Sticking to the highest priority issues in America?

Question

Which candidate for President do you think is most concerned about the highest priority issues in America? I have heard that McCain has expressed the urgency to find new oil resources and decrease our dependency on foreign oil and that will help get us out of Iraq and increase funds to develop alternative fuel sources. I haven't heard much about Obama's plans, only what he has to say negative about his opponents. http://mhutch.blogspot.com/2008/05/more-alaska-oil-drilling-needed-to.html http://www.issues2000.org/2008/John_McCain_Energy_+_Oil.htm I mean oil independence will take some time, but considering the present crisis - isn't some drilling in Alaska and other areas of the US - important to try? I heard the oil prices are going to hit 200/barrel in 2 years which equates to more than $5.00 per gallon for businesses and consumers in the US. Prices will increase, demand will decrease, average people will lose jobs and not be able to afford food and housing - bankruptcy!

Answer 1

. People need relief now. They are losing their jobs, their healthcare, and their homes. The trucking industry is in a world of trouble and that reflects on the price of food. We need a short term solution and fast. McCain and Hillary support the tax holiday, Obama opposed it. I don't think Obama has any short term plan to relieve the economy crisis. Its sad and I agree with you

Answer 2

McCain is Bush's clone. Clinton talks about socializing health care when the economy is still in ruins. Both these two think of the population as idiots which is the key to success in the USA the land of dumbasses. Obama at least seems to know the real problems and the real solutions to them. Tax cut on oil to him=making people forget the real problem is inflation. To me its like giving the general population dope so they would forget about high commodity prices which comes mostly through inflation. The down part about him is, he thinks pregnancy is a curse. All these politicians suck! They don't even bother to mention that the USA is already bankrupt! Debt and spending is all the US economy is now!

Answer 3

Mr. McCain....BTW, he is nothing like Mr. Bush in his ideologies.
