Showing Original Post only (View all)A question for DUers from a former DUer (have at it) [View all]
This is copied from a far right leaning blog. They asked a question of DUers and we get the chance to answer for a change.
From a former DUer......
Gas is over $3 and in some places near $4. Food inflation is so high that you guys have threads devoted to bargain-shopping. Obama approves of drones filling the AMERICAN skies. Guantanamo is STILL open and will be for the foreseeable future. Obama and his attack dog, Cankles Clinton, have aircraft carriers circling Iran. The feds bust medical marijuana clinics whenever their stash runs low. Your Occupy Wall Street movement has become exactly that: a movement, only of the bowel variety. All that, plus more and more of the jobs that your unions have bargained for you the right to show up at drunk and high are going overseas.
Gotta ask - WHAT exactly do you see in your Dear Leader?
Gas was $1.80 when Obama took office. Not the day of the election, mind you: the DAY HE TOOK OFFICE.

Gas prices were low when Obama took office because there was a deep recession and demand was low

Oooh, nice chart. That chart must be for the price of regular unleaded gasoline.

Ever since they added wheels to aircraft carriers the price of gas has been soaring.

A response: I'm sorry you're too stupid to understand how supply and demand affect oil prices

I think it was about that when BushCo took office, and it was during his 8 years that it soared.

If that was ever a former DUer, then it was one of their moles who got caught.
