Amazing how these things work.


Where’s the outrage over the high gas prices? (http://joepritchett.com/2011/03/03/wheres-the-outrage-over-the-high-gas-prices/ - broken link)
I have a simple question…where’s the outrage over gasoline prices reaching $3.50 and way over $4.00 a gallon in some places. In March. If George W. Bush were in office every cable news channel and every crooked reporter would be burning flags in protest. I remember those days, it was only three years ago.

67% rise in gas prices and where is the outrage?
This is the President that appointed a Secretary of the Interior that famously said he "didn't mind if gas hit $10 a gallon."



Gas prices reached their high in July of 08................

I just saw on Nightline where gas prices are at an all time historical high for the month of April.

Some of predicting $5.00 gallon gas by Summer.

Where is your "Hope & Change" at now Mr. President?

The primary reason gas prices have gone up is because the Obama Adminstration has been printing new money.

Same reason clothing and food has gone up.

Obama'a Economy.

You're right. it couldn't be supply and demand or specualtion, I think Obama is also to blame for the Tsunami in Japan.

In one of the more useful news broadcasts I watched last night, it was reported that while Middle East unrest is playing a small part in gas prices, the biggest culprit during this round of increased prices (as opposed to 2008) was the weaking dollar. Barrels are priced, worldwide, in dollars and the dollar is so weak it is causing the spike.

I'm sure, depending on your perspective, we will all have different ideas as to who is to blame for that.

I know, the gas prices are nearly back up to where Obama had them in the summer of 2008. Despicable, I tell ya!

If you don't like the way Bush is handling gas prices you shouldn't have voted to keep him in office for a third term. Some people even want him re selected for a FOURTH term.
Bush must be as great as FDR.
$3.75 a gallon in SE Pa.

That report sounds awfully close to the Domino Theory.
