ABSOLUTELY ZILCH outside of not going into Iraq again (in a big way) which would cause the standard 10 to 20 cent price rise. Clearly his strategy was to get us out of the ME and he did...and the result is that petro is cheaper. Beyond that, he has zero control
The thread was satire to start with and was started to run counter to the incessant bitching from right wing posters about how he is responsible for the rise in petro but is NEVER responsible for any price drop. Not to complain but this is something like the fourth time I've posted this...
But now it's become sort of fun to watch
EconChick start a new thread every time someone posts on this one--she started something like 3 threads in response to this one and I think we who have been watching (regardless of political affiliation) have been fascinated by the sad display.
Oh... fyi satirical posts... become less satirical when you repeat them again and again and again.... It becomes more like taunting and advertising.
The one thing the last couple POTUS's did do to cause a rise in cost of fuel was this ethanol crap.
I am taunting...my unworthy opponent creates threads to combat a joke...how can you do anything
except point at her and laugh?
You could try the truth.
Gas is under 3 a gallon. Fact.
When the POG rises, conservatives blame Obama. Fact.
When the POG drops, conservatives change the subject. Fact.
Obama has very little control over a rise or fall. Fact.
I started this thread to highlight that. Fact.
I was upfront on page one about the POTUS having little control. Fact.
My unworthy opponent has gone batshit crazy starting multiple threads to counter this satirical thread. Fact.
The only ones not laughing at her are the ones who have either not paid attention or are overcome with pity for her. Fact.
I'll take your advice under advisement but I've been pretty factual and upfront. Compared to the Party of birthers ...it's pretty rich that the right wing loons are bent out of shape by factual reporting all of the sudden.
I chalk it up to their loss of political clout and loosening grip on power. Anger and outrage over minutia are pretty much all that's left.
