Cap & trade will raise electric 90%, Obama lies to the people saying it will only cost less than a few hundred dollars a year. Cap & trade will also raise gas, water, food, goods estimated 3000 dollars a year for the average family. It will increase by 2012. Jobs will be lost into the millions more in the coal states. Millions of people will be jobless homeless, Obama passes this which whatever Obama wants he gets he will regret it. People will demand this radicals impeachment by that time, Guess it takes something major before people will take back the country. This wiull be devastating to the people in these coal burning states. Obama's destroying this country while some Obama lovers think he's helping us. It's power to the people not these crooks in Washington. Clean the corruption up then America will once be what it was,

we gave away our country to the bankers in 1914 by establishing the Federal Reservein thev first place Now why should the federal reserve be exempt from all oversight by congress? get aboard by urging your representative or senator to co sponsor and work for passage HR 2007 (transparency act) -now already with 245 co-sponsors in the House ) or senate companion bill S604

I didn't vote for Obama but you can't blame it all on him, you have Helicopter Ben, Paulson, Greenspan, Bush and all the other BS politicans that created a economy built on debt and now we will all pay dearly for it. The bankers the crooks that there are make Madoff look like childs play. Doesn't anybody out there wonder why Ben ordered AIG to pay BOA,GOLDMAN and all the others $ for $ on there CDS's with the $108,000,000 that the FED gave them. And what about the 9 trillion in off balance sheet loans the Fed gave out, who got ************** time to wake up America these people are all thieves and their stealing it from you!!!!!!

It's all Obama's fault! I can't believe he didn't wave his magic wand on November 4th and have it all fixed. It only took 8 years to create this mess; why didn't he fix it overnight?
Where did you all ever get the idea that one person could fix all this instantly? Talk about unrealistic goals. If McCain had been elected president, do you think any of this would be any better? I think not.
As to some of the stuff you're saying, there are a lot of rumors going around. Obama's gonna give all the jobs to immigrants (yeah, he controls all the industries too!) and Obama's going to take away all our guns (of course he is!) the gun laws have never been this liberal. Maybe you should go to www.factcheck.org and get the real facts instead of believeing all the nonsense your friends are sending you via the internet.
As to the immigrants taking our jobs, they're not taking them. Your Republican buddies, the big business owners, are sending them overseas. At some point we won't have any more immigrants coming here because all our jobs will already be in their countries and they won't need to come here to get them.
