Harry Rei...Wait just a dang second there Anonymous! Harry Reid, John Dingell, and a whole bunch of them democrats told me in 2008 that George W. needed to "jawbone" with his "Big Oil" buddies and stop raping us with those high oil prices that they were profiting from! Why can't Obama have a talk with those same folks and fix it for us? What's that? The president CAN'T control oil prices? The devil you say!<br />So the dems LIED to me then? Or are they lying to me now? Either way, it seems they are only good at telling lies, not governing.<br />And, BTW, gas prices on Labor Day were at their highest EVER. Flying in the face of Obama's energy policies and his promise to save the middle class. Yup,lying dems, one and all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269991713757970127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-83302171126381431022012-09-20T22:26:30.109-04:002012-09-20T22:26:30.109-04:00I disagree with Anon, about gas prices. The presi...I disagree with Anon, about gas prices. The president can and does use the bully pulpit and leaning to affect, intentionally or not, prices. Now, while the government can't truly reduce prices of petrol, they can definitely make it more expensive. I do believe that Bush and .gov were and are involved with driving prices up. They can't control, except upwardly. If .gov gets out of the way, the price of gas would be around $2, and companies would still make out like bandits. Oh, hush, they are doing extremely well (if saving for when .gov kicks them again). They just lower "profits" by paying their "employees" better. (Which I don't mind, but... hush about this 7% (or whatever sub double-digit) profit margin bologna.)<br /><br />As for gold? That is going up because all currencies are being cut off at the knees. The Euro is crippled, probably dying. The US dollar is being gutted. Chinese currency is more a device of that communist country and completely unacceptable, and oil is part of the problem. That leaves gold, and to a degree silver, until the guys that bought tons of it flood the market and crash that bubble too. Obama didn't do that. Further, McCain would have done the same things Obama did, and with the same disregard for many elements on the left and right of the political divide. Romney? Come on, he IS business.<br /><br />Still, believe if you must. Zero really has to go, but... I am not convinced Romney will switch all that much up, even if he got 2/3rds of congress, somehow, let alone simple majorities. Maybe next election, though, like I said, that... won't get all that much done on these issues or change the debt problems, public and private. Bailouts and QE will continue. <br /><br />Bleh. Too dang much political cotton candy for now. Later.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-60072230994651115652012-08-11T17:47:55.511-04:002012-08-11T17:47:55.511-04:00You go out of your way to make the charts look mor...You go out of your way to make the charts look more dramatic than they actually are. Particularly the gas chart..... Kick the chart back to four years and it looks way different as gasoline actually got HIGHER under Bush in the summer of 2008. AND... the president can't do a damned thing about gasoline prices.... It's a GLOBAL economy.... our gas prices go up and down with the rest of the world. <br />Check out THESE CHARTS!<br /><br />http://www.gilberthetherwick.com/_.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-78176605291428575892012-05-22T23:19:11.455-04:002012-05-22T23:19:11.455-04:00I would also suggest to seriously highlight the at...I would also suggest to seriously highlight the attempt from the Accomplice Media to skew this election again.<br /><br />For those who do not follow politics in the new media forum, all they know about Obama is that he causes tingles in the extremities of media folk and that Romney is a rich Mormon (who had a militia 150 years ago) that hates women, gays, the elderly, hispanics, and blacks.The_Badhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280016918263013439noreply@blogger.com
