Obama:"I'd like higher gas prices'.. Well Bud.. YOU got your wish!

[velvtacheeze]

Gas per gallon went higher under Bush, and he and his party got hammered over it. They deserved it too. It was their fault.

The price now is really just the free market, although some seriously onerous regulation on the futures market would do a lot of good for drivers. But the GOP wouldn't go for that.

LOLOLOLOLz~

And there it is folks. Under Bush prices "reached" higher because of Bush and Republicans, but under Obama despite at points getting VERY close to the levels of costs that of Bush, but overall holding an average higher cost than Bush it's "free markets" that suddenly became free out of nowhere....

So who made the markets free? Was it Bush? Or was it Obama? What happened to make these markets "free?" What happens if we find out there are more regulations????

Gas prices skyrocketed under Bush because of his hamhanded aggressiveness in the Middle East. Once Obama corrected the GOP mistake of the Iraq War, the prices went back down.

If they don't go back down to where they were under Clinton, too bad. The Chinese are in the market now more than ever, and aren't going away. And American's aren't helping their cause either by buying trucks and SUVs too big for their needs, raising speed limits and then exceeding them, and living fifty miles from work. You only have yourselves to blame.

We need to use less gas. We need to NEED less gas.

Its stupid that we cannot move into the 21st century.

It's stupid that you want government to artificially drive demand for products that suck harder than an idiot libtard Dumbocrat.

When you create "green" energy which is better and cheaper than fossil fuels, the people will flock to it in droves of their own free will.

Until then, shut the fuck up, because you sound like an idiot telling a free people what you think they "need". Typical arrogant asshole liberal....

The ONLY thing stupid is you and your arrogant belief that you need to tell the American people what they "need".

Stop trying to defend the indefensible, stupid. If a Republican president intentionally caused energy prices to skyrocket, you'd have a fuck'n aneurism and you know it.

Show some class for once in your miserable life and stop being a partisan hack.

Surely rw's are not so dumb as to believe that he has any control over gas prices.

Nope. Looks like you do believe that the president of the US can control gas prices.

Jeeeez.

That's not entirely true. The various regulatory agencies that report directly to the president (the EPA, DoE, DoT) fiddle with gas production numbers through regulation. New refineries cannot be built without those various agencies getting involved, nor can new technologies reach the market (engines, fuel additives, and the like) with government involvement. The president might not be able to say "gas will now cost X dollars/gal" (although price fixing under FDR and Nixon says otherwise), but the White House has a tremendous amount of power in the market through the subordinate agencies.

you blamed bush for high gas prices

Already a butthurt thread on their earlier today from the right wingers. Is fox dumping this crap into your feeble minds once again for the sudden parroting? I'm sure they are,...

What? Are prices not up for gas? Is Obama not President? Did Obama not say many times he wanted fuel costs to go up?

Wtf is wrong with "you people?" No matter what party is in power there is a group of mindless haters that defend their own no matter how bad things get and attack "the other side" out of what seems more like habit than because they have an actual reason.

No, intelligent democrats know that OPEC controls the gas prices. Dumb ass right wingers think the president does, and every time it goes it, it's "da libs and o'bummers" fault.

I read that far....

BUSH ENDED IRAQ, IT LITERALLY ENDED ON HIS FUCKING TIMETABLE. Obama tried to keep us in Iraq. And to even try and make Bush out to be worse than Obama on the middle east is a fucking joke.

Obama Expanded Iraq, Obama expanded Afghanistan, Obama fucked up Egypt, Obama fucked up Pakistan, Obama fucked up Syria. Obama spends far more than Bush on military spending, and yet Obama won the liberal peace price.

Bush was bad, horrible even, but you people are fucking outright stupid.

So congress never looked into price gouging under Bush? Because you just told me the President has nothing to do with the cost of fuel yet Democrats made it seem like Bush was running the show. Or are you admitting Bush had 100% nothing to do with the cost of gas, unlike other crazy liberals in this very thread have already done.

The Chinese have "been in the market" since the early 1900's you ignorant tool...

In fact, as early as 1931 China began manufacturing automobiles themsleves...

The level of lying and mind numb ignorance displayed in this thread by the obama ass kissing club is simply astounding.

Leftards know no bounds of stupidity and lying when it comes to covering for their messiah.

Going to really love watching them get their filthy little commie asses kicked next year at the ballot boxes. People are really getting sick of them and their pathetic bull shit lies and trash talk.

I get a kick out of Right Wing Crazy Rage. Too funny.

Obama kept Bush's timetable on leaving Iraq mostly because Iraqis insisted on it. Good for them. So did Obama's liberal supporters. We needed to get out of there, and never should have gone in. Dumbya and the GOP thought they'd get Iraq to change its mind before the final day came, and the proven-wrong Neocons went all poopy diaper when Obama didn't get Iraq to rewrite the withdrawal agreement. Neocons have even laughablly blamed the current violence in Iraq on Obama for leaving Iraq, and this criticism that is ignored because its credibility.

Listen, there's no rewriting the politics here. The GOP's reputation for sound foreign policy judgement was destroyed by its awful management of the Iraq War. The GOP justifiably got pounded for it, first in 2006, then in 2008. You need to accept this fact. The GOP has lost two Presidential elections in a row. Admit that it was mostly the GOP's incorrect Iraq War policy.

No, it was the right wing propaganda machine and their useful idiots claiming Obama was going to give us $8 a gallon gas

Was Bush at fault or not, liberals?

Was Obama at fault or not, reactionaries?

Both sets of false claimers need to pull their heads out of their butts.

Gas is cheaper than it was two years ago at the time.

You can't evade the truth: Weekly U.S. Regular All Formulations Retail Gasoline Prices (Dollars per Gallon)

Holy hell are you a fat, ignorant, Velveta cheese eating Dumbocrat...

Their role in the market pales in comparison to what it is now, hence the higher prices today.

And what do American conservatives do to make things worse? Drive fast, increase speed limits, buy huge swollen cars & trucks, live fifty miles from work, demand we threaten war in the middle east again & again.......and then have the nerve to wonder why gasoline is so high

Want lower gas prices? Drive slower, drive shorter commutes, buy smaller more full efficient cars, leave Iran, Iraq, etc the f___ alone. These will work.

 

[healthmyths]

I have yet to read any comment regarding these real facts... so I am repeating them

Oil and Gas Statistics

From 2001 to 2008 Bush approved 23,569 leases or an average of 2,946 leases per year
From 2009 to 2012 Obama approved 7,297 leases or an average of 1,824 leases per year!

More then 60% less in Federal approved oil leases by Obama then what Bush did.
Simple economics of market supply states you increase the supply you lower the price.

It takes about 3 to 5 years from letting a lease to production.
Those leases Bush approved have been in production BUT..
Obama's reducing new leases means there will be less oil from Federal land and therefore higher prices!
Simple as that!
