What a difference a President makes

[Scuba]

Last year every time fuel went up $.05 per gallon the libs screamed that Bush and his cronies were to blame for the high price of fuel. Now we have the messiah and the price of fuel is up over $ .26 a gallon more than it was since Jan 21st and no one is screaming

That's Just It, We Don't Have a President! We Have a Moron who is Strutting Around "Thinking" He is a President! And the Sad Part of it is that His Followers are Just Too Dumb to See Through Him! What a Sad State of Affairs the Dems have Put Us All In!! Ok All You Obumma Freaks, Rip Into me!!

The sad part really is that Obamazombies say, "Sock it to the oil companies!" And when he did, we have prices going up. When you raise taxes on a company, something's gotta give... the consumer. Don't these ppl EVER learn that? Obama did... he knew EXACTLY who would pay the bill. Just another tax to US.

The darling of the mainstream media. He won't be reported on accurately and without positive bias until he's done so much harmful to us that the tenth generation will still be damming his name along with the horse he rode in on.

 

[chefdennis]

he told everyone that was listening that he wanted all fuel/gas prices as high as possible. His only concern was that it happen slowly so the people wouldn't feel it as bad as if it went up and down in spurts..... this is just the beginning, its going to go higher, just not as fast as in the past, so the media and barrys friends won't be whining.....its all in his plan.....

You bring something that I'd forgotten about.....where is the outrage?? Without Bush and his "ties to big oil" to blame, the state-owned media is pretty quiet! Hmm

Let me see if I can explain this rite(probably not but here goes) There is not a good reason for fuel prices to be going up,there are plenty in reserves,production is up or steady anyway,demand is down,so if I understand it correctly it is because commodity's are down and the speculators are to blame. HMM,not very informative was it?

Here I thought you knew every thing. It wasn't a horse he rode in on it was a little yellow bus.

Reserves are bulging and demand is down, but production is actually down. It's at about 89% right now, where it's normally in the 95% range. Refiners have cut back on purpose, and they'll tell you straight up it's because if they were above 90% they'd lose money, because the price would drop.

Ticks me off every time I read a story on gas prices and somewhere in there they'll drop in something about, "but it's not as high as it was a year ago," as if that's supposed to make the current gouging better than last year's gouging. I'm about gouged out.

More like the 'short' bus.

Isn't that what wellarmed said? Why would you stepped all over his joke.

 

[Tennesseahawk]

I took the little yellow bus to mean the one they haul 'community organizers' and protesters in. If I stepped on your joke, wellarmed, I apologize.

Just wait, it will NOT be long until they start raising the fuel taxes. Count on some really dramatic increases. We have to pay for roads and bridges, public transportation, hiking and bike trails from this tax. Revenues are down due to higher mileage cars, fewer miles driven to to high fuel prices and layoff. SO raise taxes, that increases the cost of fuel, then fewer miles driven, more layoff and revenues go down, etc etc etc. More proof that "Critical Thinking" is NOT a primary subject in school and NOT practiced by elected officials.

I guess I should have said "short little yellow bus" but either way we'll be able to take our grand children to see it in the Smithsonian some day. It's not every day a child gets to see a past presidents tongue prints on glass.
