She’s so cute.
I just want to hold her when she cries.

If we had more electric cars then we wouldn’t need so much gas. While not overly practical now if gas prices keep going up they will be. Why are the dummies on fox so against electric cars? Alternative energy is the key to our national security. We wouldn’t have soldier number one in the middle east if not for oil. Nobody gives a damn about third world tribal differences if not for oil.

Cry us a river, Dana.

WTF is she talking about…so what if a President gets blamed for high gas prices by the media, I think most people understand by now that President’s do not set gas prices.

“ ‘We don’t need that for our electric cars!’ Steve Doocy snarked.”

Because God forbid we wouldn’t want cars that were energy efficient and helped us kick our oil habit.

We MUST keep the oil industry afloat!

Doocy has some mental issues!!

Lol!!

People have become used to the “$3″ as the starting number in their gas price. But they haven’t become used to the “$4″ yet, because it only really showed up in the spring and summer of ’08, when crude oil prices hit $147 a barrel. Dana wants people to get mad at Obama, but they’re not going to, because they’ve already factored $60-$70 a tank fill-ups into their budgets. But they haven’t factored in $80-$100 a tank fill-ups.

Oil is about $110 a barrel right now, and prices in some areas are surpassing the magic $4 mark. When enough areas get beyond that barrier and people are back to paying out close to three-digits to fill up their SUVs, then you’ll see far more grumbling by the public about the president, the same way drivers grumbled about Carter back in 1979-80 when gas prices shot past the $1 a gallon mark (and it really won’t matter one way or the other what the Times or any other media outlet says as far as mitigating circumstance go).

Well, it’s monday morning and Fox usually leads the way in hammering home whatever talking points the GOP has decided to push for the coming week.

Last week it was birth control.  I guess this week it’s going to be gas prices. Expect nearly every show on Fox today to bring it up.

Gas and oil going through the roof.Causing the price of milk ,sugar,bread to go up.
No Keystone pipeline that would create 1000′s of jobs.
Why does Obama hate the poor?

Dana has no credibility, she was the mouthpiece for a failed administration who spread their propaganda daily!!

Ya’ think?? Lol. All conservatives are maladjusted know-it-all pencil dicks….like Doocy.

Maybe this is why the neocons really want to attack Iran. 

Steve Doocy is straight out of central casting for a sleezy used car salesman.

Blame the speculators, they are the mad men behind the scenes. And please don’t start with the drill here drill there crap, its not going to happen. 

Funny how the “number of jobs” always doubles when you liars cite the Keystone Pipeline.

Yes Bush was treated so unfairly – re-elected and all.  What a stupid segment on a stupid show.

Well…they do have an agenda to stick to.

“I dumped the entire thing around here…” -Gretchen in final summary

Give me a like if you would love to see someone come on screen and punch Doocy.

You only deserve to hold that typical Democrat beauty, Maxine Waters.
And she cries/whines all the time, so go for it and be happy!

HMMMM. Obviously she failed to mention the cause of the price increase. Iran has cut off oil to Britain and France as a result of the sanctions we have imposed. So what is her proposal? End the sanctions or pay at the pump. You make the decision, petunia.

I cannot wait for Jon Stewart take these Bozo’s to task.

Of course, when you plug in to re-charge your electric car the electricity is completely, totally and unconditionally free.

They should rename the show ” The Three Stooges and Friends Bash Obama Extravaganza”

I think a big reason for this is due to former president Bush’s ties to oil companies.  People knew he had a connection with oil companies and saw gas prices rise during his administration and the assumption was that Bush had something to do with it.  Perhaps he did I don’t know, but I do know that gas prices would rise regardless.  Gasoline is a very inelastic good and as a result the suppliers have a lot of leverage on the consumer.  I don’t blame former president Bush nor current president Obama for increasing gas prices.  I hope we get off gasoline soon.  It would be nice to depend on an energy source such as geothermal, wave, tidal, solar, wind, or something like that.  

And whenever you point them to the charts showing how we were losing 700,000 jobs a month when Obama first came into office but now we’re gaining 100,000 – 200,000, they blow that off as irrelevant.

Exactly.

What about Obama’s Press Secretary?  He is the mouthpiece for a failed administration who spreads its propaganda hourly and then screams when someone calls them on it. 

Every Press Secretary does just what their administration wants, that is part of their job.  Just be glad that you are here in the US where you have the right to bitch and moan.  Can you imagine being in Egypt, Iran or Syria where complaining gets you a bullet between the eyes?

Transporting goods is not a problem.

Obama and his acolytes have a large fleet of electric eighteen-wheelers, running on free electricity. 

Oh, does he work for a cable news channel too?

So, you think it’s good arguing to take someone else’s statement, throw it out and replace it with something extremely exaggerated?  Please point anyone who ever said anything like what you just wrote, other than yourself.

The fact is that the electricity that would recharge an electric car comes from a variety of sources, including hydroelectric, solar and wind, so at least some of the power comes from renewable sources.

How much of a gas-powered car’s power comes from renewable sources?

Mostly from coal which we have plenty of dirty as it is. Gas prices will never be below 2 bucks no matter what happens. When it hits 4 bucks people quit driving except of course those with electric cars. I think they’re quite practical for people who make short commutes or don’t drive very much.

Weird, all this talk about gas prices going up and the ones around me are staying the same. Bunch of hype and BS as usual.

When did the media blame Bush for high gas prices?

As we all know, Obama is the most corrupt President in a hundred years.

He wants high gas prices for his green scams to work. Bada bing.

 Doubling, of course!

Last time it was 500′s of jobs. Right?

have you forgotten Nixon……or has all that crack you have done melted you’re brain.

The “usual suspects” are attacking Dana. They have no problem with Jay “Carny” Carney or the previous dufus, “Baghdad” Bob Gibbs.

Of course, she is “spot on.”  When Bush was in office, the likes of Brian Williams would start his show with “More Pain at the Pumps,” and then segue to people at the pumps with stories about how they have had to give up eating or taking their medicine, all because of the “evil” oil men in the White House.  

Journalism is dead.

BTW, didn’t Obama’s energy secretary say  he wanted US gas prices to raise to the price of gas in Europe?  Yep

“Why does President Obama hate the poor?”…WOW, that statement doesn’t even go together. As a community organizer he countlessly helped the poor and sick. When in modern day history a republican president and his policies helped the working poor or middle class? Matter of fact their policies caused more Americans to fall in to poverty and disparity with pitiful wages. Give me a damn break, btw GO GIANTS!!

Wait till gas is over $5 a gal. this summer….But wait i’m sure the Candyman will dip into the emergency reserves to give the price of gas a downward trend of a few pennies shortly before the election.As he continues to give away the farm for votes.
Kind of the same move he did with the payroll tax cut.To which Democrat Senator Harkin said
“I never thought I would live to see the day when a Democratic president and a Democratic vice president would agree to put Social Security in this kind of jeopardy,” Harkin said on the Senate floor Thursday evening. “Never did I imagine a Democratic president beginning the unraveling of Social Security.”
But thats OK because it won’t effect my SS.
There should be plenty of jobs for ricksshaw drivers.That’ll give some these layabouts off their ass and they’ll be able to get their own retirment benefits.

You mean just this president.

Meanwhile…Slick Rick is “severely conservative” enough to question granting educational oversight of distant bureaucrats in foreign sounding capitals like Montgomery, Boise, Springfield, Boston, Montpelier, Bismark… the funding and organizational mandates best left to the parents and parish no doubt. Political innovation like this should conserve us right back to nineteen aught eights by dumbing us backward… a marvelous planned retreat should we pursue it.  

you say “Journalism is Dead” and you watch Fox News? Enough said, Fox News is not journalism it is The National Enquirer of politics.

Obama has upped the govt. rebate for Chevy Volts to $10k.  That should help the 1% who can afford the Volt. 

So let me get this straight – Obama is supposed to set gas prices by interfering in the free market. This according to the very same people (Bolling, Perino, Doofy and the rest) that scream that Obama is interfering in the free market on everything else.

Hypocrisy is always high octane with this crowd.

Seen an actual news broadcast lately? Local is all over the gas prices and network does cover it daily. This is more about the new conservative whine – “They were meaner to us.”

Grow up.

When there is enough of supply to last several hundred years, that resource might as well be considered RENEWABLE.  Unless, of course, you can tell me with a straight face that you care more about how the world will cope in 2-3 hundred years from now than how the world can cope NOW.

You know, such as coal, oil, natural gas and uranium, which are in abundant supply for several hundred years.

Perhaps, instead of tilting at windmills, like modern day Don Quixoite more should be spent to research to develop clean burning coal? Or  perhaps building more nuclear plants. Or perhaps care a little less about some insignificant minnow and build more hydro-electric plants.

Or perhaps we should be less alarmist, more optimistic and trust more in mankind’s ability to overcome difficulties, imagined or real.

When I can buy an electric car that enables me to travel from Boston to Seattle or San Diego as carefree as I can now travel in my gas powered car, I will begin to see the merit of your argument.

suddenly you’re using common sense that was lacking when prices were high under Bush.  Who knew?

Average unemployment for 8 years of Bush was 5.2%

I wouldn’t be surprised if Carney works for MSNBC or Media Matters.  Perino did not get her job with Fox News until well after Bush left office.

Do you own Duke Energy stock ??

>“Nothing wrong other than slow down the permitting process on offshore drilling, decline the XL pipeline which could bring thousands of barrels into the country per day,” guest host Eric Bolling added.<

How can a man be a guest host on a leading cable news network and not even understand how the world market on oil works? We sell our oil reserves on federal land to oil companies at a very low price. They mine the oil, and sell it on the world market at the going world market rate. The US gets no direct benefit. The oil companies make billions. As for the pipeline, likewise, the oil was to be sold on the world market. No direct benefit to the US. All gasoline sold at US pumps is purchased at the going rate on the world market. If US companies doubled their production of US oil, thereby marginally increasing world supply, it might have the effect of lowering the cost of gas on the world market by a few cents.

The only way for the US to get a direct benefit out of drilling oil, is if we cut out the middle men and just do it ourselves, without the oil companies, who make billions, with very low taxes, while decrying that they have to pay any taxes at all.

enough said – you’ve overdosed on the kool aid.  Exactly backwards sweetie.  

 ”Approximately 60 to 70 percent of the oil contracts in the futures
markets are now held by speculative entities. Not by companies that need
oil, not by the airlines, not by the oil companies. But by investors
that are looking to make money from their speculative positions,”
Gilligan explained.

Gilligan said these investors don’t actually
take delivery of the oil. “All they do is buy the paper, and hope that
they can sell it for more than they paid for it. Before they have to
take delivery.”

“They’re trying to make money on the market for oil?” Kroft asked.

“Absolutely,” Gilligan replied. “On the volatility that exists in the market. They make it going up and down.”

Sock Puppet Alert !!

You asked:

“How much of a gas-powered car’s power comes from renewable sources?”

Most of the metal parts can come from metal from crushed junks. Junks is RENEWABLE, must be, otherwise there would no such great effort for recycling.

Old tires can be recycled. As retiree from a rubber company I can assure you that old tires will find their way to new tires, or at least some parts of the car such as floor mats and wipers.

“As we all know, Obama is the most corrupt President in a hundred years.”

Thank you for the Breitbart perspective. Here in the real world, however, we know that the Obama administration is a breath of fresh air after eight years of “slam dunk,” “heckuva job, brownie,” “mission accomplished,” “extraordinary rendition,” “Abu Grhaib,” “the Plame Affair,” and on and on and on.

But you wouldn’t know any of that as you get all your “information” from your right wing media circle jerk.

when didn’t they?

Every time I read the Obama apologists’ screeds about the energy business, I have to laugh. Of course, electric cars will run on “free” electricity- do they think they can run a kite up into the air and  get electricity??? 

Every commodity is going to cost more as gas prices skyrocket. Sometime listen to the black trucker who called in to Rush’s show a few weeks ago. He voted for Obama because he is black, but he understands that his business as an independent long-haul trucker is in jeopardy, with rising gas prices, and that prices of the “little things” like milk, bread, meat, vegetables, etc. are going to go up because transportation costs are going up. He won’t vote for Obama again.

And, all the while that Obama “talks” about “green” energy, his wife jets off to one of the most expensive, EXCLUSIVE places on the planet- ASPEN-her “carbon footprint the size of an elephants. She really IS “Evita” reincarnated. It’s only the peasants who must conserve, who must change their lives, so that Barack and Michelle and their entourage are able to consume, at taxpayer expense, Kobe beef carpaccio, lobster and Dom Perignon in the most chic, exclusive and hard to get to venues. 

Peasants, peasants, peasants- a necessary evil!

Hmmmm obviously excuses abound now – they were in short supply when Bush was available to be bashed.   That was her point.  Why should she have a proposal – she doesn’t hold office?  

The fact is that the electricity that would recharge an electric car
comes from a variety of sources, including hydroelectric, solar and
wind, so at least some of the power comes from renewable sources.

See section 10 of this EIA report for a breakdown of electricity generation by source. http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/annual/pdf/aer.pdf

Renewables are a tiny, tiny part of our energy production. Hydroelectric is a huge part of those renewables, and you’d never get a big hydro project built here. The Hoover Dam would never happen today.

There is only one forseeable way that electric cars will ever be mainly powered by non-fossil fuels and that is if we start building lots of nuclear plants.

That’s quite a rebuttal, Adam.

you should have added (with me).  She is rather credible with the thinking man.  She is very personable and treats people respectfully, much like Tony Snow did.  Don’t you wish those days?

Jay Carney gives White House talking points to Media Matters which disseminates those talking points to the DNC mouthpiece, MSNBC.

The media didn’t understand that a few years ago.

I said the same thing then. Presidents and Congresses do not and should not set prices for consumer goods. Period.

This endless keening over gas prices and demand that “something be done,” is pure political theater based on the fact that gas prices are in our faces all day every day. They go up and down with a multitude of causes – very few of which are actually consumer demand driven.

Ever notice that milk prices are ignored? Why?

Because gas prices are on giant signs every 2 blocks as we drive anywhere. To get a milk price, one has to go into the store – something modern (read that lazy) journalists don’t normally do.

Dumbest press secretary in the history of the country.

Get your tinfoil hat on! It’s a conspiracy!

Is that why the South Side of Chicago is such a lovely place now?

I’m not sure what you are implying with “just this president”.

Same to you, Bootlicker.

 To add to your comment:

Coal use  and costs will dramatically increase.

What happens when there is an electrical outage? How do you recharge that vehicle?

If you have more than 4 people in your family, how many cars do you need?

What if you don’t live in close proximity to your place of employment?

Will employers be “forced” to provide filling stations on their property? Who pays for the electricity, the company, or the employee? Would that be considered part of the “benefits” package?

How do you take a vacation? Do you need an alternate vehicle?

You’re right. The Hoover Dam would never happen today. Conservatives would be crying “socialism!”.

At least Obama was honest enough to say that if his policies were enacted, electricity prices wuold, necessarily, rise.

Now he should be honest enough to take responsibility for higher gasoline prices.

Fat chance!!

 Which means, most families will need more than 1 car.

 Did you think the same when gas prices rose under Bush?

Have you watched Sawyer, Williams, or Pelley? Do they cover it daily? Where are the “Pain at the Pump” daily diatribes? 

Now if you think that they are covering the gas price increases (record highs for this time of year) the same, then you are delusional. 

You probably think they are also reporting troop deaths just as they did during the Bush Presidency. 

Wake up.

Right.

Barack Obama: I think that… we have been slow to move in a
better direction when it comes to energy usage. And the president,
frankly, hasn’t had an energy policy.* And as a consequence we’ve been
consuming energy as if it’s infinite. We now know that our demand is
badly outstripping supply with China and India growing as rapidly as
they are.

CNBC’s John Harwood: So could the (high) oil prices help us?

Barack Obama: I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment. The
fact that this is such a shock to American pocketbooks is not a good
thing. But if we take some steps right now to help people make the
adjustment, first of all by putting more money in their pockets, but
also by encouraging the market to adapt to these new circumstances more
rapidly, particularly U.S. automakers…

And his Energy Secretary is the guy who said “Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.”

Economies always recover, it is the natural flow of things… All this president has accomplished is union and supporter gifts through a staggering amount of new debt.  

 No, it would never happen because there might be some tiny frogs or fish in the Colorado River, which are far more important than jobs for ordinary people, at least, according to the greatest representative of abuse of power, the EPA. 

No, the treehuggers would scream “You’re raping Gaia!” and Obama would agree with them.

 I didn’t realize Iran cut off the supply months ago. I thought it was just this weekend! Prices have been steadily increasing for quite awhile.

Your response is idiotic!

 $45K cars are practical for people who don’t drive much?

CMPA reports that FOX has done more negative reporting on Romney than even CBS.

Who broke the Bush DUI during the 2000 campaign several days before the voting? That would be FOX. Exit polls showed the DUI report caused some/many voters to change their decision. 

In 2008, FOX was 49% positive for both Obama and McCain. The networks were all close to 80% positive for Obama and 20% positive for McCain. 

These are University media studies. 

Is “Media Matters” Journalism? 

BTW, I am NOT a McCain fan.

They all even have their graphic for the price of gas. Watch them. Daily. Watch local news – which has much higher ratings. Look at the local newspaper. All of them are covering it.

You just don’t think they are blaming Obama enough. Well, they shouldn’t. Nor should they have blamed Bush. Private, free markets set those prices. You know, the same free markets everyone is always so worried about Obama destroying. And now you want him to step into a free market.

Want to get angry about it? Then blame the oil companies and the futures speculators. Blame the refiners. Blame the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Question – are we electing a president or a network? Because you all seem to be running against the media. We have this hing called the First Amendment. It guarantees them the right to say whatever they want. Fairness is not in there anywhere.

On the troop deaths, they actually report them more now since they are fewer and farther between. I am sure you will disagree with that, too.

By the way, think you can skip the name calling just once?

Not only is she not the dumbest Press Secretary of the last 4 years, she isn’t the dumbest of the Bush Press Secretaries. She was quite good at the job, as evidenced by the fact that she was very rarely the story.

Ask this question, oh great Fox reporters – how is it that with a surplus of refined gas, a decade low in demand and no interruption of supply that prices are this high? But be sure to ask the free market. They set those prices.

I think Obama should raise the govt. rebate for the Chevy Volt to $10K.  That would benefit the 1% at the top—–the only ones who can afford the clunker. 

I guess you don’t understand the word “power.”

When I first started driving, the price of gas was 39 cents a gallon and has steadily risen through the years and during those years we have had Democrat and Republican president’s. Every single one of those President’s was blamed by the media for the rise in the price of gas. Like I said, who cares, obviously if a President could set the price of gas it would certainly be advantageous to him to do so, now wouldn’t it.

They are practical for politically correct 1%-ers for bragging purposes, only.

They buy, – because they can afford it – but never drive their politically correct toys, because they are transported by their gas-powered limousines, driven by low class plebs, preferably illegal immigrant felons.

Once when I was a young and foolish Democrat I bought a used car, sold to me by a shifty-eyed illegal immigrant named Juan Carlo.

The troop deaths in Afghanistan and bodily injuries are Up since Obama’s troop surge and the changes in ROE (foot patrols). There have been more Afghanistan troop deaths in the 3.5 years of Obama than during the 7 years of Bush.

I would be out tomorrow. I am of the Ron Paul school, which is to stay out of foreign entanglements. That includes Bush and Obama’s escalation in Afpak, not to mention Libya. I am very much against the Republican’s who are asking for involvement (no fly zones) in Syria. 

BTW, who started the name calling? Read your post.

Perino’s ‘Missile Crisis’ Confession

Still looking for that last-minute Christmas gift for White House press secretary Dana Perino? May we recommend a gift certificate for the forthcoming book on the Cuban Missile Crisis by our colleague Michael Dobbs, “One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev, and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War,” due out next summer?

Appearing on National Public Radio’s light-hearted quiz show “Wait, Wait
. . . Don’t Tell Me,” which aired over the weekend, Perino got into the
spirit of things and told a story about herself that she had previously
shared only in private: During a White House briefing, a reporter
referred to the Cuban Missile Crisis — and she didn’t know what it was.

“I was panicked a bit because I really don’t know about . . . the Cuban
Missile Crisis,” said Perino, who at 35 was born about a decade after
the 1962 U.S.-Soviet nuclear showdown. “It had to do with Cuba and
missiles, I’m pretty sure.”

So she consulted her best source. “I came home and I asked my husband,”
she recalled. “I said, ‘Wasn’t that like the Bay of Pigs thing?’ And he
said, ‘Oh, Dana.’ “

 And you live up to the second capitalized word in your screen name.

Truly, you are full of Bovine excrement.

Obama stated in an interview during the 2008 presidential campaign:

“Energy prices will necessarily skyrocket.”

Was he a prophet, or did he know exactly what he wanted?

Dana Perino: “We Did Not Have A Terrorist Attack On Our Country During President Bush’s Term”

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kpfhGxJbLc&feature=player_embedded

Not only does the lame stream give him a pass they do what they can to cover and protect him!

Hope you all are enjoying all his hopey changey bs as you fill your gas tank!!

Mea culpa, I admit I did not read your question as carefully as I should have.

Casualties in Afghanistan are up because we are actually engaged in Afghanistan unlike under Bush where the focus was Iraq. However, they get more reporting because they are still fewer than when we were in Iraq, which makes them more notable.

I happen to agree with you that we need to get out of these endless entanglements where we do not belong. The targeted strike at the enemy method works and we do not need to put thousands and thousands into the field. We should stay out of Syria, too. It is a trap.

As to the insults, unless I am misreading my own comments, I called the lot of them hypocrites and referred to Doocy as Doofy.

What I continue to find fascinating is this belief that the media has to fair or unbiased. It does not and it never has been unbiased. On either side. Fox and MSNBC are mirrors of each other, touting a position and calling it news. That is the reality.

Who called who delusional?

 Have YOU forgotten Jimmy Carter?

Nice way to spin your data. Bush started with a surplus and a reasonably healthy jobs picture and ended his administration with historic deficits and the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs a month.

It F’n kills me to see these people jet around and use more fossil fuel in one day than this entire forum will use in a year combined.Then complain about an SUV for a family of four driving a 100 miles to the mountains for an annual two weeks vacation.

Most of that debt was from Bush and you know it. Why are you being dishonest about that?

http://www.obamaftw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/bush-vs-obama-debt.gif

US inflation was at 6.16 percent when I started driving causing prices to sky rocket. As a result gas prices rose 4 cents a gallon from 36 cents to 40 cents. In today’s economy that would be near 3.00 dollars a gallon. So the cost is pretty simialr to what we have now. Call him a prophet or whatever else you want, my guess would be he understands the volatile nature of the oil market and inflation.

Absolutley and the slow growth recovery is growing in spite of Obama not because of him.
Its like a Ferrari pulling the Titanic. One blown valve away from a dead economy.

How is Obama driving up gas prices exactly ?
Please explain. I’d  love to know.  Does it have to do with the “confidence” of the job creators again ?

Forget the media, Obama blamed Bush for the high gas prices.  That political move and videos will certainly haunt the re-election campaign.

Political karma.  

Nobody is forcing anybody to buy one. I’m guessing people like you argued in favor of horse and buggy over the model T.

unempolyment for inner cities like 20%…how are they supposed to manage $5 gal gas? Will this lower or raise the crime rate in these areas and all areas for that matter?

Is she saying the mediam were wrong to blame Bush for gas prices but also wrong not to blame Obama for gas prices? 

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/02/two-charts-that-terrify-republicans.php

Hey Fox news bitch, Domestic oil production has increased under Obama. 

http://www.alternet.org/environment/146257/obama_expands_offshore_drilling_far_beyond_bush

Jeffy Bovine, the racist pig, troll alert!

Sweetheart she is saying that if you are going to blame Bush for high gas prices then you must also blame Obama for high gas prices.  Not that anyone would expect that.

You know…what Dana said has impact if you assume that people just take for face value what the media says and regard it as the be-all, end-all.  So what we have as a result is a collection of Fox news watchers believing everything that Dana Perino says about the rest of the mainstream media (because FNC is part of that club, also)…Dana who apparently assumes that the watchers of those other outlets also take for face value what they say.  Not a good frame of reference, I’m afraid.

Are you in the habit of buying used cars from “shifty-eyed illegal immigrants”? Sounds like you don’t use a lot of common sense.

Everyone acknowledges that liberals are liars and hypocrites.  These are the same people who scream about raising taxes and then do everything they can to avoid paying their own taxes (e.g. Rangel, Daschle, Geithner, Kerry, Mccaskill, Sherrod Brown, etc.).

Yes , that video that doesn’t exist will haunt the re-election campaign

If that is what you can not wait for then you really need to do something with your life.

That’s exactly how I think of him. Stupid and amoral. 

He’s also a bit like Ron Burgundy but not as cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmDgl-Y-kiU

I see lobo is getting her news from George Soros.  It must not be her time of the month as she is not getting it from PMSNBC today.

Gas prices go up, gas prices go down, never a  miscommunication you cant explain that. Bill Oreilly.

Actually the sad thing is that the Times picked up the story two days after it had been on Politico.  
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0212/73010.html

It’s fascinating to see how you Fox fanatics so willing buy into the propaganda that they force feed you.  I haven’t seen “Media Matters” pop up so much in the rightwing nuts arguments as I have recently with current Fox all out attack on them

Nailed it. Very nice explanation!

 thanks for proving perino spot on in her analysis. ;)

Everyday the Fox bimbos blame Obama oil polices for gas prices,of course based on fallacy.Its almost frightening that Perino is saying that it was BS for the “media” to blame Bush so in fairness the media should continue the BS to the Obama administration.
 
This is the latest proof that Fox ain’t fair they just exist to “get even”.

That’s pure BS…  Federal spending has grown significantly during Obama’s tenure, no matter how the president’s reelection committee colors the numbers.  During the years that Bush was in office Federal spending averaged in the neighborhood of 2.5 trillion dollars a year, since Obama has assumed office, 3.5 trillion dollars each year, but I am sure that somewhere our ex-president still controls the purse strings…  I mean it is not like president Obama and his congress could not have made the adjustments if they considered them to be so disastrous..  Your side will not hold this president accountable to anything…  I consider Bush to have made major fiscal errors but that hardly absolves president Obama for his failure to address a growing fiscal crisis that looms in this country’s future. 

Fox needs this slogan.”We’re not fair we just get even”

 Numero Uno. ;)

And how do you see the Southside?

 *stinger*

The hate rhetoric is way down, the writing is on the wall and lots of libtards are jumping ship. I dont agree with Dana though, gas will either spike over 10 dollar or be totally free by election day.

 really?

So, is she saying they were wrong to blame Bush but would be right to blame Obama? Or is she saying they were wrong then and they have a duty to be wrong again?

 well, that settles it. you totally convinced me. excellent analysis.

Last week was war on religion week, this week is gas price week. I wonder what next week will be.  I swear at fox news they just throw stuff at the wall and pick one. The war on religion will go away as conservatives know they will get killed on that issue. So they are smartly trying to move it back into the economic arena.  Not sure this is the route to take, but at least they are trying:)

 Dark.

Have you read the internal emails from “Media Matters?”  

Do you agree with Prof. Alan Dershowitz that many read like Neo-Natzi websites?

My guess is that you have not read them. I have. 

Actually it has more to do with his efforts to destroy our economy as part of his Saul Alinsky community Organizer tactics. Its hard to accept the fact that a guy who hates America could be sitting in the Oval Office, but once people accept the possibility a lot of things become very clear. The secret is out on your BOY the community organizer, and with what 8 months to go? There are some things you cant spin, and there are some crimes that can never be forgiven or forgotten. You stay with him right up until the end tho. But you will lose the human Democrats. I couldnt find a hate filled liberal comm un ist who re all night on the entire internet which is quite a change from just a few days ago.

“…so in fairness the media should continue the BS to the Obama administration…”

I guess I missed that in her statements.  

Oil prices are directly related to supply and demand. Demand in countries like China and India is at an all time high. They’re not about to inhibit their industrial growth for some pseudo-science about “global warming.”

Supply- we have, for decades, promoted importing oil rather than drilling for it in the United States. Ask anyone in the oil industry. The government has made it increasingly unprofitable for companies to drill domestically.

After the BP spill, Obama’s administration stopped issuing permits for deep offshore drilling. Since the companies who own the rigs need to make money on their equipment, and since Obama even ignored a judge’s ruling regarding issuing permits, the rigs were moved to places like Brazil and Africa. 

Obama stopped the process to issue off-shore permits on both the East and West coasts. 

The X-cel pipeline would have sent Canadian oil to refineries in Texas. While not guaranteed that the refined crude would be sold in the US, it would be cheaper to sell it here than to tanker it to some other country. 

Take a look at the pipelines that ALREADY cross the US before you spew some nonsense about environmental concerns for pipelines. 

Steven Chu has, from the beginning, said US gasoline prices should rise to the levels in Europe- $10+

Obama will not even consider exploration in ANWAR. The EPA puts more and more regulations on exploration for oil and gas in the US.

Government regulation has suppressed the oil and gas industry for decades and Obama is trying to take it to the max. Government regs have caused the price of automobiles to skyrocket as well.

Democrat ELITES only want THEIR carbon footprints to be ignored. The peasants must have their energy use limited!

And so have the prices. Which do consumers care about?

Only because of GW Bush’s policies. You don’t go stick a straw in the ground to extract oil- it’s approximately a five year process.

 Nice one CLOWN
let’s not take into consideration the continued decline during his tenure.
Are you clueless, or just repeat talking points?

Sure is easy to promote an average, when you are handed a rosy jobs picture.

Go talk to anyone at an oil company- you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.

Factors beyond a President’s control DO influence the prices at which oil trades (wars, natural disasters, etc.) BUT a President does have the ability to announce policies to increase the supply (as when Obama released reserves from the strategic oil reserves- before the 2010 election, I believe). Obama’s policies on inhibiting production in the US causes traders to speculate that there will be LESS oil available, so the price goes up. 

Checkmate!!

50 Billion to bail out that whale, with Obamas boys practically wetting themselves in gleeover the record profits, not mentioning that GM didnt pay as much income tax as Buffets’ Secretarys’ Goldfish.

Billions shoveled into GE, who posted an 18billion  dollar profit and also managed to not pay any corporate tax. Add some job czar as CEO, stir in a few thousand jobs created in china.

You would think he would slow down on screwing us over just a little bit, but no. GE is now buying Volts from GM and yes the subsidy IS 10thousand per car, it hurts my brain to even do this math. But It kinda seems like we are using Tax dollars to pay GM to make cars for GE and for each one they buy we get screwed over for another 10thousand dollars.

This of course is over some peoples heads(not really) but it is pretty obvious that a 7000$ bonus for those scu msu ckin comm uni st auto workers is a little more than the 40$ a week the average american family got.

And EVERYONE knows Mitt paid his taxes, because well, a bunch of CKSKRS in the media shouted it from the rooftops for a few weeks, do you think Obama could do us a favor and take credit for saving GM a few more times?  And hey I really like all that bulsht about the 1% and the fair share stuff too.

Mitt/West
Thank you Mr Beck, I am sorry I ever doubted you
God Bless you  Agent Terry Rest in Peace.

Everytime prices go up we all have the same debate. My father really claims its all about supply and demand, on the world market but I really don’t know. This I do know its not a presidents fault that prices go up. They go up worldwide, not just in the states. Prices go up in Europe, Canada ect, so to blame a president for oil prices is just silly.

Sorry to derail your narrative, but those numbers that you want to try and ignore are from the Congressional Budget Office, not the Obama reelection committee.

Oh if we are hyping books hitting the shelves, heres one I like a lot myself.

I am also looking for ward to reading the FOX effect, if in fact it still comes out, my guess is the shredders are working overtime.

I suggest liberal trolls that you decelrate juuuuust a little bit on the politics of personal distruction. But what do I know, Im just a racist teabagger.

LOL!

The Double-Standard is PALPABLE!

Google any similar circumstances where there was a Republican and Democrat…the Media Matters mainstream outlets PROMOTE Democratic narratives and interests in their “newscasts”!

Anyone trying to tell you different is either ignorant or deceived.

Yes and your non union built Toyota makes you look like such a man to all your family they must be so proud of you!

Keevas, you may as well ignore MSNBC, they wont even be in business much longer.

Romney/West

Dana wasn’t suggesting that Obama get blamed for high oil prices. That was that clown Bolling. She was merely saying that when Bush was in office the media used a completely different template to report on the surge in gas prices. More often than not it was portrayed as Bush’s fault. Now it seems that because it’s Obama who’s in the White House, they have conveniently found other explanations for price fluctuations and seem to have stumbled upon the concept of supply and demand w/ some speculation thrown in for good measure.  

So are you for or against renewable energy? Electric cars?

How about that, someones making money. The usual suspect pointing the finger.

I bet those oil speculators are racist teabaggers who watch faux news too.

Romney/West
Thank you Glenn Beck, you may have saved us all.
God Bless you Agent Terry, you may have saved us all.

Lets go libtards, Ive been wondering where you were hiding all night.

How are you feeling about those SUV tax write offs?

–Cobra

Ahhh but building a pipeline will immediately solve the problem:) I don’t understand the argument on this stupid topic. It boils down to more and more countries are using more and more oil. As economies grow, supply needs to keep up with demand, or prices will go up.  And that goes with any process that happens in the products production such as refining ect. OPEC probably keeps supply lower than it has to sure. But they are no different than the jewelry industry ect, who keep supply low so prices are high.

Yeah tell us all how the market works, poor boling doesnt know jack shyte. He sure is wearing nice clothes and Im guessing he paid his share of taxes  too.

I wonder how he can afford that? Did he get a handout from Obama. This is too funny. Dont leave.

Romney/West
Glenn Beck was right.
Agent Terry will NOT have died for nothing.

Yeah, and it was 0% on January 19, 2009, right?

–Cobra

Well before too long gas prices are going to be anywhere from 20-1000(yes  thousand) dollars a gallon. Either that or Obama will decide to make it free.

We will all be making a million dollars a day too. Who picture should they put on the Million Dollar Bill?

hey this is great I didnt think the libtards were coming back.

Good one, Gavins. Looks are the most important thing in the world, and that’s why you guys win with a real doll like Jan Brewer in your corner. I see your maturity level is very high, and I know little Gav will have a real model to look up to when he sees his grampy muttering at his computer screen during Hannity commercial breaks. 

 apparently you were sleeping when obama banned offshore drilling

 troll much asshat?

oh never mind… My kudos your baseless 6 year slam job has taken root in a lot of people.

The oil price increase which occurred under the Bush administration was a direct result of speculation. When the bubble burst, gas prices dropped more than $2.00 a gallon overnight. You really need a history lesson and to stop having all your comments liked by “guest”. You people are truly legends in your own minds.

You mean, is Media Matters the bought and paid for propaganda arm of the Obama Admistration? All of these libtards on MSNBC are never going to work again when the people find out just how hard theyve been fukd over.

 sez the likebot

I see so the Obama deficits belong to Bush, OK got it.

Seems to me that the Bush tax cuts were due to expire at the end of 2010, what happened? Did the president have a Bush moment?

Back in 2009 the president and the Democratic congress took control of this country, everything moving forward belongs to them not to Bush… Bush did put structural flaws into the budgets, the democrats have failed to address them so guess what… They own them. Bush is gone, no longer calling the shots, last I checked he stepped out of office over three years ago… own it, belongs to you.

The numbers you cite are program specific, they do not relate to terms in office and are misleading. President Obama owns his deficits, he had the ability to make changes to the Bush programs and tax structures that he did not choose to make, consequently he now owns those programs.

 hyperbole much?

And why not? For 6 years they have been making up lies about the only people in the country trying to tell you the truth. Now that the proof is right there, leading straight to the white house. Dont you think that the white house paying people to lie to everyone the country is news? Dont you wonder for a second what Obama has to hide?

 apples and oranges

Just shut up scroll up to the top start reading and eat your crow you filthy maggot.

 hypocrite much?

I agree with you for once. Ari Fleischer was by far the stupidest of all of Bush’s press secretaries. (And Scott McClellan by far the most honest.)

Hard to argue that they aren’t totally right. There are things O could do immediately.

I also find it funny that all the libs that screamed that Dubya went to war with Iraq “for the oil” are pretty quiet on that front after all. Oil fields were not seized, price has not come down, war was not paid back.

You know what George Bush is American and he loves his country and the people in it. If things didnt go that great for him,  that happns.

Obama is not even pretending to govern at this point. Harry rReid doesnt even look at the bills the house passes.

There is only one way that these guys actions make sense. THINK about that.

fluff horses much?

I havent heard too much from Obama about the Iran thing. 

See and I heard it was Valerie Jarrett, but probably they take turns.

Oh no, he hates ALL of us EQUALLY. The thing these stupid people sticking up for him dont realize is that he hates them too.

Food for thought libtards:If he can fool over 300 million people into thinking hes a human being, do you think he might be able to fool you too?

STFU

Sir, it would really be a good time to be armed. No matter what neighborhood you live in.

Absolute truth. Oh and by the way, the valve is rigged to blow.

 Woo HOO I MADE THE 1%!  I’M RICH!

The difference in Bushs debt and Obamas, is that Bush actually bought stuff with his. Obama is actually TRYING to spend it all, and hes tring to spend it all on absolutely nothing. You know what a widget is? You will.

Oh we arent planning on running on Bushs record. :)

Wait till gas is up to 5$ a gallon in the next ten days.

 *stinger*   love exposing the sock puppets. ;)

 Maybe he doesn’t have the time to spend all day mulling over the deep meanings of Mediate posts.

BTW CONGRATS TO PABLO, OUR WINNER OF THE “RACE TO 12000 POSTS ON MEDIAITE”.

WHAT HAVE WE GOT FOR PABLO TODAY, VANNA?

WELL, PAT, WE HAVE A SHINY NEW LIFE FOR A MAN WHO SITS BEHIND THE KEYBOARD ALL DAY!

 How can you live in the real world when you spend all of your free time leaving comments on this site?

Go change IDs now.

just STFU

 Ummm, maybe u should go look at the fake emperors numbers. Well over 20,000, df. And that’s only 1 of it’s accounts.

I will never, ever buy and product ever again that was made by scumsking communist union maggots hell bent on destroying my country. By th time the election finally gets here, GM wont be ableto give a car away and when they go bankrupt again those pigs will be out on the street for real.

Bush had his tongue to the arses of the elite oil crowd that is why he got the blame.  Note you don’t see W. very often.  He trained to many snipers whose friends were killed in his Crusade against Muslims.

That was excellent, do you mind if I use that in  the future?

Why nobody will be going anywhere?

Ad how do you get to work? oh wait nvm

On the plus side, you know shes a nasty freaky skank in the sack

Is Jan Brewer the patriotic Governor of Arizona? Theres not enough dead people and illegal immigrants in Arizona to carry it for your guy. Nobody loves freedom more than the white folks down there.

Thank god the bottom!

Hmm. Odd, because it seems that the personal attacks and name calling keep coming from both sides.

Are these comments in reference to the article?  I believe the question is why does the media not BLAME Obama for high gas prices, when they crucified President Bush re: prices when they were lower then they are currently.  We all know the answer, so what is the question. The MSM will not ever blame or even mention the many FAILURES of this incompetent president.  It pains me to even refer to him as such.  I need a king size candy bar.  Michelle has probably stock piled them in her luggage while on another vacation skiing.  I get confused about the class welfare thing. I guess Michelle isn’t part of the equasion.

 get a life, troll

Actually towards the end of the bush admin prices were higher for a time. I guess i don’t remember Bush taking a lot of heat for it. But if he did my guess is because he was an old oil guy and some felt he was helping his oil buddies. I didn’t think that but oh well.

Apparently you were sleeping when Obama has pumped more oil than bush. And off shore wells are opened for business. Just like a dopey conservative to try and simplify a complicated matter.  Funny thing is natural gas prices are at an all time low, don’t hear a blip about that from you guys.

really Jeffy, how many sock puppets do you have? You racist coward.

Why don’t the progressives admit that there is not enough electricity to charge all the electric cars they want us to drive. Even if all you dummies got off the interent and got rid of all your wasteful electric consuming devices and that big waste of electricity FaceBook and Twitter there still would not be enough to power your electric cars. So admit that this “let’s go green right now” movement is going to have a negative affect on the economy. We need drugs to fight cancer and disease but we don’t just start taking pills that are not fully test do we? Oh crap yes we do!!!!

Nobody likes people who over hype something up. I don’t like people who claim to surf big waves yet are never there when the biggest swells of the year  hit and I hate tree hugging progressives who want us all to go green right now yet they do follow their own go green advice. I still see them driving fossil fuel consuming cars, wasting electricty by using the internet for 95% crap, they have air conditioners, they use cloth dryers instead of hanging them in the sun, there so much more I can slam you hypocrites for because you think your $h!t don’t stick yet you tell everybody else your trying to save the world.

Why don’t they admitt that the range of these electric cars is very limited which equal limited freedom. It’ll take me 3 days now to get to Las Vegas in an all electric Chevy volt

According to General Motors the Volt’s all-electric range with fully charged batteries varies from 25 to 50 miles (40 to 80 km) depending on terrain, driving technique, and temperature.

I can’t wait to see what happens in a snow storm or when one of these lithium batteries powered cars goes off like a bomb in a severe high speed car crash. You ever see a lead acid battery blow up?

Working on cars is as an automotive tech has inherent dangers but when my friend that works at toyota told me about the number of tech electrocuted from the toyota prius I was a little surprised. I feel much safer with liquid gasoline thank you.

One more thing about hybrid & all electric cars. You can’t work on them at home and that goes for the non-dealer independent repair centers well at least anything to do with the electric motor part. so that means taking them back to the dealer to have the fixed which = big buck$$$$$ that most of you can’t afford with current car. Many of you treat your cars like crap and then complain about why they fall part.

Yes we need to develop the technology a hell of a lot more before forcing it down our throats.

I hope you like what you voted for!!

You respond to people you can’t stand? Odd.

You leave the rudest comments on various threads. I find it truly sad that that is how you spend your time.

The ONLY way this makes sense, is if Obama is, I dont know, some kind of bad guy?

 Your comments to others actually work better as a response to you.

One mans troll is another mans freedom fighter

Yeah, hoss. Rally them white folks together and show Obama who’s boss, hoss. Then watch as Obama wins the national election by a huge margin since your own candidates are weaker than McCain. Those freedom-loving white folks you mention will surely shed some crybaby tears. 

About on average 85 cents to recharge a Chevy Volt.

Have you ever met stoneparkIV?

Doing pretty good so far. Record year 2011

Then why do the GOP candidates only offer warmed-over Bush policies? More deregulation of the financial industry, more unfunded tax cuts, more reckless war threats, more Christianism.

Sorry, but all your candidates are running for Bush’s third term whether you want to admit it or not.

 projection

 Whoa! I was waaay off. Thanks for correcting me, tws.

 Unless your house blows up or your car burns to the ground on your way to work. lol

Oh yeah?  Naive much?    You watch the gas prices start getting lower just before the November elections.  The president and OPEAC have always worked together – Bush did it too.  They are rising the prices now to make up for starting to lower them around October.  You just remember this, when they start to go down before the November election, because they WILL.  You got fooled again.

Sorry, but the biggest contributors by far to the deficit are 1.) Bush’s tax cuts, which the GOP has fought tooth and nail to keep, and 2.) Bush’s obscenely expensive wars, which Obama has been winding down (not as quickly as I’d hoped, but it’s moving in the right direction). If the Bush tax cuts alone were allowed to expire — which should have happened already — that alone would have the effect of cutting the deficit enormously.

People like you who want to let the Republicans off the hook and blame Obama are like the captain of the Exxon Valdez standing on the beach saying “You’re scrubbing the oil off those birds all wrong.”

one more time.
50 billion dollars to bail out GM, record year 2011, hammered home as a success, GM paid ZERO INCOME TAX. ScmSKing union maggots pocket 7thousand dollar bonus… the partner in crime

GE, billions of shovelled dollars to post an 18 BILLION dollar profit (1 year) ZERO income tax. Thousands of jobs outsourced to CHINA. Someone should tell the jobs czar. wait he might now already since he is the CEO.

in the insult to injury department the 10thousand dollar subsidy on the volt, guess whos buying them? GE. So Tax dollars to make the car tax dollars to buy the car. wash rinse add 10thousand bux for every unit

insert lameass 1%er talking points, stir it up with fair share, add the comment about buffets secretary paying more taxes than two who the largest corporations on earth who have devoured almost 100billion dollars between them with more shoveling in every day.

Since she is a WHR for Obama she will prbably stand up and thank the mighty one for her 40dollars and free condoms.

Yup record year 2011, 2012 looks REAL GOOD TOO, I wonder how many Volts GE can buy in a year, here is the exact number ALL OF THEM.  socan anyone explain this to me? Lets make it multiple choice.

A- Bush
B- Racist
C- Congress
D- Osam bin Laden
E- Tsunami
F- Teabagger
G-Our country has been taken over by a ruthless marxist dictator wannabe hell bent on crashing our economy and destroying our way of life?

Cmon help it make sense anyone?

By november Sandusky and the Orca at seaworld will be able to beat your guy no matter how many  skmsking communist union thugs are trolling the polls with clubs.

> You ever see a lead acid battery blow up?

Actually, yes… they emit hydrogen gas.
Ever see pictures of how the Hindenburg ended?

Take a breath, dude. And learn what punctuation’s used for.

Religious-radical, right-wing nut-jobs are leading this country down the path to fascism; their ilk makes me wish there had been a few *more* abortions performed.

“My father really claims its all about supply and demand.” 

Not to bash your father, but this is like saying someone died because his/her heart stopped:  It tells us nothing.  Speculators are preying on fears of an Israel-Iran showdown (being greatly aided by the war-mongering news media who are unabashedly rooting for a full scale invasion) by buying up all the oil futures (the commodities traders now own more oil than they ever have in history.)  This artificial supply sweep snowballs into higher prices because it creates the (false) illusion that demand is increasing worldwide, when in reality it’s just a hand full of traders hogging futures and becoming exponentially richer in the process, at the expense of virtually everyone.

I absolutely hate it when I get fooled again.

Typically, gas prices tend to go up in the summer months when people are driving the most and go back down in the fall time. However, if you choose to believe the President and OPEC are in cahoots to manipulate the prices, then please feel free to believe that.

What I do know — where I live, is that the price of gas will not start to go down until December when the tourists leave, well after a President is elected in November. The price actually goes up even further in November here due to the heavy influx of tourists visiting the area.

But, I will be sure and pass the memo out to the local distributors to let them know that a conspiracy is afoot and they should immediately lower their prices.

If you are expecting me to defend Bush it is not going to happen, like I said I am well aware of his fiscal mismanagement, but nor will I be an apologist for president Obama’s even worse performance.

So, widdiecrybaby…you and the NYTimes like paying high gas prices?  How about those people who earn their living on the road, like salesmen and truck drivers, etc.,?

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.  Prices at the pump expected to go up to $5/gal by the end of April.  And Perino is right.  The Times blasted Bush when prices went up – not nearly as high as they are now – yet Obama somehow is blameless, and the poor baby will be attacked by those nasty ole’ Republicans…wah,wah,wha, sob.

The Obama administration has done everything it could to keep gas and oil prices high so they could make people want to by those crappy electric vehicles,  which of course use a great deal of energy in generating electricity and costs much more than gas or oil. And how about those failed Solyndra panels?

Everything this administration touches turns to crap, while Obama chases Windmills, and we citizens have to live with Obama’s dumb mistakes!

Republicans are too busy with their idiotic culture war to care about the lunatic fringe “conservatives” anymore. Get ready for exile, teabaggers!

More whining by Republicans…….Does this mean that Fox News and the hundreds of right wing radio shows and publications are not mainstream?  It’s amazing to see how right wing whining continues to be one of their essential talking points…

LOL!!  Of course, looks mean nothing to you because you Dems have all the old hags and bags in their party, while the GOP women are the real Babes!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq09hAl5EkI&feature=player_detailpage

You can explain it to a “conservative” scum bag all day long. Sad part is they want you to understand it for them, too.

Geezzz, Frank…have you ever driven one of those Volts?  Do you ever drive more than 25 miles at a time without a charge?

I still havent gotten my check from Soros! Must have been some “conservative” scum bag that took it out of my mail box! I’m calling Beck today!
Teabaggers are ridiculous.

When an electric car can go 200 miles on a charge and be baught at a resonable price I’ll consider it.  As for the then and now way the media looks at it; well that’s what happens when you use Media matters; AKA Pravda; for your source of the news.

I think president Obama works hard at his job & I believe Bush worked hard at his.

Wow. You’re a really butt hurt teabagger. You should get that checked.

Right..ever try heating your home with electricity?  Don’t…it cost way more than oil or gas.  Also, how do you think electricity is generated?  Think about it.  Mostly oil gas and coal, some nuclear and hydro electric from Canada.

Just like those dumb light bulbs we’ll all have to be using soon.  Not enough light power and they’re filled with mercury!!!  Yet, they’re supposed to be more “green” and “energy efficient” than the incandescent bulbs we’ve been using all our lives.  What a bunch of lies and what suckers Americans are!

Aren’t we getting tired of these dumb, manipulative rightwingers. Ms. Perino lied her way through her last job as Bush’s mouthpiece and she’s doing just fine on FOX. What these awful people don’t get is that Bush nearly destroyed our country and is reviled all over the world. Why liberal/progressive types bombed on Bush whenever they could is simply because he and his boss, Cheney, were such evil figures, and we wanted them out of there as quickly as possible. History is going to be a lot kinder to Obama than Bush, who hopefully will wind up someday in a court of law. 

Not near enough power comes from those so-called renewable sources as you might think.  What’s more, those sources are far costlier than fossil fuels and many have already been given up for a loss, like windmills and solar (Solyndra anyone?) so until the the science and ability to bring to market is much improved, we still need and use fossil fuels.

Big difference: Bush lied us into a war. That war drove up oil prices.

No Bush, no Bush-lie-based war, no rise in oil prices, hence Bush getting the blame.

Dana should spend more time thinking about facts as less about hair spray.

 Do you not understand the Electrical Grid? If one power station goes down, the other power stations in the area pick up the slack. I live in the Eastern part of the Midwest when one station goes down, we get our power from Ontario.

 The only reason for an electrical outage now is like what happened several years ago now. The 300 mile wide dry Hurricane Ike. That tore down power lines in the Eastern part of the US. It took a while to get the power back mainly because almost all repair crews had gone down to Galveston. We had to wait for the repair crews to drive back here.

 Just so you know there are Three Electrical Grids in Anglo-America. The Eastern-half, the Western half and then finally Texas.

 For Neil.
  Please go check into the nearest Psych Ward.

I realize that you are bitching about Tax Incentives for GM to keep jobs in a certain area. But you need to realize that even the #1 company in the US gets tax breaks for bringing a store to your town.

Sadly, they also put most of the people who used to work for grocery stores, department stores, office stores, etc out of business.
And the sad fact is that they are one of the biggest causes of the China “problem” they buy so much from them that it put America out of work.

Neil, you guys may as well run with Sandusky because the guys you have now are barely a step above. Talk all you want but the polls show your side losing. Reagan started off 1984 with a lower approval rating and higher unemployment and went on to win by a landslide because the Dems put up a weak candidate. If you don’t think the chances of Obama winning are very high then you are intentionally ignoring basic facts. 

PS– No one gives the slightest crap where you vote. 

 You do realize that the price on the world market is high right now because of the threat of a war with Iran. If it weren’t for that our Gas prices would be down.

 They don’t know that under Bush that there were 100% write offs to buy an SUV. All you needed to do was start a home business…Most were moms selling balloons for birthday party’s. At year end the business could fold since they didn’t turn a profit but they could write off 100% of the cost of SUV’s. Correct me if I’m wrong but some of those SUV’s were in excess of $50k
 The big Hummer’s for the guys that needed to impress a woman since he had a short d*ck. And then all the others…

Truly insightful. The funny thing about this video is that the GOP side is made up almost exclusively of news anchorwomen and pundits. The former are, in theory, “objective” according to you guys whenever someone accuses Fox of being biased, but here you’re willing to admit they are pretty faces paid to get horny old men to watch. If you’re proud that Fox hires a lot of women based on their looks rather than their acumen, by all means wank away. 

Either way, you win the high school food fight. Now please don’t talk to the adults again unless they call on you. 

FoxNews’ supply their own lies. MM mostly just replays those for people.

I see where you’re coming from when you think that FoxNews and Rush Limbaugh are the only people telling you the truth.

Bush lied? How original. Get some air.

Wrong!

Perino is always willing to get down on her knees in the service of her old master.

Whore? Is that any way to talk about your mother?

“Nobody loves freedom more than the white folks down there”.

If your equating freedom to the rule of law, our sovereignty, and the sanctity of legal citizenship then you’d be right. If your equating freedom to defending our culture, and everyone’s right to live in a state free of illegal alien parasites, you’d be right but, if that sentence is meant be nothing else but racist, then you can put your crap where the sun don’t shine!!

No but I’m considering one of these type cars. I think it could work for me along with a regular car. I just can’t understand all the vitriol over what will be the future. Oil is a finite resource.

since there was no thought (or truth) in your post, what’s your excuse?  Thinking about whip it?

then you don’t understand fascism.  Perhaps when you figure out who’s who, your comments will indicate some thought.

Why is it the left wishes to silence others – death to others?  What the hell is wrong with you?  You’re one sick dirt bag.  

Isn’t it interesting to read the spinning and blaming the left is doing?  Honesty is just such a scarce commodity with them that they can’t stay on topic – have to crucify the messenger, wish us dead.  A fine bunch of humans.  

Stop whining Dana.  

If you can’t post like an adult – you are flagged.  

that’s exactly what Dana told you.  You thought she was stupid and a bimbo. 
Who knew?

that was just proven to be untrue.  The “expert” just explained the fallacy of your #’s.

Something like the fix on unemployment #’s.  

apparently your math is a suspect as your sources.  It’s not true.  Just keep telling yourselves, and I’m sure your media darlings will not correct the “record”. lol

The ‘Hope America Fails’ GOP are in a bind now so expect more cultural warfare.

Gosh emma – she said it was dumb to blame Bush (but that didn’t stop you) and it’s would be dumb now.  

You’re not familiar with the classy examples republicans set constantly.  Remember Perino – a class act, as was Snow.  She still is.  She always approaches stories with a measured tone and doesn’t go bat shit crazy.  I know – that’s all you guys seem to understand.

It’s amazing that you can’t see that the republicans are always the grown-ups in the room.  You’re used to the loons who have nothing to offer but character assassinations, and ridicule.  Just go back and read some of the posts from the “deep thinkers”, including yourself on this topic.  

Ok ive heard the speculator argument and I don’t dismiss it. But world wide demand is increasing daily. The Iran situation doesn’t help. So speculators are getting nervous. My point being that whoever a president is doesn’t mean a damn thing in relation to gas prices. I look at it this way Americans are going to have to get use to it. Buy smaller more efficient cars, hell I invest in oil stocks and the money they make me more than makes up the extra money I use at the pump. It doesn’t effect me the same way it effects others. But it really must suck to be a business and try and factor these swings in gas prices in your profit margin.  I do sympathize with that. 

Isn’t the subject about Dana complaining about the President not
being blamed for high gas prices when her old boss W was?  Isn’t she spinning?
Who cares what W was blamed for?  He perpetuated more idiocy than he will ever take responsibility for.

And you seem to have a heightened sense of paranoia about “the left”.
I am of the left and have never wanted a conservative dead.  You guys
are so great to laugh at during parties.  Also, if you would fact check your
current candidates I think your bid for honesty would make you run away from
the GOP.

Anyway, Dana is loyal, which is commendable.  A bit anxious and whiney though.

Its true seek would you like me to post some statistics? Im sure you wouldn’t because you would not believe them anyway. Its like debating a wall.

OBAMA = FAIL
That’s just the way it is.
DRILL….BABY….DRILL!!!!

This may come as a shock to you, but I never leave home without a web browser or two.

You bet,Neil because while the crime rate goes up. Gun ownership wll be an issue is the next ObaMao term.
Thats a garantee.

If you support any of the GOP candidates, then by default you’re paving the way for a return to Bush-like policies and principles. All of the Republican candidates have platforms that mirror what we were doing from 2001-2008 in terms of tax policy, economic priorities, social issues, defense and foreign relations. There’s very little light between what Bush did and what the candidates stand for.

 Correct
If an apple was $10,000 (Volt write off) and an orange was $100,000.
As part of the 2003 Bush tax cuts, the maximum Section 179 write-off was increased from $24,000 to $100,000.
No depreciation – immediate write off.

If you really want to understand how the Left and Obama work their rear ends off to destroy the fossil fuel industry, go to the Daily Caller and read the article on the Campaign against the Keystone-XL Pipeline.

It’s a long and complicated article, but well worth reading and re-reading. Horrifying, really, but better to understand the enemy than to pretend he doesn’t exist.

 Apparently you’re still sleeping. Obama has never pumped a drop of oil in his life. It is approximately a 5 year proceed. What’s coming online now is stuff that the Bush Administration permitted. Permits are half under Obama than they were under Bush and they take twice as long.

Dana Perino needs to get a clue. Her boss is the reason I am a former Republican and a lot of other smart Republicans who left the party and now all that is left is religious extremists and rednecks.

Actually, the Chevy Volt is really a hybrid and runs on both a battery and good old fashions gas.  The battery is good for about 25-35 miles, and then the gas engine takes over for the next 300 or so miles.  All this at a cost of about $32,000.

YHou should plug it in every day, but if you chose not to, you can just use it as a gasoline powered car.

I’m going to invent a process that will accelerate the way fossil fuels are made that way I can power my car of the future from the dead corpses of progressive democrats, all the people Mao killed and the other great poster child of today’s dumb teenagers Che Guevara.  OHHHHHH, burned you!How you like them renewable resources?

No they don’t but they DO set energy policy, like preventing the Keystone Pipeline from coming down from Canada along with the thousands of jobs it would provide, or stopping drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico and putting thousands more workers out of jobs, all while China and Cuba will be drilling in that same Gulf for the oil our people should be drilling for.  Or how about preventing the drilling in shale in Colorado for oil that would put thousands more to work and help our energy supply.  And that’s just for starters.

Jealous are you?  I don;t blame you …LOL!!  They’re not all Fox employees either…our politicians are prettier than your politicians, nya-nya.  And at least our men, young and old,  can still get it up!  

You mean Maxine…who’d want to find out – yuk!

It’s racist either way. While we seldom agree on anything, I’m glad to see you (or any other conservative) call out others for that kind of crap. Allowing ignorant racists in your tent only hurts you politically. 

 you forgot about the new breed of young progressive reporters like Ezra Klein and his JourNolist.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Klein

mardec, you’re right about the GOP guys. Mark Foley, Larry Craig and David “Diapers” Vitter can all get it up. Real studs, those guys. Just give them a bathroom and a diaper and it’s on. 

 typical progressive democrat response.
What Democrats say is true and anything a Republican or conservative says is a lie.

it would appear that the free ride is over for Obama. Fox being a mainstream media outlet (they are #1) has been pounding away all day.

But you failed to mention that her statement is 100% correct.  

So Pablo, let me get this straight. You agree that more oil is being pumped,as well as much more natural gas. You disagree with seek then, good. Now you give credit to anything positive that happens during this administration to Bush. Anything negative that happens you give credit to Obama. Funny thing about high oil prices and I have talked about this before. The higher the prices are the more oil is pumped from the ground in the states. Because its profitable to do so. So even though its hurting the consumer, it is employing more domestic oil workers. If gas would go down to a dollar a gallon it would put the US oil industry out of business.

oh man you got me
 damn you win with the hindenburg reference

I didnt know you wanted to be my secretary dar dar binks

but of course just like a true progressive you will not to admit anything i wrote is true. There is not enough electricity to power all the cars the tree huggers want us to buy
you will not admit the very short range of the cars. I would not even be able to make it to work in a  all electric chevy volt without stopping for a recharge

now go proof read this secretary dar dar

This is MY country get the heck out! By November even the conservatives will be voting for Mr. Obama!

fox news: we only hire mental midgets, it’s obama’s fault. -

 I can’t trust a democrat that has two first names, one of which is usually the name of a Nascar driver

Hey can somebody get my secretary to fix his last sentence

Totally agree with everything you say, but it ain’t gonna happen. I would think that by now, we would have learned that oil is not the way to go. If you look at all the other advancements in technology in the last 100 years, it is very disturbing that we still rely on oil as our primary source for fuel. All I ever see coming out of the automotive industry is shiny new models and increased gas mileage.

And there you go again Dana.  Like a good little right wing extremist, you are playing the Bush / Republican Party apologist again.  And no…..Obama is not getting a pass.  But, never let Fox fake news, Dana Perino or any Republican let the truth get in way of making up a biased and false right wing story.  The real truth here is that Republican policies in general are the reason why gas prices are up.   The Bush administration tried to spin this into a matter of supply versus demand when that was never the issue.  And now, supply and demand not the issue.  But all of you idiots who vote for republican politicians who are simply the puppets of the oil industry only have yourselves to blame and you have no right to complain.  That is because one of your kind (republican) made all this high gas problems possible when Clinton was on his way out of office.  A self serving republican corporate puppet named “Phil Graham” managed to sneak some legislation into law that made it possible for all this day trading on wall street to drive up the price of gasoline.  Phil Graham……you know this guy.  He is your quintessential republican who believes in screwing over the middle class in order to line the pockets of his true constituents in the oil industry.  This is the same guy who crafted legislation in the early 1980′s that helped Ronald Reagan to line the pockes of the rich and wealthy of this nation by fleecing the middle class.  You guy recall the “Graham – Rudman Bill” don’t you????  This was the piece of republican legislation that Reagan signed into law that made is so a nurse or anyone earning $26,000.00 per year paid considerably more in federal taxes than anone earning over $250,000.00 per year.  Yup repugs….your daddy Phil Graham from Texas pulled another sneaky stunt granting unlimited power to Wall Street day traders as their activities applied to energy and oil and that is what has been driving up the price of gasoline.  Yes Dana…..your daddy Bush had a lot to do with this.

Look at the silly liberals still trying to grasp at straws in another failed attempt to salvage what they can out of a failed president.  No doubt there is a double standard, its blatant.  Liberals are too stupid to know whats going on..lol.

The world is rejecting liberalism.  Canada, Spain,Romania and now Mexico is running a conservative female.  Keep your eyes on Italy and Greece…they’re next.

Obama was found in contempt of court, gave Russia the U.K.s nuclear secrets, gave Iran our top secret drone and helicopter, forces states to ignore immigration laws,  gave Mexican drug cartels weapons that resulted in hundreds of Mexican citizens deaths and at least one American death,  involved in money laundering with Solyndra, and liberals love him.

Liberals are invested in failure

when they crucified President Bush re: prices when they were lower then they are currently.

Well dearie you need to turn off FOX.
The highest recorded gas price for regular unleaded in Kansas City is $4.14 on 7/17/2008.
gas hit an all time at 5.88 a gallon in Hawaii.

You better get something for your pain, because it’s going to last nearly 5 more years.

As for comparisons, how many people did you know who belittled the first lady Bush like you just did Mrs Obama?

why does the President ( Obama ) get a pass on the high cost of fuel, He could do something about it with our oil reserves? The Press didn’t have a problem blaming President Bush for high oil prices. I guess they (the news media, ABC,CBS,NBC)  don’t know what fair & balance is.

Must…shift…discussion…away…from….Ol’ Frothy Santorum….

His actions, invading the Middle East, destabilized the region leading to higher oil prices.

please explain how a nurse making 26,000 per year paid considerably more federal taxes than anyone earning over 250,000.00.  Curiosity has got the best of me.  Yup, please, go ahead.

Tell us about the “sneaky stunt”  Yes “agent of truth” (what a misnomer), do love your revisionist historical nonsense, but that one just begs for explanation.  

Liberal Bias makes me sick.  Obama has been getting a pass his whole life. 

Liberals & fox haters calling women whores- typical.  YAWN!!!

For 3 years Rupert Murdoch has used his newspapers, cable channels, book publishers and radio networks to paint Obama as a racist, a terrorist, a Nazi and the anti-christ, but according to a News Corp. employee he’s getting a free pass?

Sorry Bub, corporate media does not have a liberal bias – but reality does.

Brick OBAMO needs a baseball bat taken to him. Several, actually. This is a start.

Who’s Brick Obamo? He leave you for Paul Babeu? Dude, violence is not the answer. There’s plenty of gay immigrant sex slaves in the ocean. Just let him go, bra.

No, the subject wasn’t.  Take your blinders off.  Your friend dar dar (a little bit above you – wished us dead).   Dana was pointing out the hypocrisy of the left.  She didn’t think Obama should be blamed – she didn’t think Bush should have been blamed, but that didn’t stop you guys.  She had lots of examples on the 5 at 5.  

As a matter of fact, I think the only chance we have to keep our children, pets and household belongings is to get rid of the failure in the White House.  Time for him to take Michelle on a world wide tour (she loves to travel) on his own dime.  

Very interesting comment on the news this morning…not only do gasoline prices go up but also everything and every product which uses petroleum in it’s manufacture, growth, or distribution including much of the food we eat like bread and milk,  pharmaceuticals (already way too high), clothing, appliances, air fares, etc., etc., etc.  That, of course, means staggering inflation in our cost of living.

Until there is a cost effective and marketable replacement for oil in the manufacture and distribution of those things which sustain our daily lives, oil and other fossil fuels are a necessity.  And to pretend that we are ready to replace oil now is folly.

That does not mean we cannot continue looking for and experimenting for ways to find substitutes for fossil fuels in our lives, but until that day comes we cannot pretend that we can get along without drilling and mining for what we know works today and which we know is vital to our lives. 

I don’t blame you…better her than Maxine Waters….or Hillary for that matter

Bush oversaw the deregulation of trading crude oil on the commodities market. So Bush had a hand in the raising gasoline prices. Obama did not.

The reality of life is bias? I have no idea what nonsense you are spewing.

Where I live the price of unleaded gasoline hit $4.25 a gallon during Bushes’ last summer. In the winter that Obama came in it dropped to below $2…it is now $3.50…still WAY below that last year under Bush whose wars caused the rises in the first place….please get facts correct before writing….

That royal grump has got to be a paid progressive blogger. Most likely getting tax payer dollars from Media Matters or some other progressive group like the Center for America Progress to do all the blogging.

While your insults of Fox are obviously false, though less so if you dial it down about 99.9%, Dana’s argument was about non-Fox media. It’s been a lovefest on every other network since Obama became the nominee. As Dana commented yesterday, an open question press conference (incredibly rare) has questions like “if you were a tree what tree would you be?”, “what keeps you up at night?”, and “how great are you?”. Compare that nonsense to ANY press conference Bush gave. If you don’t see the double standard you are a blind fool.

Neil, you guys may as well run with Sandusky because the guys you have now are barely a step above.

Either way, you win the high school food fight. Now please don’t talk to the adults again unless they call on you.

Adults? Honestly, you can’t make this shit up.  LMAO!

So basically it’s about winning to you, and not whether you are able to afford to go to work? Sophomoric.

So you’re saying that it’s awesome now?

Do you own anything plastic? If so, you are consuming oil. We use it whether you like it or not. Electric cars are not “alternative” energy. It still comes from coal-producing plants – many of which have been forced to shut down because the EPA has strangulated them with regulation. So, now, with FEWER electricity-generating plants, you want to put additional demands on them as we may not even be able to keep air conditioners running this summer. So smart you are. Domestic drilling will end a lot of dependence on foreign oil, and it also gives us more options from a defense standpoint. I doubt seriously you will ever see an Abrams M-1 tank running on electricity.

Read “Green Hell”. The environmental movement is completely passive-aggressive. They say they want alternative energy, but really they fight it all.

Put your head in the sand a little deeper. No matter how much oil you find it’s going to run out. Why not get ahead of the game? Be ahead and innovative? What happens if gas goes to $10.00 tomorrow? As demand rises in developing countries (China, India) demand will continue to increase. We have to start somewhere. I expect the internal combustion engine to be with us for many, many more years but not for everyday transportation. If we get with it maybe we’ll only need fossil fuels for that M-1. If we were energy independent we wouldn’t have any troops in the desert. Screw all those third world nuts. Let em kill each other.

Mencius .  Actually Jan Brewer is not so bad to look at.  She’s just mature looking. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is young and boy she is a real babe or maybe you would prefer Sheila Jackson Lee or Nancy Pelosi.  They are real lookers aren’t they. I just love their work in moving our economy along.  Let’s just pass the bill to see what’s in it.  They talk about vitriole and then spew it at every opportunity.  You just have to love them Demons as Maxine Waters says about the Republicans. You have a real problem yourself.  You’re spewing at the computer screen and hopefully you are contributing to the tax base and not spending your time going after conservatives. 

That is why Solyndra, Beacon Power, Evergreen Solar, Geothermal, Sun Power, First Solar and several other green industries crashed and burned along with Billions of Stimulis money that has been added to the national debt.  I don’t see anyone driving those little clown cars that want to push green energy on everyone else.  You need to also review how well wind turbines are working.  That was an eye opener for me.  The use of alternate energy should be a gradual process and shouldn’t shoved down the country’s throat which will create a national security risk when our economy tanks from the crony captialism of the left.  I would think that this is a cloward piven way to nudge people into an industry that is still in it’s infancy and not equipped to handle all the customers demands. Green energy is another attack on our country from the far left.

Love that… and yes, I do think Perino is hot. Party affiliation irrelevant. But while she’s bitching about gas prices and Obama, isn’t it her journalistic responsibility to mention… that the U.S. oil output hit absolute bottom in 2005… and has been climbing ever since? She might also want to throw in, for the sake of objectivity and issue clarity, that the U.S. is now closer to energy independence than it’s been in 20 years… and that this is a trend that started, wait for it, almost exactly four years ago… when we were talking about having to radically increase our natural gas imports (we’re now talking about building a giant export facility for same). I’m just saying… if Obama is getting a “pass”… maybe it’s because, unlike Bush, he’s earned one.

 Which only proves how badly their plan failed.

Poor, poor GOP.  They are always picked on.  Whether it true or not doesn’t matter . . . whenever they can’t win an argument on the merits, they just blame the media for the coverage.  Deflect, deflect, deflect . . .
