Do your own research. The data is there, but based on your prior posting history I'm pretty sure you aren't interested in facts that aren't favorable to your failed President.

I hate to break it to you, but you really can't fix stupid. We're screwed!

Nope, you threw those numbers out, you should at least point out where you got them. Why should we discuss your numbers when we don't know where you even got them? How do we know your source isn't totally biased?

Efectively Congress was run by the Democrats for the last 2 years of his term.

They had control of the country.

Gee, think maybe THAT had something to do with the falling gas prices?

How many people lost their jobs that month?
Something like HALF A MILLION.

"The 2008 tally soars after payrolls shrink by 533,000 in November, the biggest one-month decline in nearly 34 years."

November: Most jobs lost since 1974 - Dec. 5, 2008



There's a REASON gas prices fell off a cliff during the late summer and fall of 2008 - it's called "economic collapse".

Gas Price Historical Price Charts - GasBuddy.com

This time 4 years ago gas prices were higher than they are now (average $4.12/gal) - but off course all GW had to do to get those prices down was wreck the economy.
Well, I guess that's ONE way to do it.

So the next guy fixes the even larger mess Obama created, and will you than be blaming Obama? Or is that not P.C.?

Today and recently for weeks gas price in Ks. $3.20.9.

2008 was the worst year for gas prices.

THe republicans wanted the health care mandate for years. It was written up at the Heritage Foundation. see wikipedia.
Because of a the bill the un-insured rack up at emergency rooms all over the country.
Now the taxpayer is NOT responsible for those bills.
Republicans switched when Obama decided to join them in agreeing. Well , they couldn't very well do that, now could they?
