Yuh Flippin Liar!

That's not true!

Gas had been steady and at that price level for about 6 years!

YOU! In just 4 short years have put policies into place that have doubled that price in some areas and in others it is nearly 2 and 1/2 times more.

That's $5 bucks a gallon and buddy we all feel it when I see $100 bucks ping on the meter of the gas pump.

YOU LIE!

Bankrupt Barry!

That's not true!

I recall obama talking about gas prices eventually going to $5 a gallon or more...

What was it he said?... oh yeah: “GET USED TO IT”. Accompanied by his usual smirk.

The man has lied about himself since his birth
(where-ever, and to whom-ever, that may have been...)

He is incapable of being honest.

And he hates America and the American people.

4 more years and the economy will be completely destroyed

he might even be able to do it in just 1 or 2 more years

If this is true, gas would be $0.60/gallon today. 0bama is a lying sack of sh!t. Also saying “I believe in the free market..” blah blah.. He’s on record saying “It doesn’t work and It’s NEVER worked”

exactly, and what has he done to improve it? NOTHING.
The economy is, as a matter of fact, worse off than before.... thus gas prices should be even lower!

Exactly, and I think every FReeper recognized it as a supreme coffee spewing moment. If gas was low during a slow economy, then why is it 4.00 dollars a gallon now? Why ISN'T it 60 cents a gallon?

It was a statement devoid of logic and filled with ignorance the likes of which I don't think I've heard for decades!

Romney should have countered: “So you are telling us the economy is TWICE as good now as when you took office???”

We all guffawed in my house at this a$$wipe’s answer. Who knew gas prices were low because of a crappy economy? We should be paying 10 cents for our gas by now then!

It was almost like a scene out of Jim Carrey’s movie, `Liar Liar’ wasn’t it?

Obama: “I strenuously object to the statement that gasoline has almost doubled in price over the last four years!”
Crowley: “And what is the basis of your objection, Mr. President?”
Obama: “Why, it’s not at all helpful to my re-election!”
Crowley: “Objection sustained.”
Romney: “But ...”
Crowley: “I’m sorry governor, but we do have to move along.
Next, a question from an average citizen, an Andrew Mitchell, who appears to be a woman dressed as a man.”
`Andrew’: “`Governor’ (smirking) how long have you been having sex with dead penguins, and ...”
