I would just love to know where are all of the liberals in the media, on blogs, on radio...speaking up about your outrage about gasoline prices??? This was one of your favorite things to talk about under Bush wasn't it? Well, guess what gas prices have never been higher under any other president until Obama...soooo where are you? Does this mean you won't be voting for this president? http://cnsnews.com/news/article/und...rcent-ground-beef-24-percent-bacon-22-percent
I would guess that if someone supported Obama they would know that gas prices are not set by the President, so it would make very little difference.
Gas prices suck but they have been higher under another president. I for one will not be voting for Obama, but gas prices are not the reason.
Here's a another newsflash. Oil prices are on a long term trend in only one direction. You can elect a Republicrat, a Green, a socialist, a Libertarian, a cat, or whatever you like. And guess what? Oil prices will remain on the same long term trend.
In Progressiveville, only right wing "oilmen" administrations have the power to manipulate gas prices to garner "obscene profits" for their "buddies" When lefties are at the helm, gas prices are simply a function of the global market.
They are influenced by his policies of under production, over-spending, and printing too much money. We need to produce more energy in this country and the fact that we don't contributes to the speculation in energy prices.
So....during the gas spike while GWB was prez, were Pelosi and her leftist cohorts just peddling politically expedient pap to gullible liberals?
The actions of the international oil speculators are influenced by Obama and Pelosi when they reject new oil supplies like the Canadian pipeline, more drilling in the Gulf, ANWR and other places. Then we should reign in the out-of-control EPA with its many different blends of gasoline for different regions of the country. This is inefficient and wasteful and costs consumers money.
"The price of oil is at the doorstep -- 4 dollars plus per gallon for oil, is attributed to two oil men in the White House, Pelosi said in a CNN interview on July 17th, 2008."
I just busted webrockk. This is the weakest comeback I have ever seen. I exposed his lie. Don't try and spin it.
I'm glad you rate yourself so highly because no one else does. Obama is the president and he is trying to micromanage a vast economy that includes energy prices. He is responsible in part for the rising gasoline prices in America and there is no way you can weasel out of that fact.
No, actually Jeb you did not. Webrockk actually ended this thread already with his quote. Heres a video for those who choose not to read it, or do and try and blame the source the story came from. Right from Skeleton head Pelosis mouth gas prices were due to the "2 oil men in the White House". [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdq0nN_JLtU&noredirect=1"]Gas Prices & Foreign Policy Blame in '08 & '11 - YouTube[/ame] Why would this same criticism not lay at the floor of the White House now? Oh thats right....it's not Bush and Cheney in there anymore.
High gas prices hurt poor and middle class the most... therefore libs are not concerned. They only pretend to be concerned about people... what they really get off on is bragging how their Obamessiah saved giant corporations like GM... and plans to rape the rich by raising their taxes. I'm convinced... the left has lost touch with reality.
With such a wonderful example of the arrogance of the left on this thread... I doubt if anyone's missing a thing. Your avatar fits perfectly. Good choice.
