The writer, editor, and publisher couldn't resist their tingly urge to carry water for the Kenyan-born Muzzie.

Indeed!

Price of a gallon of regular at the pump was $4.55 here today and has been steadily rising daily. This is due to people driving less, not depleting the gas supply that was purchased at high rates by the station owners earlier, creating supply and demand dilemma. The prices will remain elevated until the current stocks are used up and replaced by more purchased at a new rate.

On the news this morning, the administration has formed a task force to study the supply/demand problem. Some of the recommendations so far; drive more to reduce the existing supplies; drive faster than the posted speed limits further speeding up the reduction of current supplies; over inflate your tires (so that when hitting a pot hole or a speed bump, you get more bounce for your buck); consider taking advantage of coupons offered by supermarkets in locations further away from your local supermarket and making your grocery purchases there (this will balance out if your neighbors in other counties do likewise); eliminate car pooling (it's simply unAmerican).

The average national price of a gallon of gas on Wednesday was $3.83, according to AAA’s Daily Fuel Gauge Report. On April 4, when Obama announced his reelection effort, the average price was $3.69.


The average price of gasoline in mid January 2009 when Obama was sworn in was around $1.62/gal. It has risen steadily since that time.

:’) I shouldn’t snicker, it’s better than even money that he’ll actually try that.

And that’s give or take *another* crisis and/or disaster — and without actually thinking about it, he’s had at least one every three weeks since he entered office, the earlier ones were entirely his struggles to destroy the US through legislation.

Obama’s what happens when racist idiots vote for an effective version of Carter and get it.

I don’t know if ‘effective’ really covers the current office holder’s combination of incompetence and malevolence. I think the difference between Carter and him is more in the presence of the malevolence. Carter just seems naive, not malevolent. He was, is, an American, after all, for all his faults. Carter too was able to get some things done - selling the Presidential yacht, abandoning the Panama Canal, successfully fending off an aquatic attack-rabbit.

I don’t see any question about Obama’s effectiveness in getting legislation passed (until he lost the Congress because, you guessed it, he got legislation rubberstamped by Pelosi’s and Reid’s criminal gangs from the Party of Treason). He’s also effective in foreign policy — we just recognize the fact that what he’s accomplishing are not in US interests. Just because he’s our enemy, and the enemy of the United States (as he’s stated numerous times, though not in those exact words), doesn’t make him ineffective. :’)

I didn’t have much of a protest about it. But ‘effective’ doesn’t sit right on him because it ignores his incompetence, though the malevolent part has been effective, true. He’s in many ways a puppet, doing what he’s told, reading what’s written for him from a teleprompter. Look at him. Mistakes are spun as if they were meant to be like that - Libya, foot dragging on getting their agenda through when they had all the votes. He’s had a lifetime of being an ‘affirmative action hire’. And this is just a continuation of that.

I hope that means that in 2012 he’ll be ejected from one blowhole or the other.

The Pubbies are doing this right — the full impact of Obamacare will hit in time to be used as a campaign issue in 2012, and shouldn’t be used as a drumbeat until then. Except by Trump, since he’s already running. But he’s not really a Pubbie anyway.

Don’t go away mad, just go away.
He runs again, for real, and he’s gonna get a worse shellacking than ANY second term President EVER.

I agree. They trash Palin non stop and lift up their boy non stop - the MSM doing what they do - spreading propaganda. I believe nothing they are associated with - polls, included.
