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?
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.
