So when gas was 4 dollars a gallon it was not Bushes fault?

More cars off the road = crowded busses and trains = less people able to get to work = more unemployment.

Obamanomics.

Now you're contradicting self, passing the blame to the predecessors for creating policies.

Do you believe in unregulated free market? If you do, why are you opposed to NAFTA?

Depending on where you live that could be considered average or even short. Also in this economy there are loads of people who would see that as a non-issue.

I never said it was Bush's fault. But it was artificially jacked up price though and it is possible to blame someone for it (or not doing anything about it).

The reality I speak of is not of price gouging, but of natural course. Understand the difference.

If this makes the big oil companies happy with profits I'm all for it. We should all rejoice if the oil companies are happy.

Nancy PROMISED (4 years ago now) us she was going after those mean nasty 2% profit big oil companies.

What happened?

Oh, I know, she has been working on HC and saying NO to everything all this time instead of working on real issues that effect Americans.

Call Nancy, maybe she forgot her promise to us all.
