I’ve always wondered about the government windfall taxes they collect from the oil/gas companies ... and didn’t do a thing to earn it .....

Oh he would if he could. But the price of oil has dropped way way down. There’s no profits for him to take. If it goes up again, he’ll swoop right in.

Dare we hope his isn’t a socialist, but just an opportunist? I guess an opportunist is preferable....in a choice between two devils.....

Just curious, I can't seem to recall the last "president elect" being given so much press about what he says he will do or won't do. Once elected, we never heard a thing about him or from him until GW took office on 1/20/2001.
Obama aint the president yet

Nor the last.. I don’t think the far left that supported him is going to be very happy by 12 comes around.

Technically, they’re not even windfall profits.

Interesting. It is looking more and more like O-bummer is a typical politician. Say anything to get elected and then “Keep all the promises you intend to keep.”

“This may not be the last time they are disappointed, as Mr Obama has so far shown an inclination to govern from the centre.”

Obama is abandoning plans to raise taxes. The Far Left kook fringe is disappointed. He's behaving like Bush! That's the ultimate insult.

"President-Elect Obama owes the American people an explanation as to why these campaign promises have been pulled from his agenda," it said. I believe P.T. Barnum can provide the explanation.

"setting off a storm of protest among liberal bloggers and small business groups."
I don't think real small businesses would object.
