Roger, you are leaping to conclusions on an Obama position on coal based upon a hacked-up, taken out of context, video, which was pasted together by someone trying to whip up hysteria in a couple of swing states out of desperation. As I said, McCain's position is very similar, or at least it was a few weeks ago.
And no, the auto industry was not happy long after the Federal mandates on emissions and CAFE were imposed, and they still talked of doom and gloom. They were not happy when President George W. Bush signed into law a bill, which recently upped the ante on the CAFE standards.
You're much smarter than that, and you're not CDC.

I certainly think you're correct, on all accounts . Although, the jury is still out on just how correct, at least with regard to my rationale .
Again, CAFE standards are established with industry input. CARB tends to evaluate and decide on their own. The bill GWB signed was not welcomed, any more than increased taxes are by us. It's absorbed, but not welcomed.
And, nope, no CdC here. But 'twixt the two candidates available, one is far more starry-eyed. Rooted in reality, I sure hope - but with what appears will wind up a one-party government I need better than hope, at least the kind they espouse.
CdC and TB,
Since you both seem to think that taking a candidate out of context makes you look like you have some sort of argument to make (and that it gives you a great new slogan to throw around), lets go ahead and try it on your guys.
Now here's an energy policy you can really get behind, right? From an 'energy expert' and everything!
Flag the Molecules!!
You betcha it's hard ta pin flags on all those molecules, 'cause they're so small, but I'm bettin' that those molecules will stand up proud an' wear those flag pins like the patriotic American molecules they are!
I've interviewed candidates for job positions before, and if any of them ever answered a question like that they would generally be considered a BS'er. But go right ahead and vote for them.

The bottomline VRM - you are a buggerin' wanker, therefore no one would want to work for you anyway. You and Ron Paul make for a perfect couple and now it's time for you both to recede into some hole for four more years, regardless of who wins.
By the way, if BO wins - kiss your Cobra and any other toys you may have goodbye, along with at least 1/2 of any savings. Your Cobra will be given to a homeless guy in the hood and your savings to hookers and pimps all over the country. You? you're screwed.

CdC,
I am not a manager - I have no interest in it. I'm a technical person, and I was interviewing to evaluate the potential candidates technical aptitude. If a candidate had responded like Palin they would have been shown the door.
Lets see - I've already kissed a huge chunk of my savings goodbye, I was laid off earlier this year and prior to that had no raise for about 5 years due to cost cutting and sending jobs to Brazil. I found a job 3 weeks after my termination date. I am one of the lucky ones. I have friends whose standard of living has eroded a lot more significantly than mine in the last few years.
