Video: Obama explains problem with gas tax holiday
It was nice to watch Tim Russert actually spend some time focusing on real issues this morning, as opposed to asking Barack Obama an endless number of questions about Jeremiah Wright. During a portion of the full hour on Meet the Press, they discussed the proposed gas tax holiday. Obama explained that a short-term repeal of the gas tax would only cause demand to go up, meaning that the price would go up anyway and offset any money that consumers save. And as demand increases, that leads to shortages and long lines. Also, the gas tax takes money away from highway construction, which would lead to job loss.
Here is Obama:
ODE TO OBAMA (Second Ed.)
by Publius II
There once was a man named Obama
His life began with drama
An African Muslim father
And a wild white mama
Obama???¬??s white grandparents
They gave him a charmed life
Raised on the beaches of Hawaii
Far from ghetto strife
He went to private schools
Fourteen thousand dollars a year
Working-class white folks
They were nowhere near
He attended Columbia
Then Harvard Law
A very soft and liberal upbringing
Something Americans eventually saw
He then went to Chicago
Nation of Islam, Farrakhan, Black Panthers and Jackson
The only friends he made
All from the extreme left-wing faction
He joined a radical church
His Pastor downright insane
Blacks and whites, he said
Think with different parts of their brain
His church praised a man named Cone
With hateful opinions he was filled
He said white people were ???¬?the devil???¬??
And Gods who love whites must be killed
Obama first ran for State Senate
With permission from Chicago???¬??s Marxist King
A domestic terrorist named Ayers
Obama kissed his ring
He wrote a book called ???¬?Dreams From My Father???¬??
From start to finish a racist rant
After people finally read it
They later said: ???¬?Obama, no we can???¬??t???¬??
He wrote how he rejected his mother???¬??s race
And that Malcolm X was a hero
People had a clear warning
Obama was a dangerous zero
He was then elected to the U.S. Senate
Obama???¬??s ego grew very bold
He barely served a year
I will run for President was the story he told
He spent millions to stage rallies
The crowds would yell and cheer
But then it all fizzled after he said
Typical white folks cling to religion, guns and beer
His wife said America was mean
She was never really proud
Her Black Separatist thesis at Princeton
Became a campaign cloud
People said he was a Muslim
His supporters scoffed and jeered
Then his Black Liberation Church was exposed
And Obama???¬??s ugly head was reared
He tried to recover in a speech on race
The radical left-wing media offered raves
But he said white folks had an ???¬?untrained ear???¬??
And abolitionists in Pennsylvania turned over in their graves
He claimed to be a uniter
He would bring people together all at once
But after his speech in Philadelphia
He proved to be a demographic dunce
He tried once more to persuade whites
But his bowling was a mess
He rolled a 37
Like a 5-year-old girl in a sundress
He then played basketball
He drove the ball to the rack
But when all was said and done
He looked like an old man having a heart attack
He wouldn???¬??t cover his heart
As the National Anthem played
It???¬??s a meaningless gesture he said
But Americans felt betrayed
He wouldn???¬??t wear a flag pin
It was against his One World view
It doesn???¬??t matter he said
And the American people stewed
He first called terrorist Ayers his friend
Then said this man he didn???¬??t really know
More deceit and cover-ups
Obama???¬??s lies began to grow
Farrakhan, Jackson and Sharpton
Three of Obama???¬??s greatest fans
He tried hiding them in the closet
So not to further offend the white man
Then came his anti-American Pastor
Obama???¬??s mentor for 20 years
He preened, shucked and jived
White people rose up and sneered
NBC and the New York Times
They tried each day to save Obama???¬??s campaign
But real Americans said ???¬?FU???¬??
And Obama spiraled down the drain
The radical left-wing Democrats
A Presidential race lost once again
Is it really a surprise
They???¬??ve lost 7 of the last 10?

What made her a "wild" white mama? Did she not marry the way some people wanted?
