Thank Barack For The Lowering Gas Prices

I mean right? They were quick to blame him when they were hovering around 4 bucks-that was ALL his fault so now that they've gone down a dollar we should all be touting his great leadership. You guys KNOW that if Romney were in office (God forbid) the republicon noise machine would be blasting it from loudspeakers atop the EIB Network studios all over this great land

Funny how the same president who had no control of gas prices and could do absolutely nothing to lower them has all of a sudden figured out how to lower them. Time to get our prayer rugs out, face the golf course where 0bama is on, and give thanks to our savior.  :rotf:

1. Courtesy of a bad economy. Not the way you want to do these things.

I thought the private sector was doing fine.

9. The "logic" was that Obama wanted high gas prices so people would conserve more..

and force more use of alternatives. That might be the desire of some environmentalists but I doubt President Obama feels that way.

How is it we all have heard 0bama wants energy prices to necessarily skyrocket, yet none of the DUmmies know that?

7. Yeah, where are the pundits on this subject now?

Barack must have done something to hold them down and get them to go down. According to their logic. But then logic is not a pundit strong suit.

Tell you what when 0bama's EPA stops trying to crucify our energy suppliers and actually implements policies that will work then I will praise him.

Look at the bright side. If you don't have to drive to work, you save a shitload of money in gas.

True and if you can't afford to buy groceries, you can lose weight easily. See all the positives 0bama is bringing us.  :-)

Of course lowering crude prices aren't in the least bit affected by declining demand due to the US and world economy turning to warm runny shit yet again. Thaks for clarifiying that, DUmmies.

I filled up my truck today at $3.70 for regular unleaded, first time I have seen it below $4.00 in at least 6 months.  I spent $87.00 filling my tank.  Hug my nutsack Obama supporters.

It's pathetic if anyone thinks $3.55/gallon for regular is "cheap"

There is no reason for gas to be over .99 cents a gallon.

How depressing is it that so many are thrilled at $3.40 gas? It was under $2 when he took office.

In a DUmmie's world only good things can happen under Obie Wun.  Bad things are caused by unseen, uncontrollable forces created by a small cadre of Republicans.  This is all you need to know in life.

Gas is below $3 in a few places around here.  First time since the "magic negro" came to power.

Get it below $2, I MIGHT consider voting for Barry, NOT!

Just get gas below $2 and I'll start to take all of the road trips I have wanted to take for a long time now.  That would stimulate the economy in all of those areas we want to go visit.

Once again -

This is middles schol economics, DUmbasses - 'supply and demand'. People are so poor they can't afford the same fuel consumption they once generated, and now supply is growing quicker than demand, casing a drop in prices.

So -- DUmmies... I expect an answer on this.

Yopu have claimed (Including the Primitive-in-chief) that the reason the price of oil has risen drastically is because of 'Oil Speculators' - by your logic, Oil Speculators are now doing their best to go bankrupt. Why ?

You should know that there is no way those retards can't answer that question. Hell they have a hard time figuring out what 2+2 is let alone try to explain why speculators would want make themselves go bankrupt.

Oh, and they are just blaming the speculators temporarily. Once Romney gets elected, they will start blaming the President again.

They will probably claim that since 0bama claimed he was going to crack down on the speculators he scared them into lowering prices. All praise Lord Zero!

Interestingly, she is so ugly that she needs birth control to stave off artificial insemination.

Actually, it is Quantity Supplied and Quantity Demanded in this case.

Of course --

But until then, I think we need to start a campaign thanking the speculators for lowering gas prices. Because if they are powerful enough to cause them to run up, they are certainly powerful enough to push them down - right, DUmmies ?

OK, lessee if I have this right...

1) Barak has no control, nor can he influence the price of gasoline.

2)Barak's EPA is now gonna fine refiners for not using a fuel additive that nobody makes (ie, nonexistant, vaporware, etc.).

3)Barak's EPA and Dept. of the Interior have instituted regulations on oil drilling, finally releasing acreage for leasing.

4) The price of fuel was below $2.00 when Barak took office.

Therefore, we must thank Barak now that the price per gallon is now hovering at the 3.50 mark.

Got it!!   Now when do I get my skittles-shitting unicorn???    :-) :fuelfire:.

I got the instructions on how to get to meet your new unicorn, but it takes time, as the unicorns are very shy. This comes straight from one of our operatives at the DNC, so I suspect this data is good.

Quote from:  DNC Manual, pages 163-168 - Receiving Your Official Obama For America Sanctioned Unicorn

1 ) Get yourself a blindfold.

2 ) Go to any office where a Democrat is running, or a genuine OFA campaign location. Any of them can introduce you to your new unicorn.

3 ) Unicorns get very skittish when you look them in the eye until they know you. So put on the blindfold.

4 ) Unicorns are also afraid of power imbalances, as they are such shy & gentle creatures. You need to make certain your future friend doesn't feel 'overpowered', so it is best to be on your knees. Once you get to know your one horned buddy better, you can stand up without the blindfold. We promise.

5 ) Open your mouth slightly - and once the time is right -, the unicorn will give you the gift of skittles - not from his bum-- That is a horrible right-wing smear- , but from the horn itself - but only if he likes and trusts you. So be patient, and soon you'll have a mouthful of sticky sweet goodness.

6 ) After the unicorn delivers skittles, its best to leave, as the unicorn is tired, and needs to rest.

7 ) If the unicorn is fully trusting of you, you can take him home the very next day- however - it often takes more than one attempt to befriend your future one-horned life-partner. So, be prepared to bring the blindfold with you again. Don't worry though, most pairings take more than one try, so if it isn't love at first sight, don't get discouraged, and try again !
