Since this is something most Americans are likely to recall, it provides the perfect opportunity to point out that this is done on everything:
War....one side does it BAD, the other side GOOD
Protest...one side BAD, the other side GOOD
God Talk...one side BAD, the other side GOOD
Women on the side..one side BAD, the other side GOOD
Snooping on us...one side BAD, the other side GOOD
Extravagant Executive vacations...one side BAD, the other side GOOD and so on and so on and so on. Maybe we can get the point across. The acts are deemed good or bad depending on who is doing them, not on what the act is.

"There are no magic solutions to rising oil prices," said White House press secretary Jay Carney.

That's odd - I recall any number of Democrats and liberals marching before the cameras with boatloads of "magic solutions" when President Bush was in office. The problem at that time was he was just to stupid and in league with the greedy oil barons to implement any of them.

How unfortunate for our "Dear Leader" that out of the blue we have unrest in the Middle East and other complex economic problems plotting against him.

Not to fear though, our "investments in green energy" should start paying dividends any day now.

The glutinous American middleclass is making the gas prices soar

Are you saying we need to add a Quinoa plank to our platform?

If the ONLY thing the Republicans would do between now and November is run ads blaming Obama for high gas prices, then we’d have a good chance of running Sotero out of office. Unfortunately, the GOP seems to have a chronic case of “atesticular syndrome” and is unable to articulate even a simple connect the dots scenario for Americans.

BLAME OBAMA. EVERY DAY. EVERY OPPORTUNITY.

Lets not forget 15 Billion dollars to Brazil, so that they can sell the oil they find to China.

Or that he is putting coal fired electric plants out of business and electricity will skyrocket making it hard to fuel his electric cars.

Not to mention the people out of work who would have built the pipeline and dug the coal.

Nice try, Jay, you anemic twerp. How about that Obama ban on drilling in the Gulf for two years after the BP drilling accident? We could certainly be using the oil that should be on the market, were it not for BO and his lackey, Salazar.

Way beyond the pipeline - we are sitting on self dependance and can’t touch it...Tar and feathers time - we are being screwed and just sitting back and taking it.

“WASHINGTON, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Under fire from Republicans over rising gasoline prices...”

Yeah Reuters, everyone else is peachy-keen about the high gas prices Obama’s policies have caused- except for those mean Republicans...

The White House later argued that it was unfair to single out the administration over prices at the pump.

Like the way the Democrats held George Bush responsible for Hurricane Katrina?

OO, OO! Let me guess . . . . it’s BUSH’S FAUUUUUUULLLLLLLTTT!!

Nope, Obama owns this one 100% and America knows it.

We should have taken zero at his word during the ‘08 campaign when he uttered the only truthful thing he’s EVER said: “That’s above my paygrade”. It appears the EVERY difficult decision that has come his way is “above his paygrade”.

Really? Cut the federal gas tax for awhile. Easy fix to do.

The feds earn 9-10 times what gas companies earn on each gallon of gas. Yet the gas companies are the evil ones. And without them making the stuff, got wouldn’t be able to make ten times what the gas companies do.
