Gas is down to $3.15 in our area ! It will really help Obama when he gets credit for that !

Nah, me neither. Obama only gets "credit" for prices going one direction. He won't get credit for anything good happening because:

1. He's black.

2. He's a Dem.

3. Did I mention he's black? (More specifically, an anti-colonialist socialist Kenyan crypto-Muslim.)

he will get blame if the prices go up, and credit if they go down.

rational or no, that is reality.

so hope they break the 2.99 barrier.

Economy up, (which of course drives gas prices up) yell about gas prices, dont say a word about the economy, blame Obama. Gas prices down, (which again likely means that the economy is sputtering) yell about the economy, dont say a word about gas prices, blame Obama.

And the compliant media will not say one fucking word about this ongoing idiocy.

Were in full gear screaming about the spiral of deflation was going to destroy the USA. That was just after they'd claimed that inflation was going to destroy the country and both times it was because of Obama. Short attention spans of Fox news viewers prevented their longer term memories kicking in. The only thing they're sure of is it's all Obama's fault. Compliant media is right!

except for those who are saying gas is down because of a poor economy which they blame on Obama.
