16. The OP reflects, in a humorous way
what she has said about the usefulness of experts and professional economists in considering a gas tax holiday. Obviously it's not a quote, but it is in essence what she said.

3. Here's my hope
I don't see her getting the nomination, but if she does, I just hope that she really is the anti-Bush in this regard. Pandering, and centering to the middle for the election to win over the moderates and independents. Then after the election handing over the power to the harder left elements. Kind of like how Bush ran as a pandering moderate, and then swung hard conservative, but in reverse.

I have more intelligent post elsewhere, but I am a visual person and sometimes Hillary's Bush does show!

But to show you my good natured side here I am adding to the discussion

Hillary's plan has too many what ifs for this to happen by May 30th

What if, she gets the support in the senate
What if, the speaker of the house agrees to put this before the floor
What if, you pass a windfall profits tax
what if, Bush doesn't veto it, or say he does
What if, Congress overrides the veto, Has that happened in 7 years for anything?????

Happy, I am sure it still will not help, because it's clear those who support this idea and it is just and I idea will not change. And those who don't support this idea will not change
So we might as well have a good laugh about the whole thing.

If it makes you feel better I am also working on Obama as the incredible Hulk. Because of the way he holds his temper so well, I can just see him saying, "You won't like me when I'm angry" Hew Hee

5. Trainwreck President? You mean the longest peacetime expansion in US history -- THAT trainwreck?
If we had a few more trainwrecks likr the Clinton Presidency, we'd still be the America we once were.

6. The sad thing is how some people assume

Hillary would be exactly the same kind of president her husband used to be.

that they are the same person simply because they have the same last name.

when the fact of the matter is, Hillary doesn't exude one tenth of the charisma, intellect and integrity that her husband did back then, and is much more conservative than him to boot.

Hillary and her husband are two vastly different people.

20. In case you hadn't noticed
Hillary and Bill are different people. Anyone who thinks Pres. Hillary is just going to be Bill Part II is living in a fantasy world.

Do Hillary supporters really think that her presidency is just going to be a continuation of the '90s? If so, that explains a lot.

33. Of course it did.
The primary driver of our good economy was a balanced budget.

36. "Longest peacetime expansion" - where do you get that nonsense?
Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Serbia, Rwanda, Somalia, Iraq, just to name a few.

Peacetime president? Please...

9. Even Chimpolini managed to feign humbleness until after the selection.
Then he arrogantly cashed in his "capital" as we all learned the hard way.

29. Oddly, I read the post over and over and there is not a single
quesstion in it.

Much like Obama's Unifying qualities and resume', I guess you can just make it up as you go.

23. Are you suggesting she doesn't know better than Economists?
I mean, since she can't point out a single economist who is on board with her plan, they must all be elitist jerks who are out of touch with the middle class reality right?

38. oh now.
You are part of the well informed of course. But Hillary has to know there is no way in hell that this will go through with Bush. Her own camapign has said this wont work but it is good politics.
No expert agrees with her on this..

There are people like you that know her very well and have good reason to vote for her.. But then there are others who are just now paying attention and will vote for her on this just to get this gas tax gone. She knows she can not deliver this but she is betting on their vote any way.

This is just another reason for me not to vote for her..
