$3.70+/gallon gas. Where's the same media outrage when gas was $1.89 under Bush?

[Clementine]

High ranking Dems blamed Bush time and time again. Now they say the president has no control over it. Just like when Pelosi said, "Where are the jobs, Mr. President?" when the unemployment rate was only 4.7%. When it was over 8% with Obama, the Dems said it was the new norm.

So, now high gas prices are the new norm. Obama said $5.00 a gallon was okay as long as prices rose slowly. No liberal media going to gas stations and asking people how the high prices are hurting them financially. No outrage. Just the new norm so get used to it. Might as well get used to everything being more expensive.

Apparently, only Repubs can be guilty for high gas prices. Liberal logic.

 

[OKTexas]

Don't ask why the price of gas is so high or who is making all of that money off of the backs of the struggling poor. Just know that it's all Obama's fault.

What poor, your dear leader eliminated them with all his social justice crap, haven't you been keeping up?

But, BUT, BUT..... Pelosi lambasted Bush, and gas was $1 a gallon cheaper.... You're such a fucking HYPOCRITE!!!

What did I say that was hypocritical?

This is the problem with pointing out hypocrisy. You can point it out clear as day and they still dont see it.

 

[Mr. H.]

Could anyone explain to me why such a useful and valuable commodity should be cheap as dirt?

So point it out. If it's clear as day then point it out.

Water is also a useful and valuable commodity. Can someone explain to me why it should be cheap as dirt? $4.00 a gallon for water isn't unreasonable is it?

You mean the rising prices due to the instability of the middle east cause by crappy foreign policy and a relunctance to get our own energy?

"Our own energy" is earmarked to pay down our debt to China.

Haven't you heard that the US is harvesting more domestic energy sources than ever before?


And yet gas prices are still going up?

So how does producing more domestic energy reduce oil prices? Wouldn't that have happened by now?

That bullshit about more energy than ever is propaganda. While we are producing more it's not nearly as much as necessary and as much as possible. And that's being done intentionally by this hack president's green energy policy scam. If we extract what we're capable of that affects global supply and that is what drives prices down.

 

[Mr. H.]

Each year, I spend $250 - $300,000 to pump salt water from the ground. I then pump it back under ground. And then I pump it back to the surface only to pump it back into the ground.

Here's the quiz du jour - why?

Water is also a useful and valuable commodity. Can someone explain to me why it should be cheap as dirt? $4.00 a gallon for water isn't unreasonable is it?

Could you be any less obtuse? What's your game here, Mr. L.?

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

It was almost $5 a gallon until the economy crashed under Bush

Bullshit. It peaked a little over $4 under Bush for a week or two, then it fell back down to under $2. After Obama took over, it rose steadily and hasn't been under $3 a gallon since. Right now, in So. Cal. it is almost $4 a gallon and rising.

Yeah. I remember that. The economy was in such a nose dive that nobody was spending money or going anywhere and the it did cause the price of gasoline to go down for a while. Those were some great times.

Wrong. The price dropped because of the expiration of the offshore moratorium.

OPEC is one factor in a global market. We have the means to diminish their influence but we have an anti-American hack president getting in the way.

 

[Mr. H.]

Here's a challenge... analyze the politics and economics of 1995 America and make the argument for a return to $1.00/gallon gasoline.

 

[OKTexas]

Our economy moves on it, the higher fuel is the slower the economy moves, the mulatto messiah has yet to recognize that fact.

Explain how America can produce more domestic energy to pay down the debt to China and lower American oil prices.

Explain how Obama is in the way. How does the Keystone XL pipeline lower domestic energy prices if it ships Canadian tar sands to the Gulf of Mexico for export to China.

You only need to return to 2001 to see gas prices near $1. With expanded trade with Indian and China and their expanding economies buying up oil and putting the squeeze on supply the price went up. We didn't keep pace with the demand and here we are.

 

[KNB]

How does the Keystone XL pipeline reduce gas prices for America if it ships Canadian oil to China?

 

[OKTexas]

How does the Keystone XL pipeline reduce gas prices for America if it ships Canadian oil to China?

They will be shipping finished petroleum products which create American jobs and increases the world supply of gas, supply goes up, price goes down. Econ 101.

thanks to a crashed economy under Bush gas was cheaper, and it was cheap when he entered his first term, but in between,,,,it went to over 4.50 a gallon before the crash...

 

[Moonglow]

The price of gasoline is determined by supply & demand.

Americans drive overly large cars, drive too much, and use mass transport too little.

So the next time you drive a couple of miles in order to idle for 15 minutes in a Micky Ds drive-thru, waiting on your cheap-o, carb-heavy breakfast, in your gas guzzling pickup truck , take a moment to blame yourself for the price of gas.

No, it's driven by manipulation, much like the QE of the stock market! We're using less gas, and even EXPORTING it, the price should have dropped....can you, with that 2 digit IQ, tell us why?
