush is. I don't know why anyone wants to put someone in the white house that has told one whooper after another. The fact that she is even a canidate is troubling enough, but the fact that people think having another person is charge of our country that has told lie after lie during her campaign is really scary.

I challange her to come up with one benefical plan and maybe she'd be the front runner as she hoped to be. A little known Senator from Illinos is going to take her reserved seat in the oval office and there is nothing that she can say or do about it. The american people have spoken. Her ride is coming to an end and it's time to exit. Give it up Hillary, she'll say anything to get elected at this moment.
