Have at it, folks

As just one of MILLIONS of examples is this CBS story from March 14, 2008: On March 14, 2008, CBS ran this story blaming BUSH for everything.

"Clinton Blames Bush Administration for High Gas Prices

And, to add to our trip down memory lane here's what OBAMA said on Aril 10,2008. Obama attacked the Bush administration on the issue of gas prices:

Obama took part of his speech from headlines across the nation, noting that the average price of gas just hit $4 a gallon for the first time. ....

"At a time when we're fighting two wars (Obama took care of that, we're fighting FOUR now.), when millions of Americans can't afford their medical bills or their tuition bills, when we're paying more than $4 a gallon for gas, the man who rails against government spending wants to spend $1.2 billion on a tax break for Exxon Mobil," Obama said. "That isn't just irresponsible. It's outrageous."

Where are those hypocrites now??

The irony is that the leftist bias of the MSM is self-destructive, but they will cling to their ill-conceived group-think ideological beliefs while destroying their own profession and lives in the process.

You could pretty much do this on every application - wars, oil, gas prices, jobs, economy, transparency... even photoshopped chimpanzees. LOL!

They are hypocrites.

>>> Where’s That Faked Media Outrage Now? <<<

Honestly, I’d rather the media outraged over “Where are the TRUE jobs?”

And it's early. Read in the WSJ that Chinese truck drivers were protesting the high price of diesel. Instability over there...well it's not mom can't get to soccer. Have a billion Chinese start busting up all the Western corporation's production investment over there, and Donald won't have to impose tariffs on imports, there won't be any. Goodbye Wall Street. Goodbye Asian tiger.

I'm still wondering what happened to the war protests and late night “soldier death lists”.

ABC's Good Morning America was all over it this morning - well, in their way, that is.

They had four reporters at gas stations across the country, talking to people about how they were dealing with escalating gas prices. Strangely, not one of them saw fit to mention the lack of drilling for oil, or the absence of new refineries, or of the intentional devaluation of the dollar.

Instead, ABC gave us Dear Leader at a campaign rally (why the hell is he campaigning 17 months before the election? - no one asked) pontificating on how he will bravely defend us all against "speculators" and "price gouging".

Not a word from a person with a differing point of view, nor any hint of the truth. Back to you, Diane....

Obama making his rich oil buddies richer. He isn’t interested in lower gas prices. He is interested in electric cars, solar, windmills, etc. He could care less if gas goes to $6 or $7 per gallon, as do most Democrats, because “that’s what it is in Europe.” Yeah, but, it’s less than 50-cents-per-gallon in Saudi Arabia. I like that better. Drill here, drill now!!!!

Where are they now?

On their knees wearing out knee pads by the hundreds. No wonder they all have bad breath.

I can understand the missing media. Hey they are Liberal, and they are doing what Liberals do. I want to know WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS? They have been given a campaign issue on a silver platter that nearly every American Voter can relate too. They should be bringing to the Americans attention that under Obama, America’s dependency on Foreign Oil has increased not decreased. That many closed oil platforms in the Gulf are still waiting on permits to begin operating. How Oil Prices affect everything we buy, and job losses as well. And the facts about how much oil America is really sitting on, that Obama refuses to go after.

Where are the Republicans? Seems to me they are as silent as the Democrats on the other side of the aisle.

So, using the logic displayed by the Democrats, the Left, and the Mainstream Media in 2008, it must OBVIOUSLY be the fault of the EVIL OIL MAN...

Actually, they are going to stop right there. When the price gets cripplingly high (if you think $4 is it, think again!), they'll claim that it is "Big Oil" gouging the poor working schmuck.

Keep in mind that the administration can raise the prices of oil and natural gas sky-high overnight by shutting down drilling going on right here in the USA, and the stage is set for having the public screaming for the Government taking over the oil companies (with the right media spin, of course).

Clinton said she would pledge $50 billion to an energy strategic fund to make America energy independent, insisting to the crowd of nearly 2,000 that she would take tax breaks away from oil companies in order to pay for it.

She also took two quick shots at John McCain and Barack Obama, saying both voted for an energy bill that Vice President Cheney put together, claiming it gave tax subsidies to oil companies.

BO voted for evil VP Cheney's energy bill?

Naught BO!.
