    No because that was based on a bubble. I see you still dont understand just what a bubble is.

    A peabody who looks into the future.

    So its just beyond 4$ a gallon? The 1.5 to 3+$ increase bush had doesnt matter?

    You mean after bush tanked the economy and affected worldwide oil prices? Is that your solution? Obama lets another bubble grow benefits for years and it pops the year he is gone letting the mess for someone else?

    But hey afterwards the gas is cheap.


    Seems more like something romney/republicans would do.

    and now we have millions fewer in the US workforce and millions more who have given up looking for work in the Obama economy - all makes the unemployment rate LOOK better on paper

    We have a flood of foreclosures about to hit the market sice the libs attempt to stall the procedure in court is about to end

    Gas prices have doubled

    Record number of people on food stamps and other government assitance

    And this is what you call "better"?

    Over 8% unemployment for the longest sustained time in the history of this country since the great depression. 16+% underemployment (stimulus jobs), $4+ trillion dollars in new debt in less than 3 years, home foreclosures continuing unabated by any Obama plan, gasoline hovering around $4 a gallon, food prices hitting the stratosphere and GDP growth below 2% which means we're losing ground.

    That's the platform of accomplishment the Democrats have to run on. :laughing:

    Thats of course ignoring part of congress under republican control, or the entire history of the last couple of years.

    Or that none of the current crop of republican candidates of any clue how to solve those issues.

    and libs like to ignore Dems ran Congress the last 2 years of Bush and so Obama voted for and helped pass all the stuff he "inheritied"

    and libs love to ignore how Dems have yet to pass a budget in the Senate for the last 3 years

    Not for 2009 and 2010. The Democrats had a very near super majority where they passed Obama Care and the Dodd/Frank Let's not and say we did bill.

    Yes 2 years libs, compared to from 95 to 2009 a tie between democrats and GOP or GOP control in the senate and from 95-07 and 09-now GOP control in the house . and of course 8 years bush

    In that period 70% control by republicans over congress and president. But yes it was those evil lbs that did everything .




    Btw: so now obama voted for the war in iraq ?

    He voted for the deregulation of housing markets and financial institutes?

    Strange most of this happened BEFORE he was in the US senate

    Not at all

    2007-2011 house, 2007-2011 senate (debatable 2007-2009 was equal with dems and gop) + 5 years clinton and 3 years obama = 14 .

    With 48 years in total thats 30% .

    And we both know this control was AFTER most of the problems started, all the regulation that led up to it was almost under full republican control.

    Not suprising after such a term the USA almost went completly under in 2007-2008 .

    No we have seen the results of unchecked republicans, and judging by 2008 recession it isnt pretty.

    You might think that, however the average hurting American will see something completely different. He/She will see a President who promised time and again he could fix they economy. Nothing turns away voters like broken promises.

    Thats possible yes, but that still doesnt change reality.

    And whan I look at the current GOP candidates, I doubt people will have much faith they can solve anything. Even republicans still doubt any of thelm can do the job.

    I agree with you completely!

    Over 8% unemployment for the longest sustained time in the history of this country since the great depression. 16+% underemployment (stimulus jobs), $4+ trillion dollars in new debt in less than 3 years, home foreclosures continuing unabated by any Obama plan, gasoline hovering around $4 a gallon, food prices hitting the stratosphere and GDP growth below 2% which means we're losing ground.

    Yea buddy NOTHING changes that reality!

    Nothing changes the reality it was a pit dug by years of unchecked republicans. Worldwide oil consumption and food speculations.


    yes you can blame everything that went wrong and is going wrong on obama but as I said thats simply ignoring reality .

    And even worse, its ignoring what the republican candidates are saying. They have even less a clue, and propose to create even more problems.

    Increasing domestic oil production might-just might-save you around 3 cents a gallon. I have previously provided a link to that effect.
