Once again Obama is caught speaking out of one side of his mouth in San Francisco while he speaks out of another in Ohio, Pa and virginia!
Obama's cap and trade as spoken of on the link will not stop current Coal useage (45% of power plants in the USA today use Coal and it will take MANY years to convert them to clean coal technology) In the mean time your ELECTRIC Rates will SKYROCKET to keep these plants from going bankrupt...further Products made in factories will pass on their Electric Bill to the consumer!
The end result? Greater need for foreign Oil and PRoducts!

Promises are Free...Does anyone remember a President Promising us a Middle Class tax cut before then getting elected and saying it couldn't be done? Does anyone remember his wife promising Universal health Care in the first one hundred Days..and that was never done?

Don't buy the Obama lies about his tax plan!

Don't Forget Obama in his Own words why he shouldn't be President...

Obama's Illinois Senate job was a pretty good part-time gig. One would have plenty of extra time to nurture nascent Hope and Change.

90th General Assembly - 1997-1998

Senate days - 118 days (59 days per year; 1.13 days per week)

91st General Assembly - 1999-2000

Senate days - 112 days (56 days per year; 1.08 days per week)

92nd General Assembly - 2001-2002

Senate days - 118 days (59 days per year; 1.13 days per week)

93rd General Assembly - 2003-2004

Senate days - 161 days (80 days per year; 1.52 days per week)

Another cool thing about the job is they let you vote "present" to avoid tough decisions. A local Chicago reporter also has reported that, though Obama spent 7 years in the state senate, he built his entire legislative record in one year, and none of it was his.

So, if my math is right, Obama's experience in the Illinois Senate amounts to 161 days (his final year: the year of all his "accomplishments"), in which he often voted "present," and during which he bill-jacked the legislation (see the link) of others, taking credit for their work.

Remember Joe Biden's Words..
Speaking at a fundraiser in Seattle on Sunday night, Mr Biden said: "Mark my words, it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy."

What did French President Sarkozy think of Obama's knowledge of foreign Policy in regard to Iran?

Sources Say Sarkozy Finds Obama's Iran Policy 'Arrogant,' 'Utterly Immature'
October 28, 2008 11:39 AM
The respected Israeli newspaper Ha'artez reports that according to a "senior Israeli government source, the reports reaching Israel indicate that Sarkozy views the Democratic candidate's stance on Iran as 'utterly immature' and comprised of 'formulations empty of all content.'"
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., met with Sarkozy in July and they are said to have discussed Iran at length.
French authorities are said to be concerned that the international community doesn't take the Iranian threat seriously enough. French intelligence has concluded that Iran has already obtained up to 40% of the enriched uranium it needs for a bomb

The first loophole was easy to find: Senator Obama doesn't "count" allowing the Bush tax cuts to lapse as a tax increase. Unless the cuts are re-enacted, rates will automatically return to the 2000 level. Senator Obama claims that letting a tax cut lapse -- allowing the rates to return to a higher levels -- is not actually a "tax increase." It's just the lapsing of a tax cut.

See the difference?

Neither do I.

No matter what Senator Obama calls it, requiring us to pay more taxes amounts to a tax increase. This got me wondering what other Americans will have to pay when the tax cuts lapse.
For a married family, filing jointly and earning $75,000 a year, this increase will be $3,074. For those making just $50,000, this increase will be $1,512. Despite Senator Obama's claim, even struggling American families making just $25,000 a year will see a tax increase -- they'll pay $715 more in 2010 than they did in 2007. Across the board, when the tax cuts lapse, working Americans will see significant increases in their taxes, even if their household income is as low as $25,000. See the tables at the end of this article.

Check this for yourself. Go to http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/ and pull up the 1040 instructions for 2000 and 2007 and go to the tax tables. Based on your 2007 income, check your taxes rates for 2000 and 2007, and apply them to your taxable income for 2007. In 2000 -- Senator Obama's benchmark year -- you would have paid significantly more taxes for the income you earned in 2007. The Bush Tax Cuts, which Senator Obama has said he will allow to lapse, saved you money, and without those cuts, your taxes will go back up to the 2000 level. Senator Obama doesn't call it a "tax increase," but your taxes under "President" Obama will increase -- significantly."
2. The next loophole involves the payroll tax that you pay to support the Social Security system. Currently, there is an inflation-adjusted cap, and according to the non-profit Tax Foundation, in 2006 -- the most recent year for which tax data is available -- only the first $94,700 of an unmarried individual's earnings were subject to the 12.4 percent payroll tax. However, Senator Obama has proposed lifting that cap, adding an additional 12.4 percent tax on every dollar earned above that cap -- and in spite of his promise, impacting all those who earn between $94,700 and $249,999.
By doing this, he plans to raise an additional $1 trillion dollars (another $662.50 out of my pocket -- and how much out of yours?) to help fund Social Security. Half of this tax would be paid by employees and half by employers -- but employers will either cut the payroll or pass along this tax to their customers through higher prices. Either way, some individual will pay the price for the employer's share of the tax increase.
