But the cost of energy is overall down?

Down? From which reference are you drawing this ridiculous conclusion? Costs for electricity and gasoline in the nation, have risen sharply since he took office.

Or is this some more of the same deceitful play on numbers that the democrats used to make the absurd claim that federal spending under Obama increased at it's slowest rate in 60 years?

Here is some info for you dems to ponder:




Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update

All of you lefties that now think Obama is to credit for the price drop, let me ask you something.

Any coincidene that the price is dropping at election time? Almost like big oil is doing their part to help Obama win reelection by dropping the price so they can jackup and rake the consumer for another 4 years, ha?

Obama, in bed with big oil I guess..

May we also attribute the persistant low growth environment we are stuck in to Jimmy Redux, also known as Mr President?

I do think Obama is to credit (indirectly) for lower gas prices - since the election is nearby.

It has not been because of supply, demand, or the international reasons.

I posted an article a way back and it said the speculator portion of gas prices rose from around 35% to around 65% - and how that has never been the case. I think those speculators are now backing off to help Obama's election chances.

I still think gas prices will be at or below $2.50 when the election rolls around (assuming no major events take place).

Its not my job to educate you.
Well when you make the argument the burden of proofs falls to you. So again, you feel that just the simple act of posting a video that says what you want it to say, regardless of how bias the information, is acceptable? Do you understand what context is?

Did you not learn in school the appropriate sources to use?
