So, I have one simple question for all of you libtards. What is it EXACTLY that you LIKE about DOUBLE the price of GAS?

I like it because I work in the oil & gas industry. If the price of oil isn't up there, we don't drill.

You do know that gas was at about 1.85/gal when Bush took office, and rose to almost $4/gal during his presidency, right? And also do you know that the economy was tanking when Obama took office, and that's why gas dropped so low?

They won't answer so I'll answer for them.

They like it because it will make people drive less and slow the economy in general, thereby saving the planet from the horrors of global warming.

What we are seeing here in NYC (and I know it is caused by hurricane this time) feels like a preview of Obama's America - once his energy policies go through.

Lines for gas? People waiting hours!!!! It is bad and people are complaining left and right...

Double from June-August 2008 would be $8.24.

Please tell me where in America it is that gas costs that much.

Gas was $1.89 when Obama was sworn in. Huntsman would be disappointed in you for lying.

Yup, and if you had the tiniest modicum of intelligence, you would know how to use Google.

Here's a hint: has was about the same price 4 years ago - and then tanked aling with the economy. You remember, when all the banks were going under and we didn't know if our economy would collapse?

Google price of gas when Obama took office.

I did!

It was $1.89

Huntsman knows I'm right.

You're being disingenuous and you know it.

What was gas 6 months before Obama took office?

Yeah, thought so.

Remember when Republicans pounced on President Obama's July remark that his economic planned "worked"?  Democrats went ballistic, accusing conservatives of taking the president's words "out of context."  He was referring to President Clinton's tax policies, you see, not his programs, per se.  That was the argument, which I contended was a tacit admission that his plans hadn't worked.  Well, guess what The One had to say in Wisconsin just today?
 

We tried our ideas. They worked. The economy grew. We created jobs. Deficits went down. We tried their ideas. They didn't work. The economy...
