Don’t Laugh. Paris Is Right.

Howard - get a clue. While I cannot believe I am typing this sentence, Paris Hilton's "ad" described Obama's energy plan, the same one as being proposed by the gang of ten. Still, the media are responsible for allowing the fiction to continue that drilling will have ANY effect on oil, when even Bush's own department of energy says NO oil will be in the market from offshore for 10 years. You are guilty of journalistic malpractice by not reporting this

I swear to god she'd make a better president than either one of the bastards.

Go Paris!

After all the primary excitement and talk of "change," it has been business as usual with the name calling.

We need to do everything to get this country into an independent enegry mode. Neuclear, oil, wind, solor and whatever we can do. However, Obama is dead wrong to think that checking the air in our tires and
getting tune ups, that most cars do not have anymore, will save as much as we could drill. I think Obama is having space soup for lunch too much.

OCS drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts (not the Gulf) is an expression of (1) our inability to face up to the crisis or (2) move on to the real solutions. Obama is at least leveling about this. McCain is not, instead mindlessly repeating his "drill here, drill now' mantra as if the ban on OCS drilling were the cause of US oil dependency and massive imports of oil.

Ok. Senator Obama has expressed alternative energies for some time now-
wind, solar, hybrid fuels and development of alternative energy systems to augment with oil- with oil!!!
Look at his voting record that is if you can read!
The truth is out but the 75% are not listening- we cannot drill our way out of the current mess. Not enough oil infrastructure- oil rigs, refineries, oil tankers etc. The truth is we need to diversify and break the oil monopoly that is choking our nation! Democracies need competition to thrive you should know this and should also know that monopolies kill democracy!

The distinction is clear. Obama is progressive,McCain is a Washington insider- centralized politics!
Remember most you Bushies gave us the same old song and dance for 2000 and 2004 and he turned out to be the worst president in modern day history! And now some of you want to vote for his GOP brother?

Obama isn't a good celebrity because he's not inclusive enough. Just like his arguing with John McCain's "let's do everything" energy policy, where we drill offshore for oil, invest in renewable energy, conserve and build nuclear power plants. Obama just wants what is in his comfort zone.

Paris Hilton has a better energy policy, a better celebrity personality and, despite what Maureen Dowd says, Paris Hilton is hot but Obama is not.

As a celebrity, as a policy leader, as a man planning a party (convention), Obama's not inclusive, he's divisive and he comes off more like a controlling narcissist than a leader.

As a celebrity and a prospective leader, Obama could be more "Hiltonian".

The writer is wrong. If we increase oil production, we will drop the conservation approach which we can control a lot more than we can control production. Increasing domestic oil production will be a blip of that which is produced in the world. Reducing what we buy reduces sending trillions of $ to the terrorists, lowers our costs, supports non-oil industiees like those developing non-gasoline cars, wind power, geothermal power, etc. The more oil we produce the deeper the hole will be that we are digging.

Expat2000 made some great points but he forgot about one thing. I do not have to own a cell phone , a computer and that is why I have no credit card debt. I have not found a good way to get to the store and work without a car and the fuel that goes in it, but when I do I will quit buying gas also!

What happened to the rest of the comments, there were comments by sportlock and others? Weird!

To all who thinking of taking that leap of faith and voting for obama (the [mess]iah ) lets talk about faith. Now faith is real easy to come by if you have nothing at stake, picture if you will a tight rope walker up on the tight rope pushing a wheel barrow, you watch him go back and forth across the tight rope over and over again! Then he looks down on you and asks do you think I can do it again? And you shout yes! He says okay then get in the wheelbarrow! Will you do it? Do you still have faith that he can make it across? It???s a little different now right because you are at stake! Now lets take a look at obama he is a great speaker and seems to be intelligent. But is he the answer to our problems? Can he really do what he says? I myself can take that leap of faith because obama is not proven nor has he been tested in real leadership, he may be able to run this country once he has more experience under his belt but I don???t think he is ready now! If we put him into office and he is not able to deliver then we will have to deal with far more problems than we have right now! Take a good look at barrack obama and ask yourself is he ready? What about his problems with things like rev. Wright and William Ayres, Tony resko and the list goes on and on , if he was doing business with these folks that right there should question his ability to have sound judgement of what???s right and wrong! so with that being said there is a lot at stake in november, If you still choose to support barrack obama then so beit but remember it will be a long drop out of that wheel barrow and the ground will hurt when you end up there! AND THERE IS NO SAFETY NET !
