Dear right-wing bloggers: Please congratulate Obama on gas prices

[Marzupialis]

Because gas prices have fallen, and according to the Right, the President controls when and by how much gas prices change.

f**ing hypocritical idiots.

1. Yeah, I'll hold my breath and wait.

2. They will now argue "The President has nothing to do with gas prices."

Fox Now Asking: Is The Drop In Gas Prices A Bad Thing?

Earlier this year, Fox News hyped the rise in gasoline prices, blaming President Obama even though experts agree that worldwide market factors, not U.S. policies, set gas prices. So what is Fox saying now that gas prices are falling?

Fox Business

Seriously.

You know who else sees the drop in gas prices as a bad thing? Republican strategists who were hoping to reap the political benefits of high gas prices at the polls this year.

Stuart Varney, the Fox Business host pictured at the top, tried to explain the claim that the recent gas price drop might be "BAD," saying it may be "just a sign of a weakening economy." The Wall Street Journal reported that one of the reasons for the drop in gas prices was the "softening economies in the U.S. and Europe," along with easing tensions in Iran and changes in the oil market.

4. Exactly, can you even imagine progressives

saying that the President controls gas prices when it suits their political argument, and later suggesting that the president has no control over gas prices when it doesn't? It's just ridiculous.

5. Let's be clear: President Obama's policies have SUCCEEDED.

Without a necessary adjustment in the price of oil, we could not intensify the heat on the republicanist energy cartels and start with the production of solar and wind powered technologies as we have been able to do. I would consider his policies a resounding success, no matter what the rethug shits bleat out of their disgustingly rabid mouths.
