Those who worship him will not blame him for anything. He can do no wrong. Republicans could run ads 24/7 that simply show gas prices when obama took office compared to gas prices today. Wouldn’t change one worshipper’s mind.

This is why dems can say anything they want when a republican is president then say the opposite when a democrat is president. They can get away with it because those who worship him also worship everyone with a “d” behind their name. Even the dumb ones.

The media is working so hard to deflect the blame from Obama. The hypocrisy is amazing. There are youtube clips of Obama blaming Bush for high gas prices. And yet they act like his campaign (rhetoric, i.e. low gas prices, cutting deficit in half) never happened.

In fact they act like he hasn’t been president the past 3 years. And is just warming up.

Everytime I fill up I write,”How’s that hope and change working for you?” on the pump in ball point.

Many conservatives are saying that gas prices need to keep going up prior to the election to get Obama out of office.

Many believe that Obama will do something such as take gas from our Strategic Reserve to bring the gas price down so he can be reelected.

I agree.

Obama’s Answer For High Gas Prices Is Class Warfare

Posted 03/02/2012 07:03 PM ET

Energy: President Obama’s election-year prescription to accelerate steeply higher energy prices is to add billions of dollars to the oil companies’ tax bills. Expensive gasoline fits the Obama political template.

‘Every time you fill up the gas tank, they’re making money.” That applause line, delivered Thursday by the president from Nashua, N.H., speaks volumes about the thinking that lies at the root of this presidency.

Resentment against the successful is what Barack Obama wants to cultivate among Americans, dividing the dependents of the government, who pay no income taxes to fund it, against the nation’s private-sector producers, who finance the state’s dependency machine by paying the vast bulk of the income taxes.

Fed up with prices at your local gas station going up, up and away, past the $4 level toward $5 and even higher? The president says you should take out your frustration by telling Congress to end the perfectly reasonable oil-and-gas industry tax deductions on drilling costs and other technical aspects of production.
