"He's happy to push gas prices now and see them back down in time for the election as well"

The problem there is that this $4 gas right now is going to hurt 2012 Q1 & Q2 (and quite possibly push unemployment back up a tick or two), which will reveal itself right about debate time...

There are 2 million FEWER total number of jobs today than when Obama was anointed. The unemployment number will soon reach zero when every one will be discouraged and stop looking for jobs.

I am sure the smart people at FR are well aware that the 8.3% unemployment does NOT count those discouraged workers who are not looking for jobs, and those who are working part-time and those who are working in jobs below their skill level for lack of better jobs.

Add to the cities’ debt , the federal one at 17 $ trillion , exploded by democrat Obama’s 5 trillion borrowed.

Over 100 trillion in unfunded liabilities, massive state ,local and federal debt, massive consumer debt and much more.

That this society will collapse is a mathematical certaintity. Any fool can see that but the media lies and says the economy is improving: NO we are living off of and on debt.And Obama borrowing 5 trillion instead of cutting government and implementing austerity measures now ensures a collapse. Palin wanted to cut government spending and drill for oil. The liberal media called her dumb and many believed it. But she would have still won.And who is dumb now?
