Simpy, do you REALLY want us to cite the host of posts by your team BLAMING Obama for high gasoline prices?

..." I recognize that your vote counts just as much as mine does..." A giant step for mankind! That's why the Repugs need to discourage voting at all costs...any roadblock to voting is to be encouraged. IDs, poll taxes, education requirements, testing of any sort. Hidden or at least, inconvenient, polling places. Same for days and hours. Since the Dems vastly outnumber the Repugs they must use every scheme possible to block voting, especially minority voting.

"Take a look at this: gas under $3 a gallon -- under $3 a gallon. Unemployment under 6%, whoever thought? Stock market breaking records every day. No wonder the guy is so unpopular. A friend directed me to your post because he thought I would find it amusing. I don't, in that I recognize that your vote counts just as much as mine does. Trust me, I don't find any of you amusing at all. Quite the contrary, I find you all very disturbing. The only way Barack Obama could conceivably take credit for the decline in the price of gas would be if he had in some way contributed to the increase in domestic gas production. Anyone who has not been living in a cave for the past six years knows that private drillers have been responsible for that increase and, if anything, the president has stood in the way of domestic production. Obama has stepped aside and let oil producers grow their industry much to the unhappiness of his base. You all should be thankful............but of course, that would be a rational response on your parts. The real unemployment rate is over 12%, when the ‘marginally attached’ portion of the potential labor force is included. But the unemployment figures no longer include such under-employed, or chronically unemployed, people, so your 6% figure is meaningless, except for those who want to credit Barack Obama will ‘successes’ he didn’t earn. Oh stop with your so called real unemployment. Do any of you think for yourselves? Fox News comes up with a meme or a conspiracy theory, and you all hop on. This country is doing a hell of a lot better economically than it was in 2008. In some states.......not red states of course..........things are booming. There are so many building cranes in my city's DT area we're thinking of making it the state bird. The stock market levels are a mirage brought about, in large part, by quantitative easing. The Fed’s manipulation of the markets borders on criminal, and when the fiscal/economic chickens come home to roost, your crowing about the stratospheric levels of the market are going to result in major egg on your face, and a lot less money in your pocket (and your pension). Yeah, everything is a mirage only when you all want it to be a mirage. I am tired of your overactive imaginations. Speaking of which, seen any dinosaurs lately? But feel free to proceed with your rose-colored glasses scenario, and good luck looking to David Letterman for an accurate appraisal of the state of the republic. Thank you, I will. Obama has made this country a much better place despite R obstructionism, and I will be forever grateful to him.

Simplicity, If I may......... When you attempt to have an intelligent discussion with Tejek, try to picture a 3 year old that was told FREE ICE CREAM in 10 minutes on the other side of the discussion. Then you will understand the constant recital of talking points from msnbc, politico,. and the democratic underground coming from this mindless person with a one-track mind. Then ask yourself, I wonder which of these libtards lies ALL OF THE TIME. At that point look across to your intended discussion opponent who is at that moment typing another lie, unable to substantiate it with facts or links. This libtard actually believes that gas is cheaper now that when Bush was President. It's impossible to rationalize with an such a moron. The sad part is that if he's not lying, he belongs in an institution with 24/7 monitoring.
