Nope.

He's a huge improvement over his predecessor.

You seem to be saying less offensive is just great with you, but it is still offensive to those who can actually think.

Plus, I see that you continue on your obamabot trail by not blaming him for high fuel costs but praising him for their fall.
A couple of months ago, this forum was full of posts from RWNJs griping about gas prices and laying the blame on the president. It would be hypocritical of the right to now ignore the significant drop in those prices. It would also be hypocritical to disavow the earlier linkage for hyperpartisan convenience.


Obama's done a good job as president. A particularly sharp contrast to his predecessor.

Mindless, you say...

I remember when I was in high school gas was 27 cents a gallon..... A loaf of bread was 39 cents. A 12 oz coke was 10 cents. Going to see a movie was 50 cents. I worked starting at age 14 for 60 cents an hour.

I considered going back to digging steamers (clams) because that was a easy $13.00 a bushel. I dug clams from age 5 to age 14 because if i wanted anything at all I had to buy it myself.

By age 16 I must have have 40 motorbikes, but at no time did more than 2 of them run. I had motorbikes from age 10 to present. The 2 I have now run just fine.

It's not about the price you pay but rather the idea that we allow Wall Street so much control over the economy.
I got a plow truck that gets less than 8 miles per gallon plowing The govt doesn't get a dime for any of it...... i don't regii it up anymore. I can go buy gas in red jugs, and i do for that and the skid steer bob cat.

My day to day bike gets apx 45 MPG and i ride til first road salt. After that anything i do is 'work' and i write off all that fuel. That ends up almost free
