FLASHBACK: Fox News On Gas Prices In 2008 - YouTube#!
@ 1:00


Fox News Resumes Perennial Gas Price Charade - YouTube
@0:50

In 2008: Not Bush's fault. 2012? Totally Obama's fault. Deliberate policy to drive Americans into using alternate forms of energy.

Fair and balanced, eh?

Yeah, that was also when country singers couldn't criticize the President. Boy, things change when your side loses the election!

Sadly the right has turned into a bunch of over-emotional children who blame Obama for what is mostly the result of Republican policy.

Those defending Obama also blamed Bush. In the end though a president can set an agenda that does effect things like this. Does Obama's threats to Iran cause an increase in oil? Yes. Same with Bush.

As I've said many times, both will be swimming at the bottom of the presidential pool.

Another day, another stupid thread. Reporting that gas prices are high in 2012, is NOT blaming the president, its a FACT. Where the hell do you live where that isnt true?

Furthermore, it was OBAMA HIMSELF, who set the standard by saying high gas prices were a result of failed energy policies.

The emotional, irrational types are far more visible on the right. Have a poke around here. You'll see plenty of people blaming Obama for the economy when in reality its the result of the recession caused by deregulation of the banking industry. Guess which party did and still does champion de-regulating banks. I'll give you a hint. It rhymes with epublican.

The stupidity around here is annoying. The people who got D's in school somehow didn't get the message that they're not that intelligent.

What part of the report is wrong?
Report Finds Obama Policies to Blame for High Energy Prices - By Andrew Stiles - The Corner - National Review Online

Was Obama lying when he said that high gas prices were a result of bad Presidential policies?

I'm sorry I don't follow. What part of, "Sadly the right has turned into a bunch of over-emotional children who blame Obama for what is mostly the result of Republican policy." are you debating here? I wasn't really talking about energy policies.

I haven't heard him change his policies lately, but gas prices have fallen. Well, he did do that 52 million dollar thing.
