Well, when this happened, it caused this: http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/gra...
See that gigantic dip there, right before 2009? Thats the number the rightwing uses to come to their figures.
Edit: derail - how can fox be both the top watched TV news station and the least represented? Thats kinda...really stupid.
The US television media is primarily Left Wing and many are big contributors to Democrats like Obama. I know the president can't do anything about the high gas prices. But the TV media sure altered their words and terms to make people think it was the president's fault when Bush was in office. They're pretty quiet now about blaming the president. They only do it when its a Republican. But now, to even things up, I too tell people its Obama's fault, LOL.
It's because they just need another thing to blame on him. He can't control gas prices
Uh it's obviously his fault... He's the president duh. With Bush, he had like his own company and would do that oil thing that Obama won't do cuz of the oil spill. So, in return we have to an extra dollar or two for gas now that he's in office!
Who else is to blame? That's their attitude.
-We'll They're certainly NOT going to Blame ThemSELVES for all the Gas They're wasting, driving "Whatever", Whenever They Please !!! :o
In 2007 gas prices on average were over $4.00 a gallon under Bush. I have actually heard some people say that gas prices were under $3.00 on average before Obama took office...where are these people getting their facts?
