Funny how those who claim to be so smart, show how ignorant they are by using this good question to attack others.

Obama hasn't laid out his plan as of yet. He has numerous area's that can be explored to accomplish this. We'll have to wait and see which direction he goes, (If elected)!!!

Answer 7

Our representatives have committed a huge amount of money in the advancement of ethenol.  We have significantly decreased our dependence already.  This will not only decrese our need for foreign crude but will provide almost all the manufacturing jobs that have been lost to the global free trade.  We should have converted our cars, in 1973.  Before our midwest family farms were lost.  Instead of continuing to pour money in to the middle east allowing them to build up arms against us.  The middle east has been an excellent venue for terrorizing the American people and when ever a president wants to be elected the ease of creating a war in the middle east.

The oil presidents I hope are a thing of the past and we can get back to what is right.  

I also hope the people of America and its leaders refrain from worshiping gold and false idols as the only deciding factor in what is right and good.  

We have been promised by many leaders since 1973 to stop the attack of the oil rich and it took a democratic strength and resolve to return to real values we need to strengthen these leaders and vote non republicans.  Even republicans are denouncing the greedy republicans that have created this plumet of American value.

He's full of shite and will say anything if he thinks it will win votes, wake up America and see this fool for what he is.

Answer 9

Everyone is going to get a tire gauge from the democrats, that will fix the problem.

Answer 10

He is so wrapped up in his own Hype he thinks he is God.

He says amazing things about what he is going to do , to "change the World" and the World is so desperate for change that they BELIEVE him.

It's all SPIN.

Answer 11

ummm your a moron just like your leader Bush,

he is investing lots in other sources of energy and thus that will create jobs and soon the promotion of electric,solar, and fuel cell cars will be mass produced. We have the technology, we just need the push!

He even said that going into coal would be more effective for the USA

Answer 12

Sounds to me he has plans to conquer the East.....That's the only way he'll get the oil he needs...
