and back to gas that was less than 3.00 dollars a gallon

Gas was almost $5 a gallon the summer before Bush left office and unemployment was almost 9% when Obama took office.

$4.11 national average, actually and by election day, the national average was $1.72. Unemployment was 6.8% on election day and 7.8% on inauguration day.
Interestingly, on 1/1/07 when the Democratic majority Congress was seated, unemployment was 4.6%
Liberals never seem to acknowledge that the shit hit the fan not long after pelosi got the gavel and thus the purse strings.

And now we are talking about Congress, Bush was still the President. Actually the unemployment went down the first 6 months Democrats took control of congress. So you think it was the few month that Democrats were in office that crahed the economy? The 10 years before that the Republicans had control of Congress, had nothing to do with it?

What is you think Democrats did to crash the economy in thos 6 months?

How Reaganomics Destroyed The Middle Class...And Maybe America - YouTube

President Reagan campaigned on an explicitly articulated, four-point economic program to reverse this slow motion collapse of the American economy:

1. Cut tax rates to restore incentives for economic growth, which was implemented first with a reduction in the top income tax rate of 70% down to 50%, and then a 25% across-the-board reduction in income tax rates for everyone. The 1986 tax reform then reduced tax rates further, leaving just two rates, 28% and 15%.

2. Spending reductions, including a $31 billion cut in spending in 1981, close to 5% of the federal budget then, or the equivalent of about $175 billion in spending cuts for the year today. In constant dollars, nondefense discretionary spending declined by 14.4% from 1981 to 1982, and by 16.8% from 1981 to 1983. Moreover, in constant dollars, this nondefense discretionary spending never returned to its 1981 level for the rest of Reagan’s two terms! Even with the Reagan defense buildup, which won the Cold War without firing a shot, total federal spending declined from a high of 23.5% of GDP in 1983 to 21.3% in 1988 and 21.2% in 1989. That’s a real reduction in the size of government relative to the economy of 10%.

3. Anti-inflation monetary policy restraining money supply growth compared to demand, to maintain a stronger, more stable dollar value.

4. Deregulation, which saved consumers an estimated $100 billion per year in lower prices. Reagan’s first executive order, in fact, eliminated price controls on oil and natural gas. Production soared, and aided by a strong dollar the price of oil declined by more than 50%.

Reaganomics Vs. Obamanomics: Facts And Figures - Forbes

Facts? Spending reductions? Reagan tripled the National Debt. Yes selling arms to Iran and other Middle East countries may have have lowered oil prices but at what cost? Cheap Chinese crap may have saved consumers money on products but it it cost them their jobs and quality products.

You have liberal facts and facts that exist in reality
You are using a liberal fact

Romney = more Bush

True, given the fact Romney would return many Bush Era retreads to his administration; and given the fact Romney is weak and indecisive, he would give free rein to these administrators to implement the same failed policies from the Bush years.
