There you go ladies and gentlemen. Barack Obama has let loosewith where he actually stands -- that is directly against you, theAmerican people.
You can listen to Rush talking about it here. He rightly draws the connectionto Jimmy Carter's policies.
Next, I suppose, Obama will advocate the maximum speed limit be55 mph again.
First, let's point out that he's full of it on this. This is oneof those statements that is not true, when you look into it, butthe Washington Post will never devote a front page story todebunking Obama on something like this.
Second, what Barack Obama precisely fails to mention is anythinghaving to do with lowering the price of a gallonof gasoline.
Consider Barack Obama's own ad, the transcript of whichis here.
Barack Obama thinks high gas prices deserve serious answers, anda serious plan: Crack down on oil speculators, raise mileagestandards and fast track alternative fuels.
These are not the answers of serious men.
We already know cracking down on oil speculators will have ade minimis impact on the price of oil. Why? Becausethey'll go overseas and play in the exact same market.
Raising mileage standards will take a long time to deploy anddoes nothing to increase supply.
Fast tracking alternative fuels? Like ethanol? We're alreadyartificially keeping that price high through import tariffs Obamadoes not want to reduce. And how the hell are else are we supposeto fill up our cars?
Seriously, and this is the central point of contentionyou cannot ignore Barack Obama offers exactlynothing to deal with the high price of gas by the gallon.Unless he advocates the federal government buying every American abrand new car that can accept his alternative fuels, he offers norelief.
Inflating your tires and getting a regular tune-up sounds morelike Obama's plan for ego maintenance than it does for helpingAmerican families.
