So your point is that you think it unfair to blame a President for oil prices, did it stop anyone in the past? Hell no it didn't.
So what you are saying is that it's OK to blame Obummer, but it wasn't OK to blame Bush?

It's more like, Bush's opponents blamed him whenever something went wrong, so, to get back, we have to blame Obama.
It's kind of silly, but that's how politics are.
It's about as logical as blaming Obama for not instantly having an economic recovery from the longest recession since the Great Depression.
No, I am saying that we all saw the very same people in here right now who ran around during Bush's term when prices were high blaming him on that, now trying to say that because Obama is in all of the sudden the President can't control oil prices....You have the jist, just that you have it backwards.
I've seen many a political hack blaming Obama for high gas prices, at least up until about six months ago.
It works ALL ways. There are political hacks on every side.
What do you think? The middle class is disappearing. At one time increases in productivity equated to wage increases.
What "instantly"?
This is why your posts are the most annoying.
NO ONE criticized your little mouse monkey for there being no "instant" recovery....but NO recovery for the price of SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS the first time has been an issue. Let's compare Obama's seven years of recovery to say, Canada's. How about France...India, now there's a real good one.....
FFS, NOW the US is starting to become stable, some people have started to regain part of their life savings, some may one day even have homes again, but the lying bunch of turds in the White House and the gerbils who regurgitate their droppings only look at job figures, which are as tortured as the lie that is Obamacare.
The fact is the US has been in the dumpster digging for food for seven ****ing years under Obama's presidency, while he worsened things by ramming through the worst health care plan in the known universe.
You want to compare Reagan to this flea? Show me how Americans were still worse off after three years of HIS presidency. Show me where Libyans could kill Americans and get away with it...show me where under Reagan millions lost their homes while he spent Christmas in Hawaii.
Yeah, let's have a whole show of comparisons...then we can compare this lying asshole coward to Carter, Ford, and Clinton...and see just who the **** actually gets anything done.
As if you'd eve
So where were you before? You don't get to just show up when Obama is getting his due on this front and all of the sudden say 'wait, wait....it isn't his fault'...It doesn't work that way.
Sure it does. I'm an independent!
I can say whatever I want, with no constraints.
Outstanding but it was 7 TRILLION Dollars not billions but the rest of your post is right on. Amazing how poorly informed the Obama base is and even though Imagep says he didn't vote for Obama Imagep sure spends most of time defending the indefensible by basically ignore the actual results and posting meaningless information and posts that never address the actual issue.
Well, why should there be different standards?

https://fortune.com/2015/01/19/the-1-will-own-more-than-the-99-by-2016-report-says/
The richest 1% of the population will own more than half of the world’s wealth by next year as inequality continues its relentless rise across the globe, a new report out Monday says.
The report, by the U.K.-based charity Oxfam, shows that the top 1% have grown their share of global wealth constantly since 2010. After dipping at 44% in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, it rose to 48% by the end of last year and is poised to top 50% by the end of next year.
I get that you think I lean liberal, but I believe that I don't lean any more one direction than the other. . . . .
There shouldn't.
But, wouldn't rationality be better than the team sport that politics has become?

Have you ever met a progressive who despises means tested welfare?
Like it or not, it is what it is...We are supposed to learn from history, not keep repeating it. And, as I recall you yourself are not immune to playing a bit of antagonistic team sport when it suits you....Now, we can't get to "rational" discussion, or even negotiation with one side playing dishonestly with everything that sways arguments in their favor...At some point the rationality has to start with one side opening their fist does it not?
If you for example want to have a discussion, which I know you well enough to know that you are one that is possible with, then you have to remain open enough to know when someone like me makes a valid point and not just shoot it down because that is what you think should be done to further your argument....
Anyway, I ramble....
Then whats up with your stupid moronic avatar?
Yep. You notice they don't say that this disparity has grown worse than ever under Obama. They won't make the connection
Now, if Bush were in office, they would be all, Bush, Bush , Bush
But they can't wrap their heads around the truth of what you just said.
