13. Yes the silence has been deafening.

The R's and the MSM would not stop talking about it when gas prices were up, but now that the prices are going back down- nothing, crickets.

I think the problem for us is that we are too honest to twist the falling prices into a positive for President Obama as the R's would do if one of theirs was in the WH. That is one part of it anyway.

The other is that even if some on our side were to make that point, the MSM would just ignore it and them; finding some other RW meme (such as the current Fast and Furious BS) to hit us over the head with.
