Gallup: Most Americans favor Obama's economic proposals

[skookerasbil]

And in November most Americans are going to be voting for Obama.

Perhaps...........a distinct possibillity. Thankfully, we have something called the Electoral College and in the swing states right now, the imcumbent is getting his balls kicked in and now the prospect of $5 gas.

I doubt Romney has a plan to lower the gas prices. I think it will be a level playing field when it comes to this issue.

This is a POLITICS forum s0n...........most people equate gas prices to the president. Same for the economy.

Message Board fanatics are a sliver of the population.


Its the perception and reality thing s0n. Sorry.

The majority are not for slavery and never will be, so you cannot use that as a comparison. And just because there has been controversy over Obama and the constitution, it doesn't mean he wants to do away with it.

Very convenient rationalization, even if true about the majority's future feelings, and you can't guarantee the truth of it.

Where are you willing to draw the line? How much of the constitution is it okay to ignore without going through the channels of amending it?

I used to enjoy your threads. You have an interesting blend of sincerity and documentation. Mostly reasonable even though I sometimes have to squint to see the reason.

You abandoned reason here.

Your sentiment - if shared by enough people - is literally dangerous to the future of this country.

I'm irrational? You are talking like the constitution itself is in trouble. It's not.

Says the man who said it was okay to violate the first amendment if the majority was okay with that.

Well...yeah.

Most Americans favored his support of a SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM, too.

Where is it?

Oh! oh,! ~ yeah, that's right...obama forget that he ran on that plank in his platform, didn't he?

Once explained, most Americans favor common sense over Republican right wing lunacy. It's getting the message through that's the most difficult part. Republican's tiny minds are already saturated with "Communist/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Kenyan Mau Mau/boy king/man child/Muslim with a deep seated hatred for white people who wants to destroy the United States". Hardly room left for even a tiny bit of reason.

Romney's plan is the opposite of Obama's. Increase the supply. Obama's plan is to decrease the supply of domestic energy causing the price to sky-rocket. If he wins reelection expect $8 gas inside the first 2 years and massive electric bills.

Our consumption is going down, and that is what Obama wanted. However the price keeps going up. That is also what Obama wanted. He doesn't give a fuck if he puts us all in the poor house. That just means more dependency on the government and more scared people come election day.

The proposals he laid out in the State of the Union, specifically.

Giving tax breaks to corporations who create domestic manfucturing jobs: 82% of those surveyed approve

Increasing Federal government spending for education and job training for the long-term employled: 75% of those surveyed approve

Pressuring China to allow fairer trade between the US and China: 69% of those surveyed approve

Increasing federal government spending to support the development of alternative energy sources: 64% of those surveyed approve

Increasing federal income taxes on upper-income Americans: 63% of those surveyed approve

Out West the price is already $5.

I am a Democrat because I believe in the environment and conservation. For instance, we must raise the price of gasoline, like they do in Europe, to increase conservation. If we don't, there will soon be a big gas shortage, and this will mean higher gasoline prices for you and me.

Wrong. Obama has increased domestic oil production significantly already.

Where? I'm in Los Angeles and seeing nothing close to $5.

And also, how specifically is Obama driving up the cost of gas?

Yes. Brazil's.

Somebody pointed out that most of those common sense ideas are actually Republican right wing lunacy. I guess that means the real lunacy is people who hate the ideas when they come from Republicans, but love them when they come from Obama.

He did not. He likes to tout the fact that the US is now a net exporter od gasoline, but that has nothing to do with him, refineries get more profit from selling overseas than they do here.

How hysterical to read your puny little "Sean Hannity" type rant that seems to somehow convey the idea that you actually think you know what you are talking about.

I guess the fact that you really do is what is so scary.

Keep posting. You'll figure it out.

As already explained, most people would like a free ice cream cone too. Just ask they will say yes.

Tell them they have to eat it standing in the middle of a busy intersection....they may want the ice cream...but they won't take the offer.

Well, so so-called single payer was explained in a way that left a few salient facts out and hence people were more than happy to say yes.

But, you'll notice how easily single-payer made it's way through a supermajority in the senate.

Oh! Oh! yeah, that's right...it didn't.

Guess why ?

FactCheck.org : Promises, Promises

...domestic oil production has increased under Obama, despite Republican claims that the administration is opposed to drilling. The U.S. was producing 6.9 million barrels of oil per day in January 2009, when Obama became president. That was up to 8.1 million barrels per day in November 2011, according to the Energy Information Administration’s most recent estimates. And U.S. dependence on foreign oil has declined under Obama as well, going from 58.9 percent of oil consumption in January 2009 to 44 percent in November 2011, according to EIA estimates.

Why don't you tell me what he did to cause that to happen? Keep in mind that every single time Republicans talk about domestic oil production pundits point out that it takes 6-10 to develop a lease and bring it to the point where it is actually producing oil. In case you have trouble with timelines, that would mean that Obama had to have won election in 2004 in order to affect oil production in 2011.

I won't hold my breath.

You have a serious problem with not being able to back up what you say with evidence. Even if you actually did hear that, you obviously do not realize that pundits often lie or exaggerate.

I'll trust factcheck.org before I'd believe you. The website has a slight conservative slant, so you can bet they would have mentioned such a caveat.

How has he done it? In part, he cleared up the red tape that oil producers face. He also opened up 10's of millions more acres for production.
