Obama's thoughts on energy showcase his principles...

Is that even legal? Who decides that a certain company has made too much money? That sounds like something a socialist country like Venezuela would do. Not to mention that the oil companies will just pass on the cost to its customers. Obama clearly does not understand economics.
Someone needs to tell Obama that the United States is a capitalist country that believes in free markets, including the right to make money. I told you, Obama is going to single handedly destroy the American economy.

Co-sign. On this rare occasion I agree with CWalker. Obama's energy policy is socialist, and America was not supposed to be a socialist country, but rather a free-market capatalist country.
Now CWalker, since I agreed with you, you atleast owe it to me to explain how a McCain presidency would be less socialist... Because government spending under Republicans is higher than that of Democrats, not even counting the great increase in military budget, George W. Bush administation has grately increased domestic spending, government programs, and federal regulations.
So you say you believe in the free market that is very hypocritical when Federal Spending always increases more under Republicans. (if you were real and true to what you say you'd support Ron Paul)
CLINTON WAS MUCH LESS SOCIALIST THAN BUSH HAS BEEN.

The principles behind such policies are so thoroughly rotten, that one should seriously wonder whether Obama really is "the lesser of the two evils." America beware.

Why not? They've been robbing us for years and nobody has done shit. I seriously doubt Obama is trying to set a precedent to abolish property rights. It seems more to me that he is using enegy money to restructure the energy industry. Sounds good to me. These insane energy prices are making everything else more and more expensive. Our money is as weak as I can ever remember right now.
