Gas prices when Bush took office under a GOP-controlled Congress in January 2001: $1.49

Gas prices when Dems took control of Congress in January 2007: $2.10

Percent increase from Jan. 2001 to Jan. 2007: 41%

Gas prices today (July 2008): $4.11

Percent increase from Jan. 2007 to today (July 2008): 95%

In other words, it’s taken the Dems only 18 months to do what Bush and the GOP couldn’t do in six years: nearly double the price of gas! But in Fantasy World, the 41% gas price increase under Bush and Friends counts, but the 95% gas price increase under the Dems doesn’t count. Got that?
