: : Ok...
: : You've seen the news where Hillary and McCain want to give the public a little break at the gas pumps,right?
: : Barack said..."It's only 30-40 dollars"
: : A temporary fix and not a long term fix.

: : Ok...it is only 30-40 bucks (some say a month,others say a week depending on how often you fill up your as tank)..but to many 30-40 dollars is a whole lot of money to save.
: : I've been there when even ten bucks save my butt until payday.
: : I look at it like this..You're going down the river in your boat having fun with Hillary and Barack along for the ride.
: : You hit something in the water and punch a small hole in the bow and start taking on water.Hillary grabs a life-vest and sticks it in the hole,slowng down the flow of water coming in by half.
: : Barack stands there saying..Hey,girl,that ain't going to do any good in the long run,it's just a gimmick,why bother?
: : Let's wait until we can fix the problem back on shore.
: : Hillary may say something to him like..Hey Barack,grab a bucket and start bailing out some water instead of standing there trying to walk on it,geeesss.
: : Well...I'll take Hillary's "gimmick" anytime.
: : Let Obama sink in his "holy" boat if he likes.
: : The guy just doesn't get it.We are in trouble my friends and in my opinion Obama is out of "sink".
: : Excuse the puns :o)

: Jes' to be the devil's advocate here my good Captain since I don't know who I'm voting for yet, I'll take your analogy a step further...

: Ol' Hill wants to fix our 'ship' by sticking a life jacket into one of the thousand holes that have turned our good sleek craft into a leaky , clunky barge that is drifting out of control down stream where there may be a catastrophic waterfall beyond the next bend...

: This is 'Business as usual' says Obama ... "wait a moment folks, lets get this wounded vessel on to shore, rebuild her, send a scout or two down river
: and begin anew with a strategy of vision, not a mentality of quick-fix band-aids".

: Now as any mutt bred dog like myself knows about oil companies ...no matter what, they will raise their prices because that's the way they are. Nature of the beast kind of thingy, ya know. So if we charge them a huge tax like Hill says, who do YOU think will pay that tax my good Captain. Eh?

: I respect Obama for his stand on this issue because by summer's end I will bet you a super SUB pastrami sandwich with all the fixens that gas will be over $4.00 a gallon no matter what.

Yo Leo...
Your point is well taken and I do agree that we will all end up paying more no matter what.
$4.00 plus as I see it by October.
I just like the idea of a cut in gas price no matter how small.But hey...I'm always bitchin' about something,so why not bitch about a small drop in price at the upper end.
BTW...I would love to buy you a super SUB pastrami with all the fixens just for old time sake.
Hell,I'll even spring for Squeegee and Sigh and any of the other political or non political schmucks on this BBS.
I'm in a good mood...LOL...Hillary just won Indiana.
Ok...so she lost N.C. So what :o)
It's funny you should mention subs.I took my little sidekick up to Subway today for lunch.I had the meatball and she had the tuna.They have a sale on...
any sub,only $5.00 for the footlong. I watched my 80 pound sidekick chow down 1/2 of the tuna in no time flat.
I also ate 1/2 of mine and saved the rest for dinner.
Darn good eatin'.
Capt.Gary
