I’ve polled most of the people around the G7/G20 hanger’s on (can’t say how), and they are of the opinion that the Zero will win in November

I know that the contingency here in Canada is to assume he wins, and that projects we are working on will go ahead with what we negotiated with OBozo..

Sorry….

Well I’ve worked with harper’s staff (including Jason Kenny, his heir apparent minister of Immigration) and I have it on so-so /good authority (no way to totally verify) that Obama is seen as a total lightweight by Sarkozy, Merkel and Harper himself; Great TOTUS speaker, but a total numbskull that talks well, but there is no great shakes in the “content” department apart from platitudes. Sarkozy said in french, “Il parle bien, mais pas beaucoup de contenu la dedans”

Speaks very well, but not much content there we can use..

On another note, Harper has one of, if not the longest runs yet with the G7/G20, and he , imo, is very well respected there at this time; more than most canadians know or understand really, since the press here is the same as in the USA, MSM/LSM socialist (apart from the National Post/Sun Chain of Newspapers)..

—————–

How long would would it take for a typical Obama worshipper’s eyes to glaze over when presented with any of these explanations from Harper?

I have to say, it’s refreshing to see a head-of-government display a basic grasp of the economics assoicated with a major export from his country. Wish we had that here.

Well Harper for once is an economist that worked for a Right of Centre think-tank, like your Heritate Foundation

He’s mellowed a LOT to get to majority status in Canada, which is after all quite the pinkish socialist country it is still (although that is slowly changing…) but the contrast to that Jug eared Ivy League monstrosity you’ve elected in the US is quite simply unfathomable

A Bit like, Trudeau vs Reagan, but worse..

Trudeau was a nut, but not as bad as Jug ears. At least Trudeau was a socialist disaster that worked FOR canada. can’t say teh same about Jug ear’s.. He’s teh perfect affirmative action. citizen of the world Ivy League type that wishes to take america down (and of course, bring canad along for teh ride)

Sorry, but Harper is having none of that, he’s a canadian patriot through and true

Hope this helps

PS in 2006, before he won, I practiced with Harper for his french debate, and he did fine; I wonder if he remembers me, it has been 6 years :)

Uh oh. Looks like the Canadian PM is admitting the actions of the US president can indeed influence gas prices. Libtard memes hardest hit.

Somebody better alert Romney, too.

And everyone at Fox News. They apparently just haven’t lowered their estimation of O’Bozo far enough … but I have. And if you don’t believe O’Bozo is craven enough to send some State Department traitor to the House of Saud to tell them to cut production every single time oil drops below $105 a barrel, then you are a fool.

Expensive oil gives him great tax revenue from Exxon, Chevron and Conoco, keeps desperate Americans buying new fuel-efficient cars they don’t want and propping up his GM stock price and his union-thug political army, and keeps investors interested in alternative fuel boondoggles as a hedge against the New Reality of a $100 a barrel minimum.

They have decimated production on public land here to offset dramatic increases in production on private land, and they are tipping off our enemies the oil producers that he has no intention of increasing production, so they shouldn’t either.

fox news explains president cant reduce gas prices. lets work together shall we?

proud day for tom friedman.

Obama is proving a Harvard law degree doesn’t mean you have the brains of a piss ant. When you have never had a job, how are you expected to know what a job is?

volsense on April 3, 2012 at 5:55 PM

That is totally unfair! Obama absolutely has the brains of a piss ant.

The Canadian Prime Minister is right. If the U.S. isn’t going to be a reliable trading partner, he has no choice but to diversify their buyers.

Too bad for us, though.

I work for an Ag coop that is 50 miles away from where I live, as a programmer. Part of what we do is sell fuel. I bought a 500 gallon contract for $3.60 that goes from March – October, I forwent a 5% raise last year in favor of a 2% raise and another day I can work at home, so I get 2 now…and hope the same deal is made this year, so I will get 3. We just bought a 2000 Ford Taurus with 194,000 miles on it that gets ~25 mpg. I was driving a Ford F150 SuperCrew that got ~16mpg. It should pay for itself in 10 months. I was hesitant to buy the contract, because I thought, “maybe it won’t get that high…” but, I think I made the right decision :)

From the headline thread.

Okay so now can we repeal NAFTA?

Sheesh.

Remember when the good, ol’ US of A was a capitalist country…? I know it was a long time ago, but those were the days…, good times… , good times…

Obama’s base:
– welfare recipients (don’t own a car)
– urban residents (take the bus/subway)
– college kids (mon and dad pay for gas)
Gas could be $10 a gallon and the typical Obama vote won’t be affected. That’s why he doesn’t care about the politics of it.

Actually, everyone is affected. Considering oil as something “just for the car” is a limited view of it. Food gets transported in trucks and the cost is transferred to the customer. The same for every other good and service out there. Plastics are derived from oil as well so higher oil prices mean more expensive manufacturing products too. In short, everything in our daily life is affected by higher oil prices and everyone, no matter income level, will feel the sting of it in one way or another.

That is why it is important to remind the people in those groups you mentioned that it is not “the evil” oil companies setting the price for the heck of it but rather a world market that looks for signs of whether there will be plenty of oil ir not to go around in the coming years. And that the policies of a president that, say, has reduced permitting of new oil projects to a third, is blocking new ventures, wants to remove tax deductions that every business has for oil producers only, and is dedicated to making oil as unviable and inaccessible as possible to favor more expensive, less reliable, and less efficient sources, will signal there will be less oil output in the coming years and thus affect the price.

(p.s.: just tell jobless college students -and even some welfare recipients out there- that the new $500 iPad/iPhone they get every year will be more expensive as a result of higher oil prices. That ought to make them listen a bit).
