A question for DUers from a former DUer (have at it)

102. That was a real scream

"Gas is over $3 and in some places near $4...Gas was $1.80 when Obama took office. Not the day of the election, mind you: the DAY HE TOOK OFFICE."

Huh. I don't remember the last time I paid less than two dollars a gallon for gas. I honestly don't. Before 9/11/2001 I would guess. I know that on that date, gas prices at some stations were up over $4 and $5 a gallon, and there were some station owners in hot water over price gouging too. Most of the Shrub years, gas was over $3 a gallon, where I lived. I'd wonder what the source is for the idea that the gas was $1.80. I know one would get propaganda if asked for the source of this gem.

Most of the rest of it is personal attacks. Food inflation is high. Gas is high. What is this Einstein's solution to this? GOVERNMENT price controls? I'd advise this poster to talk to the folks that run the industry about the high food prices; what's wrong? Don't like capitalism so much? How about them bootstraps they are always talking about?

"Obama and his attack dog, Cankles Clinton*, have aircraft carriers circling Iran." You'd think this would make a RWer happy, since they seem to get giddy at the thought of fighting interminable wars and love beating the war drums when it comes to Iran.

*I had to look up this "Cankles Clinton" slur. I see it has been in use for some time. How have I missed it? If she is such a bad, bad, evil person, why do they have to resort to her ankles to attack her? Oh yes, because she is a woman and all that matters to RWers about women are their bodies. I was thrown; usually when they are in attack mode they are more concerned about women's reproductive organs. Luckily for America, Clinton has more integrity in her pinky finger than a convention hall full of RWers.
