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

From a former DUer......

Gas is over $3 and in some places near $4. Food inflation is so high that you guys have threads devoted to bargain-shopping. Obama approves of drones filling the AMERICAN skies. Guantanamo is STILL open and will be for the foreseeable future. Obama and his attack dog, Cankles Clinton, have aircraft carriers circling Iran. The feds bust medical marijuana clinics whenever their stash runs low. Your Occupy Wall Street movement has become exactly that: a movement, only of the bowel variety. All that, plus more and more of the jobs that your unions have bargained for you the right to show up at drunk and high are going overseas.

Gotta ask - WHAT exactly do you see in your Dear Leader?

Gas was $1.80 when Obama took office. Not the day of the election, mind you: the DAY HE TOOK OFFICE.

He didn`t provide a link so for the benefit of lurking DUmbasses too stupid to find it...

17. Well tell the smart ass

That since the oil industry is capitalist, and not socialized, there isn't damn much any president can do for prices. Except make the world more secure and less volatile. I really, really, REALLY ****ING DOUBT that a rethug president is going to back off Iran and make the market less volatile. Or close gitmo, or end the NDAA. They will strengthen that shit with glee. So go ahead, support Rmoney, or sanitarium, or the grinch. Your just being willfully ignorant. And maybe you do deserve one of those fools as president.

Tell him that.

As of 1/20/09 you mean.

None of them can answer your questions  BFDU.  :cheersmate:

The President can't do anything about gas prices? then why did Bush get blamed but Obama doesn't?

The World is more secure? how's that Arab spring working out? how's Iran doing?

I'm shocked. Steve posted a challenge for DUmmies to answer?

Steve, am I going to have to up my respect for you a notch? this is a dramatic development.
Try answering the points made and I'll respect you even more...mind you respect is not agreement...but still: answering a challenge point for point is a first for DU.

Can you do more than cut and paste? Here is the opportunity to make conservatives speechless like DUers so often claim. Come on, Steve. Rise heads and tails above your fellows and answer the points.  

and Steve, this will sharpen you for your election debates. Do it. You know you want to!

could accomplish more but at least we still have:

more affordable health care

a safety net
Social Security
lower unemployment
an improving economy
more troops out of the Middle East and home where they belong

None of which we would have if our "Dear Leader" had not been elected.

Socialists don't answer to the people, they dictate. They are elite, and above out laws and questions.
Laws are to control you, not the elite.

Of course DUmmies are not elitists, but they imagine themselves to be

38. I live in a red state. These people don't seem to care a damn. Make sure they can listen to

View profile
right wing talk radio, buy a damn moutain dew and a moon pie and get to their mudd mogging and they are a happy bunch. They don't seem to care about the future. You got the churchs lock up with republicans telling people how to vote. I am so disgusted with what I see.

Maybe if this country is headed back to war and this time make it mandatory then you just might see a change and get these people off their asses. Right now they are content with letting others do their fight while they are back home riding their pickups.

Why should I be concerned about the future? The future is not set and anyway, it will take care of itself.

more affordable health care
  Really?  Then why is everyone complaining about their insurance costs skyrocketing?

contraception availability
  Uhm, is this really the governments job?

a safety net
  This is different how?  And, as a Conservative, why is it my job to provide everyone else with a safety net?

Social Security
  O'bama invented SS?  It is STILL a Ponzi scheme and is failing miserably.

lower unemployment
  Lower than what?  Please enlighten me.

an improving economy
  Improved from what?  Bush's numbers were far better.

more troops out of the Middle East and home where they belong
  Uhm, I think most of them have simply been moved around.  Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan ... why are we in those last 2 countries by the way?

None of which we would have if our "Dear Leader" had not been elected.
 This man has been a complete and utter disaster.  Admit it.

By the way socialist Steve,how does it feel to be so stupid as to introduce things from here to your fellow DUmbfuks that point out their hypocrisy and idiocy?  :rotf:

Did you really think you were going to find a vast pool of wisdom?  :loser:

An advanced google search of the DUmp with three words..."gas price bush"

https://www.google.com/search?q=gas+price+bush+site%3Awww.democraticunderground.com&hl=en&client=opera&rls=en&channel=suggest&num=10&lr=&ft=i&cr=&safe=images

It's definitely interesting to watch the gyrations they are willing to go through to defend O'bama.

Everytime I see them bitching about something I think "If Bush was still in office it would be HIS fault, now it's everyone else's fault."

They're playing with the numbers, it's actually over 10% and underemployment is over 16%.

57. Gas hasn't been $1.80 since the 90s.

Last edited Sun Feb 12, 2012, 04:33 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

What the hell is it with these people with bold faced lies? Fine, that isn't completely true there was a brief period in 08 where it got that low, but that's because the economy was in ruins. Their argument is still dishonest.

Gas was $1.87 starting in late fall of 2008, then it stayed around $1.87 for several months.
You even admit in your post that it was that low for a brief period, which means that you contradicted your original statement that gas hasn't been that low since the 90's. You goons screamed and threw fits over gas prices when Bush was in office, and hardly a damn peep the past 2 years as prices have creeped upwards, because your guy won the white house.

Gasoline prices are a mixed bag this week, though there are signs that the bottom has been reached. On the other hand, diesel prices have decreased compared against the week before. On average, gasoline prices are down a penny. The national gasoline average is now about a $1.14 below the price this time last year. Diesel fuel is now $.99 below this time last year.

Uh, no.

In August 2001, before 9-11, a gallon of gasoline in the Sandhills dipped below $1, to 98 cents or something, for the first time since Reagan had been president.

That was under the watch of George Bush.

But of course 9-11 changed everything.
