Something to think about when you head to the polls this year

Please.

During the first twenty-six months of President Bush’s first term in office, the price of gasoline increased by 7%. At the end of his second term, the price had decreased by 9% from the time he took office (adjusted for inflation). During the first twenty-six months of Obama’s term in office, the price of gasoline has spiked over 67% with no relief in site.that was Feb 2011...looking A LOT worse now

this is a gas station right around the corner from the Whitehouse...probably where Obama gasses up his 6mpg Eco- Chariot...right?

Scott, why don't you please explain why the chart you posted has a big gap, and how the timeline of that gap relates to the rest of the chart?

Are you guys all idiots?

if you simply read..... the graph compares Bush's first 26 months and Obama's first 26 months, hopefully we will not have to suffer a second Obama term...you can figure out what the gas prices were when Bush left and what they were when Obama took office because Obama took office right after Bush...right?...did I really have to esplain' that ...really?....try closing the 7% to 67% gap(actually...use current gas prices just for kicks, the ones right outside the Whitehouse, I'm sure Obama uses Premium..so that's $5.69)...that should be fun..


At the end of his second term(Bush), the price had decreased by 9% from the time he took office (adjusted for inflation).

I don't think Obama will ever be able to claim this

hey Spence, Zimmy...have you picked up one of these yet?

Apparently the hottest new item among Obamaistas and at Democrat headquarters.......I'm sure they'll figure it out and put the correct flag on top..

apparently, when some military veterans expressed some concern the Democrat Headquarters chair stated

“It leads me to believe that it’s not about the flag.” “Certain elements cannot accept Barack Obama as president.”

that sounds exactly like the kind of thing you guys would say

Probably not...but only because Obama's tenure isn't likely to end in a MASSIVE RECESSION.

Your assertion is so disingenuous I'd have to say you're guilty of outright deception...in other words a liar.

Nice one, Palin

That $4.28 record under Bush doesn't count? Not that it was his fault, anymore than this is Obama's fault. But, you can't fix stupid.

I'm pretty sure I'm on record as saying that the president isn't the sole determining factor in oil prices although I just pointed out in that poll, he's absolutley held accountable by a majority of Americans as though he were....O is on record as desiring higher gas prices and energy prices in general, has pursued policies which push prices higher and has an Energy Secretary that publically yearned for 8-9 dollar gasoline...it's part of the agenda, if he'd pushed a little harder on some items we'd really be screwed right now... I don't think they care how they get there as long as they get there...his policies in their totality will force prices higher whether it's now or later...slow or fast....another president with a different agenda...not so much... which is why prices returned to reasonable levels under Bush....Obama inherited cheap gas too he has no intention of allowing it to return to reasonable levels...it's not in the agenda


the nastiness is spreading...."pent up anger"?

Financial Times...pretty funny

"In exchange for 48 hours of priceless photo opportunities, Mr Cameron offered to support the US if it released oil reserves to lower fuel prices, even if Britain thinks the move would be a largely futile short-term gesture."
