Hope and change
If this economy hasn’t rebounded in three years, I’m a one-termer.
Well, here’s a handy score card. Honestly, though, the fact that the price of a gallon of gas is up almost 80% isn’t exactly the president’s fault. The fact the .gov may default on its debt though is.

Actually you can pretty much blame the nitwh for the rise in the price of gasoline.

Bush’s fault!
Sorry, I just wanted to see what it felt like to a liberal.

Bullshit.
If Obama hadn’t shut down drilling in the Gulf of Mexico oil would be cheaper than today.
If we began drilling in ANWR oil would be cheaper than today (and if Obama wanted that done, it would be done).

Gas prices affect other things. I also buy groceries each week. And manufactured goods that have to be transpoorted by trucks. And fertilizer and seeds and clothes and shoes and so on. The rise in oil and gas prices has a fantastic multiplier effect on most other prices. Thanks, Mr. President!

Sorry, Uncle, but I agree with the others.
1. Cost of all trucked goods is up due to the cost of diesel.
2. Cost of gasoline and diesel is up because Comrade Obama has blocked drilling in the US.
3. A lot of oil field workers aren’t paying income taxes because they have no jobs because the jackass in the White House WON’T LET US DRILL!
(Sorry for the shouting, but this is a sore subject down here.)

Not to mention HUGE spending and printing of money. QE? QE II? Helicopter Ben? The dollar lost a large chunk of it’s value because these fools either don’t understand economics, are lousy stinking traitorous bastards, or both!
