Don’t be silly It would be racist to be outraged
Its okay Osama is president!
If only the US were an oil-producing country ... oh wait ...
While filling up, I curse Bush, Cheney and Halliburton for these &*#% high gas prices. Doesn’t do any good, but it tweaks liberal ears.
Express your rage in the voting booth!...Landslide the Kenyan Catastrophe out on his ass!
This is what happens when you live in a country as politically corrupt as this one where the two privileged parties are getting rich at your expense while pretending to care about you. We live in a kleptocracy.
Next time you visit, prices will be even higher percentagewise.
Obama blames speculators for high gasoline prices
(AFP) – 1 day ago
ANNANDALE, Virginia — US President Barack Obama blamed oil “speculators” on Tuesday for soaring gasoline prices that risk weighing down the US recovery and could dampen his 2012 election hopes.
“It is true that a lot of what’s driving oil prices up right now is not the lack of supply. There’s enough supply. There’s enough oil out there for world demand,” Obama said at a campaign-style event not far from Washington.
“The problem is, is that oil is sold on these world markets, and speculators and people make various bets, and they say, ‘you know what, we think that maybe there’s a 20 percent chance that something might happen in the Middle East that might disrupt oil supply,’” he said.
“’So we’re going to bet that oil is going to go up real high.’ And that spikes up prices significantly,” said the president, who recently launched his reelection campaign.
When I saw the actual video - with all the stuttering and stammering - I nearly puked.
This fool knows as much about the economics of why gasoline is higher as does the dog (bleep) in my back yard. Which reminds me... I gotta go scoop.
The Ghouls in the media and press are protecting Obama once again.
Remember when Bush was in office and it went to $3 a gallon and the media along with the press were going ballistic?
Now we have $4 to $5.00 a gallon and there is nothing but silence.
You know what else I noticed...?
When Bush was President, whenever the press referred to the price of a barrel of oil, they used the Brent Crude price.
Now that Obama is President, whenever the press refers to the price of a barrel of oil, they use the WTI crude price.
Guess what? Brent crude is *always* higher by 10+%.
Interesting.
“Gas Prices..where is the outrage”
Everybody is stitting on the fat asses whining...No time for anything else.
What would be the point of outrage? Would it make the price go down? Yeah it sucks paying so much, and it’s good to keep in mind who’s been screwing things up lately to make the prices this high next election round, but outrage is a pointless thing most of the time. It’s just anger for the sake of anger, and I outgrew that in my 20s.
At $5/gal, the average driver might pay $3000/year for gas. I pay more than that a quarter in property taxes alone, and I'm hardly rich.

American slaves will just pay it.
every time you hear somebody b!tch about the price of gas, ask them who they voted for... if they voted for the boy, tell they got what they voted for
I think the higher it goes the better the government likes it. the gas taxes are a percentage of the cost. which means the higher the prices the more money in taxes the government gets. They have no incentive to fight to lower the prices and every reason to cheer for them to raise.
