Dubya left President Obama with a recession and about 700,000 Unemployed before he was even sworn into office! Gasoline prices were at $4 dollars a gallon in 2008 as well and at least Obama never had ties to Oil companies unlike Dubya & Cheney!...Yes I know! The Republicans will make things all better!
Dubya was at least a twice elected governor of Texas.

I understand your deflection to Bush, since you cannot defend 0bama.

  • Were you thinking, "I hope 0bama keeps Gitmo open, and maintains rendition of suspected terrorists.”
  • Were you thinking, “I really hope 0bama increases the unemployment rate to 9% or 10%.”
  • Were you thinking, “Golly, I really hope 0bama starts printing trillions of US dollars, to monetize our national debt.”
  • Were you thinking, “I hope 0bama keeps the Bush tax cuts in place.”
  • Were you thinking, “I hope 0bama renews those civilian contracts for Halliburton and Blackwater.”
  • Were you thinking, “I hope 0bama cuts $500,000,000,000 from Medicare.”
  • Were you thinking, “I hope prices for a gallon of gasoline soar to over $4.”
  • Were you thinking, “I really hope 0bama runs up at least 1.5 trillion dollar deficits each and every year”.
  • Were you thinking, “I really, really, hope 0bama signs legislation that makes it impossible for businesses and unions to support health care insurance for their employees or union members.”
Please think, in 2012.
I've got my head screwed on straight now, no worries here! To be honest, Obama was not liberal enough for me when I voted in the primaries, I voted for Mike Gravel. I didn't really like Obama that much but I will admit to getting caught up in making history and just voting for him in the election b/c he had a D after his name. Silly (yet typical) liberal I used to be.

Even with Hillary I would have voted for Sarah and that old white haired guy running with her.

It really gets tiresome hearing Lefties slyly attribute what Tina Fey said to Sarah Palin.

SARAH PALIN NEVER SAID SHE COULD SEE RUSSIA FROM HER BACK YARD. Tina Fey said that.

That kind of talk is not fear mongering when Dems say the words. Could it be part of the media- left wing partnership that we are getting those thoughts from?

Gasoline was at about $1.60/gal when 0bama was sworn into office. 0bama's Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, said we must find a way to increase gasoline prices in this country to match those in Eurpoe, and ever since, the price of gas has been going up. He is only doing what he said he wanted to do.

And this as well. I will vote for Obama again in 2012. I don't like any other candidates right now.

Also this is not the first time that gas has been over $4 a gallon in the past 5 years. Where I live it is not over $4 a gallon, plus the president doesn't have any control over that. I didn't blame Bush for the $5 a gallon gas back in 2005 either and he was no better than Obama so I guess all the people who voted form him were full of tumors as well.
Do you think there is need for two people who voted for Obama to be the manager of the Sears Tower? I doubt it but who knows what may come from an Obama voter.

In case you didn't know, by election time the price of gasoline was on a sharp drop because Bush overturned a rule of his father that had to do with drilling in the Gulf. Maybe Obama could do nothing but sit back and all the court ruling he has avoided up to now to allow drilling there take effect. He has broken the law so far concerning that little problem.

Is Fox the media? I keep seeing just the opposite from left handed people on CD.

You are talking about people who voted for 0bama, do you really think paying attention, and looking at the facts is actually a part of their character?
