Had to be in their seventies. The sweet little lady had a tee shirt on that said "When Bush came into office gas was $1.46 a gallon".

Sure there was

When Bush left office you could still drill domestically.

...And if Soetoro has his way gas will be ten Yuan per gallon by the time he leaves office.

I'd be cool with that.  :-)

(That's $1.54/gal)

Seriously though, I get the point. And I'm afraid things aren't too far off there...

and that is before the additional dollar a gallon tax the head of GM wants us to pay. (http://www.detnews.com/article/20110607/AUTO01/106070368)

btw, was the elderly couple in the store to buy dog food for their dinner?

I don't see why CalPig found that so hilarious.  It's a serious hardship for a lot of people.  Filling up for $65-70 a pop starts dictating the food budget.  Where's that famous liberal compassion?  

Saw someone's internet sig line somewhere:

Hope and Change
Food or Fuel

You must understand they want the rising price of gas to cast a bad light on Bush so as to discredit the business-people-have-the-best-economic-policies position. Bush's failure--or perception thereof--is their gain.

Of course Bush tried to increase supply and was branded a crony and when prices went up do to short supply he was still branded a crony.

But the REALLY interesting point is: remember all that talk about how Limbaugh et al were horrible people because to wish failure on Obama was to wish failure on the US.

Yeah, about that.

Well, Obama is NOT the US though he often has overtones of Heny VIII who remarked that dissent against the king was treason to France because the king was France. More to the point it is hard to see how a failure to pass Porkulus or ObamaCoup would harm the US. Yet, a failure to provide a steady supply of energy IS hurting the US.

They revel in a perceived failure of Bush and they do so at the expense of the common man.
