"I guess you didnt mind this, though: 'The Washington Times, September 14, 1990...The Bush administration yesterday launched an advertising blitz telling Americans they could fight oil shortages and high gas prices by conserving, while advising Congress there is no sign of price gouging by the oil industry and that gas prices are "not unreasonable." The slogan for the yearlong campaign, "Do Your Part, Drive Smart," tells consumers they can save more than 7 million gallons of gasoline a day if they keep their tires properly inflated, drive slower and join car pools.'
Turning the election into an Anti-Bush election helps nobody. I also will say I didnt mind it, no...and you know why? Because I discount most of what Bush said since I think he is pretty useless too, so lets just keep focused on the topic at hand which is Obama.

This was 1990, Bush I.
The point I was trying to make is that the Republicans said the same exact thing, but you're complaining now that Obama's pointing it out. He's not spending a lot of money on a big campaign, either, unlike the Rs. He just mentioned it.
Is it just who's telling you that makes the difference? "Who's Your Nanny!"

Nope, I still dont care to debate the past...especially not Bush I, he isnt running here, and it isnt 1990 with .99 gas either.

.99 was expensive them "[Y]ou're complaining now that Obama's pointing it out. He's not spending a lot of money on a big campaign, either, unlike the Rs. He just mentioned it.

All that said (again), I dont care either. But it is interesting that you all dont mind hearing the same message, and much more expensively, as long as it's from the voice of your choice.

Wow, you know me so well...Im 101% behind Bush I and Bush II
I dont think people are all that dumb, I think they are selfish and are not willing to make small sacrafices...people know to check their air pressure...they are too lazy. They are also too selfish to give up their SUVs and cars that get 12-15 MPG....just my opinion, doesnt make it fact.
I see what you're saying ...
but at what point does selfishness that causes one's own harm, become stupidity?
LMAO! So true. That's like an American saying 5 years ago. "Give us some credit. We don't need elite politicians telling us not to accept variable rate interest only loans at a ridiculous % rate" Then comes 2007.

t206, you're missing the point. His message was not informational in the sense you describe, but relative to offshore drilling being a realistic solution to our energy crisis.

Well the sad thing is that people SHOULDNT need that, but sadly they do.
I just wish everyone would be a little more pro-active and responsible for themselves so we could all be a little better off as a whole. It seems like as time goes by, people care less and less about doing the right thing...even when it directly impacts their own quality of life. Its pretty sad.
