Repetition NOT intentional….sorry bout that
Imagine if John McCain had whispered somewhere that he was willing to bankrupt a major industry? Would this declaration not immediately be front page news? Well, Barack Obama actually flat out told the San Francisco Chronicle (SF Gate) that he was willing to see the coal industry go bankrupt in a January 17, 2008 interview. The result? Nothing.

Jennifer asked:


power from, and also if he thinks that $4.00 a gallon for gas is cheap and he thinks it should be higher.

This coupled with increased taxes, I am not certain how we are suppose to survive?
We are not a wealthy family, about 40,000 a year and I am disabled. How will I feed my family, how will I be able to afford for my husband to get to work if the price of gas goes to $7.00 a gallon, and how will I be able to keep us warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

I am confused. It is one thing to vote for someone to make history, but another to vote for someone who is going to make history but taxing us into oblivion.

What are your thoughts?

What will the headlines on the paper be on Wednesday morning. Welcome to a new era of the 2nd great depression.
