There he goes on his evil oil companies thing again. Never mind the fact that oil is sold on the market in dollars and as long as the Fed is printing more money with no backing, those oil countries get to decide how much the dollar is worth to their commodity.

I filled up again yesterday... and for the second time this month... it took $100.00. Under Bush, this same truck took $35-$40.00 to fill it up.

So there I am, pulling into a gas station in my town, and Tarek is smiling. He owns the station, and right now he's charging me $4.25 a gallon. American motorists may not be better off than they were four years ago, but Tarek certainly is. . . . When President Barack Obama took office, the average price for a gallon of regular gas was $1.84. That means gas prices have more than doubled on Obama's watch.

No, station owners are most certainly NOT better off than they were four years ago. Rising gas prices do not lead to rising profit margins for station owners, and they do lead to lower sales.

While it is obvious that gas station operators are making a bigger profit than what they used to, i don,t think they are smiling any more than the rest of us about what is going on in this country.

The fault lies in Government and the Government we have is the fault of the people who voted the turds into power, and i might add that honest men rarely seek power.

When are people going to get it that the plan is to make America a third world nation.

The plan of some factors of Islam is to take over the power in Washington, a video tape to that affect was produced several years ago, did their plan work? well...

This nation was to be governed by the people, we are supposed to be responsible for our selves, but too many people do not want to be responsible for them selves.

So instead of voting in servants they vote in fast talking charlatans that become dictators and of course any one who would be a dictator is not some one you could trust not to get into bed with an enemy.

The saying is that people are too stupid to be free, that maybe true but there are always going to be those who will try and it will be a never ending fight until our lord comes.

Bill O'Reilly is a pompous ass.

He makes the station owner out to be like a robber baron cashing in on driver pain, but the reality is the station owner is at the mercy of those prices as much as everyone else is, but he also gets the wrath of drivers for charging so much, as if he has a choice.
