Can you explain why people don't move to where the jobs are any more? Why they stay in a depressed area where they have no future?
The history of our nation is built on people moving to where they can be more prosperous. Why the change?
Do they really want polluted rivers? Does West Virginia really want to see all their gorgeous mountain tops dumped into the valleys by mining operations?
I'm having a difficult time making sense of this.
I don't think there has been a change. People still move. The company I used to work for outsourced 90% of the US workforce, and my co-workers moved to where the jobs were. Why would they not?
Obama can not create laws. He was lazy here. He refused to do the work required to actually get a law passed.
When you get a law degree from Harvard and successfully run for the Senate and the presidency perhaps you will earn the right to call someone lazy. The facts here are that when the House turned Republican in 2010 they promised to block him at every turn.
When you review the Obama presidency you seem to do so with venom. Only fools are convinced with hate speech.
The graph from energy.gov say's that you lie.
My lies are more accurate than your facts.
Gas hit all time high in summer 2008 at well over $4.00, but then it came down temporarily just before the election, when the economy collapsed, and that is the only price the Bush loyalists remember. Gas was sky high for 8 years, but they only remember a month or two when it was low. That is partisan politics at its best.

What did Obama do, specifically, to lower gas prices?
He personally didn't lower gas prices. No president controls them. Gas prices are, generally speaking, a reflection of the economy and the stock market.

Or price manipulation by OPEC.
US is on path to becoming the largest oil producer in the world, which gives us some more say in the price games, although the prices at the pump are not expected to go much lower, if at all.

You do not have to convince the House. You have to convince the people.

I'm not sure what anything I said was hate speech.
