OBAMANOMICS: LABOR FORCE DOWN, GAS PRICES UP

While Obama boasts an unemployment finally pushed under 8% by the labor force shrinking small enough, the prices his energy policies have spawned continue to climb. On October 4th, per-gallon prices in some areas were well over $4 a gallon. And on October 5, they actually crossed the five dollar line. Moreover, pump and fill-station shutdowns due to fuel shortages continue in California.

Most do not remember Jimmy Carter and the lines at the pump.

But so many fewer have given iup that the “raw” numbers are meaningless - if Zero and his folks are touting a huge drop in unemployment, you can take it to the bank. However you should be very careful because the bank will charge you extra for trying to kite that check...

Too bad CA is conquered territory, otherwise the rage over these gas prices might have an impact in November.

[television is just wrong]

yea, but a lot of us do remember Jimmy Carter and that whole fiasco.
