In the short space of time this past week when we weren’t talking about contraception, people were going on about higher gas prices. Many Republicans are trying to put the blame squarely on President Obama, but on This Week today, George Will shut this down as “preposterous” and “economic nonsense” because the president has little control over gas prices in the first place. ... <SNIP> ...

3. Hey republickers! How did shrub's "jawing with OPEC to open the spigots" work out?

7. Hey, I'd forgotten about that!

Maybe he didn't use enough "charm offensive," or maybe OPEC didn't like the nicknames he gave them?

Maybe they didn't want to have a beer with him while he spit tobacco juice into a dirty paper cup?

4. Maybe Obama could send Trump over to tell OPEC to lower the price.

And to resume planting trees that produce lobsters.

5. I love reading George Will (always have). He's either completely on target or not on the range.

6. Republicans are great at placing blame

Taking responsibility for solving problems, not so much.
