Go ahead and watch that video so you know what is going on. That old Jake Tapper is something else, isn't he?

But isn't Obama still blaming Bush as he did in 2008? It is really laughable to see Dems play the blame game and then whine when the tables are turned.

Yeah, just what I thought. Try and find another thread where you can at least discuss the topic, will you?
The higher the gas goes the more they can scream about green energy. The goal is to make green energy competitive with the good stuff. The winners of course will be Obamas green buddies he's been greasing the skids with and the loser will of course be the poor working stiffs who Obama claims to only care about. Why anybody votes for this guy is beyond me.

BB/AB. That is how the dems look at it. Before Bush and After Bush. Before it was all Bush's fault as prez. Now it's everybody elses fault BUT the president. Check a history book in fifty years and the progs will make it so.

True, but obama's green energy agenda is a total debacle, one the GOP will continue to focus on in the summer/fall.

The difference is, the Dems know how to defend against the phony assertion, the Repubs couldn't figure out how.

Republicans won't have to, just wait for the Bubble to pop (the economy) the futher gas goes up the more food cost. Guess who takes a hit on that one. Why else didn't Mcain win, they didn't want to be in the seat when it all goes down.

for example: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/buy-go...ghest-20-years liquor the highest it has been in 20 years, now who is going to get the blame, when you can't afford a drink.

Good luck there.
Most Dems are smart enough to realize that gas is really, really cheap. It's the repubs that sit around obsessing over it.

I'm not worried about the price of gas until it hits $5.
