Obama's Record
Remember gas less than $2?
Labels: barack obama
This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

Excellent response, 12:06.
Funny how Obama seems to have inherited everything negative set in motion by MiniBush.

Do I remember when gas was less than $2 a gallon? I remember when the oil cartel didn't run national politics. Under Bush, the price went up to over $4 then as soon as record profits were made, the prices miraculously fell under $2 again right before the next election cycle. The oil cartels owned Bush and Cheney carried out their order to a T, including going to war under false pretenses. Prices will go up higher in this new election cycle, the oil cartels put in one of their own and they will do anything they can to take out a duly elected president whom they consider not to be friendly. Just like the Grant administrations, history will sort all this out.

12:06.....lied about WMD?? Then I guess Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry etc. lied about it too, right? You liberals always seem to forget that huh??
Pre 9/11 "failures"....Hmmmmm I seem to remember Jamie Gorelick of the Clinton Admin, had a "firewall" in place so agencies could not share intelligence....so your saying what Clinton had done over 8 years, Bush could have undone all the damage in 6 months?? REALLY???
Your ALL conspiracy nuts....with nothing but liberal whack job sites re-enforcing your deranged thinking......Keep on blaming Bush PLEASE...keep at it, and watch your messiah get defeated in a landslide of epic proportions in 2012.
The blame Bush meme has lost all of it's steam.....it is a losing issue....if that is all Zero has to campaign on then he's finished!!

Remember when Bush---at a White House correspondents' dinner--looked under a chair and joked "No weapons of mass destruction HERE !!!" Such a funny guy. And he says his biggest regret as President was not privatizing Social Security.
If you vote for Romney, you'll get the exact same bullshit.

Gas in the U.S. is still cheaper than nearly anywhere else in the world. It's cheaper than in Canada which produces so much oil that it is an exporter of oil.
Everything is relative.

12:06... I stopped reading with responsible for pre-911 failure.
So O got a pass his ENTIRE FIRST YEAR for the economy. Even when his stimulus plan FAILED he blamed W.
But, W 8 months into his term is to blame for the 8 years of Clinton's foreign policy?
Need references... '93 WTC, '98 embassy bombings- BOMBINGS- that means 2, USS Cole, Riyadh Military barracks, Dharhan Air Force Base, Beirut embassy...
Yet W failed at pre-9/11 intelligence.
Clinton and liberal dems are SOLELY responsible on the American side for over 3000 deaths.
But you keep living in your fantasy land.
And remembering W... I remember feeling safe 1 wk after 9/11, I remembering being able to afford school, a hour, a car, getting a job when I graduated from college, getting paid well, living well.
I remember W... I can remember being able to afford a lot of things!

He is already talking about dumping Biden.....think they are a little worried? I can see you are by dredging up "it's Bushes fault" mantra....good luck with that....you'll need it!!

Bring back George Bush !!!!!!!!
We would never have an economic crisis un Bush !!!
We would not be in an extended war in a country not responsible for 911 !!!!
We would never have the government bail-out private industries who are too Big To Fail !!
We would not have the goverment breaking the constitution and allowing un-warranted wire-taps !!!!

William Hill Plc is a U.K. bookmaker with 2350 shops that is in the process of buying several U.S. bookmaking operations.
Current odds are 6-1 on Romney and 28-1 on Palin becoming president, with Obama the heavy favorite at 4-9. In other words, you have to bet $9 to make $4 if you pick Obama.

You're right, it's not Bushes fault, it's Cheney's.
The worst president ever - he will be blamed for many things for many years to come, and rightfully so.

If you are going to waste your holiday playing Hatfields and Mccoys, couldn't you at least have picked something local to talk about? You people are worse than sheep-losers.

All I know is things have gotten worse by the year and now they get worse by the month. I am not interested in the blame game however I sure don't see any change making anything better for Americans while they struggle, the change makes things worse by the day.

Bush did not lie about WMD. He was given bad intelligence information. And, even our allies believed it.
And, now look at Iraq that is now doing so well without Sadam Hussain.
And, what about Obama that put us in a war in Libya? He never declared an act of war like he was suppose to.

Where are the jobs? All that similus money spent on what? City and states budget's deficits? Is Obama going to keep bailing out cities and states that are broke until the US deficit is so great that the US goes broke?
No more bailouts of city and state's budgets. A three trillion deficit is enough. Enough is Enough.
