Gasoline is heading for $4.00 a gallon and could get to $5.00 in the next year or so. These numbers represent all time highs in the United States and are much higher than they were when Democrats took control of Congress. That was the time when Democrats were blaming George Bush for the prices and demanding investigation after investigation into price gouging by oil companies (none was ever found).
With Democrats in charge the cost of gasoline went up and they went out on a number of public appearances in order to blame George Bush. Of course, they left their cars running so they would remain cool. Can’t have sweaty politicians (slimy is another matter).
Gasoline is a global commodity and world events affect the price. Democrats failed to see it that way when they had Bush to blame and they stubbornly refused to allow us to drill for our own resources.
Now that Obama is in charge and the price of gasoline is heading for the stratosphere, nary a Democrat has blamed him or called for investigations. None of them are standing at photo op appearances blaming the man in the White House.
No, they were full of crap back then and they are full of crap now. They do not care about the cost because it does not affect them.
But remember, Democrats blamed the man in the White House the last time so that means the man there now is also to blame.
Why are the Democrats so silent on this issue?
Also, Rick Santelli sheds light on the recent jobs numbers.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
