With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.  ~Abraham Lincoln

Pretty soon that partisan hack Hasselbeck will be complaining that Obama shouldn’t breathe until gas prices come down. She’s such an insufferable schmuck, as predictable as the rising of the sun.

Typical “conservative” scum bag talking point. You can more than likely see the same thing on Drudge, Fox “news” or Stormfront.

Okay Elizabeth, gas prices were under 2bucks when GWB left office.  Then we’ll give Obama the same courtesy and see where he can get prices down to by the end of his second term.

Srsly, stfu and talk about something you know about Mrs. Hasselbeck

He should also stop being intimate with his wife until the gas prices drop.
He should also stop playing with his kids until the gas prices drop.
He should also stop playing with his dog until the gas prices drop.
He shouuld stop enjoying himself until the gas prices drop.
He should start fasting and live like a monk until until the gas prices drop.

Please feel free to add to the list of what not to do because of artificial price fix of the speculators.

Obama should come out four-square in favor of oxygen – the right is so anti-Obama that conservatives will asphyxiate themselves in response. 

Not a bad point. If you ask me , we can call the hike in gasoline price the ‘Iran war tax’ and Obama and Congress’ extension of the payroll tax cut a subsidy to offset the Iran war tax hike

Look for food prices to follow suit & if we continue this militaristic posture, look for the GDP to take at least a 0.5% hit per quarter due to inflation in commodities & look for the economy to deteriorate.

If republicans are interested in defeating the president come November, they’re wise to egg the president on in his foreign policies & encouraging him to appease Israel and the whims of the Likudniks & Mr. Netanyahhu in taking on Iran only to be tossed out like an old used rag in November

Hey all you lefties, need to stop being so jealous of Elisabeth’s good looks. And try to fix this, fuel crisis you created.  

STOP THE DEMOCRATS WAR ON GAS.

typical left-wing scum bag response to anyone criticizing Obama.

Under Obama, gas prices have risen 92%

Actually, she is just repeating what the liberal scum bags said about Bush.  You can see the same thing on………

You vile liberal pukes are just so predictable.  

Liz Hassel, another towering intellectual giant from the “I love Romney Crowd”.Knows the “Perfect” Loser to back every time.Stick with something you actually know something about like hair dye.

 did you blame Bush for the high gas prices in sept 2008 when it was $4.85 a gallon???…of course not…only because the economy crashed after that did the prices fall to $1.83….i suppose you would be in favor of prices falling again like that????…..you republicans pay the same tune every spring…this is why Americans will NEVER EVER allow republicans to run the country again

Hey @From_My_Cold_Dead_Hands:disqus  can you do tricks too? I see you learned to repeat words you hear on TV, can you play dead? or roll over too?

 The hair dye has gotten into her brain along time ago. She is good at parroting the Republican/Tea party’s talking points tho.

weird that Hasselbeck wasnt criticizing George W. Bush for busting out into dances and having fun in 2007 while 2 Wars were going on. 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLYyMJ6XY6U I guess Gas Prices are way more serious than soldiers and citizens dying. 

The ignorance that is Elizabeth!  Why she has this platform i’ll never know she’s another Kardashian type of celebrity, no talent.  Does she realize that the President does not have anything to do with the gas prices.  I love this President and I want him to keep singing!  Elizabeth please don’t let facts get in the way of opening your partisan mouth.

Amen brother!!

Well now that the economy is getting better, they have to find new things to complain about. Now they are mad about gas…. and gays… and abortion… issues they fall back on when people realize their economic policies suck (because they are all sellouts to corporations).

Republicans go through life assuming the worst of everyone, because they focus on the negative things in life..

This means, when Republicans get to congress, they already assume that everyone is corrupt.. so why bother playing fair? Only stupid liberal losers play fair… So pretty much every Republican in congress is corrupt, save for someone like Ron Paul. I’d say about half the dems are paid for too but not as much as Republicans.. it’s almost what Republicans are known for at this point.

It’s amazing the the other women on The View have tolerated Hasselbeck’s ignorance for so long!! If Hasselbeck was replaced with a rock, no one would notice!!

Bush bankrupted our country, idiot, he got us in two wars and crashed us into a recession…. we had a right to complain then.

Republicans have no right to complain. Obama is doing an excellent job and will trounce whoever he runs against.

You realize that Obama has spent more in 3 years than Bush did in 8 years, right? Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, forcing banks to give loans to unqualified borrowers is what crashed the economy, my little snarky friend,

She is still a junior high mean girl, who isn’t embarrassed to say idiiotic things like that,  She should go to Fox where she belongs if she wants to make immature, mean spirited statements.

They’ll stop breathing to show him he’s wrong.  What a great idea.

Elizabeth’s good looks are mostly manufactured, the meaner her comments, the uglier she gets!! 

She actually went to a dinner at the White House when we were fighting two wars, no complaints from her about that.  HYPOCRITE

Great and that’s a hollow point, because it was all used to help fix Bush’s mess, and you guys can sigh and guffaw about that… but its the truth.

Our economy is rebounding because Obama spent money…. and it failed when Bush spent money. Obama understands the value of money and hardwork more than Bush, which is why he is winning. Bush failed the country and will go down as one of the worst president’s in American history.

Bush will be the president that almost destroyed the country, while Obama will be the historical figure who saved it… and one day, in hindsight maybe you will see just how screwed up the Bush admin was.

Yep, the US president controls the flow of oil. And sets gas prices. And mandates OPEC policy. And directs all the rampant oil speculation. And he makes the sun rise, too… everything is his fault!

Or ask for a cracker.

Poor Elizabeth.
She gets poked with sticks at GOP barbecues if she doesn’t
spout at least two idiotic wing-nut whines a week.

Saved it?? We’re worse off now than before! Trillions more in debt and nothing to show for it. Could you be anymore brain dead? Do some research. Unemployment is projected to rise to 9.2% next year. Yeah, he really saved us.

He should be chained to his desk and only have 15 min. lunch breaks until the gas prices come down. 

He was/is still cleaning up the crap piles Bush and Co. left behind for all Americans. Get with the program. Americans are not as simple minded as you Republican/Tea Party folks.

I find it ridiculous that a woman who has a net worth of about 12 million and is making 1.25 million plus a year is concerned about the price of  gas.

 She is almost as bad as The Sarah Palin,almost.

Hey doofus! Where were you living? The economy was well crashed by the time Dodd-Frank was signed on July 21, 2010. It was enacted in RESPONSE to the crash and written specifically to address the illegal behavior that caused it.

And the only reason you can say “Obama has spent more in 3 years than Bush did in 8″ is because Shrub put all his spending on Obama’s credit card! Since Bush-for-brains didn’t pay for his wars and tax cuts, now Obama has to.

Your argument fails on all levels.

lol, good one! (and probably true)

Get her off The View and ship her off to do another Survivor.  At least we wouldn’t have to listen to her stupid comments.

DEMOCRATS-
                       ”CLEANING UP REPUBLICAN MESSES
                                  SINCE 1933″!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ms. Hasselbeck, there is a big difference between dancing while we were in an unnecesary War than singing while gas prices are creeping up through no fault of Mr. Obama.  You must stop making DAFFY remarks because along with a lot of others, I wonder how “The View” ladies tolerate you day in and day out also.  hhmmm, hhmmm, hhmmmmm!   The President and First Lady have a right to Sing, Laugh, Dance and however else they wish to socialize as long as it’s done in decency and order and I know they know to do that.  There is a comment that I’d like to remind you of — “Think before you Speak” — It works.

 What does Obama have to do with gas prices?  And are you that naive that you’ve never heard about how the speculation market works let alone the fact that Obama has absolutely no control over what OPEC does?  Boy, talk about your typical right-wing scum bag response…;)

Elizabeth Hasselbeck should keep her mouth shut until the GOP starts creating jobs.

They would. It would be more quiet.

If a reality airhead  said it, it must be true :D

Did Donald Trump say something as intelligent today?

should no one smile until there’s full employment? either she’s taking her opportunity to promote this week’s gop talking points about gas prices or she’s lobbying for the pharma industry and anti-depressants! get a life!!

Of course, the girl who ate bugs on Survivor didn’t utter a peep when George W. Boosh played guitar and ate cake while New Orleans drowned.

 Moron.
Forcing banks.
Angelo Mozillo only became wealthy with a gun to his head.

Of course all the trading in those horrible mortgages was due only to addition to money by duped traders.

 CLOWN
Bush had gas at $.85 before he tanked the economy.

That as good an argument as comparing the current unemployment to an average of 8 years for bush after being handed a surplus.

Or we could add to the list that he should remain depressed until the issue is resolved. Maybe he should not sing or have fun until:
Juvenile diabetes is cured
AIDS is cured
Cancer is cured
Homelessness is erradicated

yet another Obama lackey. Democrats controlled both houses for years before 2010, Einstein.

So I got gas last week, it was 3.59/gallon (no stipulations by Hasselbeck on singing and having fun). I got it this week at 3.66/gallon and now we can’t sing or have fun. At least now I know the threshold for future reference-thank you Elizabeth Hasselbeck. I shall remain somber until the magic 3.65 is reached again! Everybody got that-no fun until 3.65…AT LEAST!

He refuses to allow drilling (Keystone, etc) because he feels the need to kowtow to left-wing loons like you, Jackass

So you want “free” stuff? So you want regulation? If you want the government to lower the _market_ price, why not “come out” as a commie??

So you want “free” stuff? So you want regulation? If you want the government to lower the _market_ price, why not “come out” as a commie??

 He should stop running up record debt until the price of gas drops.
He should stop record deficits until the price of gas drops.
He should stop record foreclosures until the price of gas drops.
He should stop adding record #s to welfare rolls until the price of gas drops.
He should stop giving “sweetheart” green unrepayable energy loans to his political friends    until the price of gas drops.
He should stop adding  record # of people living below the  poverty level until the price of gas drops.
He should stop having his wife and kids vacation at the home of a multi-millionaire until the price of gas drops.

 did you blame Bush for the high gas prices in sept 2008 when it was $4.85 a gallon???”

You libs did.

 But your lib women are just plug ugly before they say word one.

 Amazing how many on Mediate have tolerated your ignorance, bigotry and hate.

Do you get your talking points from Keith Olbermann? I mean you spew the same garbage

Funny, libs on MSNBC and CNN also talk about how the price of gas is affecting them.

Yeah, when Bush was in office , everyone was complaining about gas prices. Now with Obama in, all you libs say high priced gas is just fine.

hahaha

 Does that apply to Obama? he has lost jobs since to took office, so he should just STFU, eh?

Economy getting better?? I can’t stop laughing!!

How are things in the Land of Oz?

Does Obama inflate the tires on Air Force One when he spends 1 million to fly to Orlando or Kentucky to give a speech in front of a backdrop of Cinderella’s castle or a bridge, and then flies home ? Hard times, man. Quit wasting money just because you can.

” I don’t care how into the environment she says she is.  No chick wants to be picked up in a Chevy Volt.”

 I as well as many,many Americans ,unlike the Republican/Tea Party folks,  have a mind of my own and can make my own decision.

Bush kind of sent America into an unjustified war in the middle east, things like that kind of have an effect on oil prices given how much oil is there.

 The word “chick” is an example of what year that you were trying  to pick someone up. I don’t think ladies of the evening care what car you drive Dogg, so no worries for you.

 Yeah, Barry is like Lincoln.

LMAO

That’s a step down from the Messiah you libs made him.

 Funny, when Bush was president that’s exactly what libs said.

Here’s a woman who likes to micro-manage and always casts herself in the role of “queen of heaven”  How  tiresome, she’s always the saint and everyone else the sinner.

If she has her way, nobody’s gonna’ have any gluten in their cookies or a song in their heart.

When Obama came into office, gas was about $1.80/ gallon and that was when we were still in two wars. There is only one now and the Feb gas prices are the highest on record even greater than when Bush was in office.

And YOU did blame Bush for the high gas prices even though much of the price was do to speculation.

Now Obama can either act like a man or a lib coward and blame it on the tsunami, the Arab Spring or ATMs again.

 Who is the moderator of this thread? Is it the person who wrote the article?

Ball-Gag meet Elizabeth Hasselbeck…..Elizabeth Hasselbeck meet Ball-Gag. Ask Rick Santorum honey….I’m sure his wife uses one on him. 

 No one should watch “The View” until gas prices go down. And people get jobs. And Elizabitch shuts up.

Nothing is Obama’s fault. He blames Fox News, the Japan earthquake, George Bush and ATMs.

“Obama doesn’t accept responsibility for gas prices”

http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/obama-doesnt-accept-responsibility-gas-prices/388946

Are you say there’s a portrait hidden in some lonely garret, vile and corrupt beyond imagining, and that her beauty relies upon its concealment?

 A rock would be less irritating.

Whoopie might be “doin’ a Celie” in her Perrier.

 Exactly. After eight years of Bush/GOP policies bringing this country to the brink of ruin, they DARE criticize progressives? WE sure as hell didn’t make that mess. They should be ashamed. But instead we’re supposed to listen to them and vote in the GOP again??? No thanks, we’ll let the grown-ups handle things this time. And don’t even waste your time spewing your nastiness at me, Republicans. After you supported Bush your credibility is ZERO. We don’t care what you have to say.

How did you get “Barry is like Lincoln” from that quote? I guess you’re saying Lincoln was entitled to laugh but Obama is not?

Still a chicken coop, but a few less clucks would’nt necessarily be a bad thing.

Not exactly. We realized it was his “preemptive” invasion of sovereign nations that was causing oil and gas prices to rise.

Bush did have to deal with speculation raising prices, but that does not erase the fact he made a decision that made the situation considerably worse. The price fluctuations under Obama’s watch are largely driven by forces beyond his control.

What do you expect him to do to fix oil prices? Start tightening regulations to try and end speculation? I’m sure Republicans would be all for that. No wait, it’s exactly the kind of thing they would scream blue murder about and call job killing and an attack on wealth creators. How about more oil from Tar sands? Nope, they’re only viable to begin with while oil prices are high. Maybe he should invade another middle eatern nation to free up their oil supplies, I mean, the sabre rattling towards Iran from the right wing and Israel hasn’t caused oil prices to rise any. Oh wait. Maybe he could try drilling more, I’m sure any extra oil that is produced would be released into the American market at way below the current market value… No, can’t see that happening either.

“It’s best to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt.” ~Abraham Lincoln

That was removed?  I’ve seen far, far worse.  I tried “flagging” the monkey remark myself, but could’nt get the flag to come up.  HMMMM.

You’re an idiot, we have 23 straight months of job creation. 

http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2011/10/recession_is_not_inevitable_the_economy_is_getting_better_it_rea.html How ARE things in the Land of Oz?

“I think it was in the Rose Garden where I issued this brilliant statement: If I had a magic wand — but the president doesn’t have a magic wand. You just can’t say, ‘low gas.’” –George W. Bush, Washington D.C., July 15, 2008

I don’t think we need to swing at every pitch someone throws out, I mean see is on the View, and she may not know how gas prices are determined. I know many posters on this site have no idea.

Says the walking talking point. Lol, sad.

Ms Hasselbeck needs to get that painful and debilitating stick out of her pert behind…

…She’ll feel a whole lot better!

He would’ve hated Lincoln just as much, had he been around in those times. 

Excuse me Kevin … turn off Fox News … let’s see: stock market over 13,000, unemployment numbers to lowest numbers in 4 years and our automobile industry with record profits. Want to try again?

Elizabeth Hasselbeck is an idiot.  Wonder what she thinks about W’s JOKING about weapons of mass destruction. What the hell is POTUS supposed to do .. .wring his hands? Yeah, that’s great leadership.  Moron.

Why is everyone carping that gas prices are Obama’s fault?  The pricing analyists all say it has more to do with the world economy and issues in the Middle East than any domestic policies in the US.  We buy gas at bargain prices compared to the rest of the Western world…

I don’t recall Elisabeth Hasselbeck complaining about George Bush when he was golfing as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were raging.  I don’t recall her complaining about the fabulous balls that the Bush White House threw when the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were raging. 

By the way, when was the President of the US put in charge of OPEC?  I know it hasn’t stopped her before, but she needs to stop talking about things she knows nothing about!

 Sorry to say it this way….She fits the Dumb Blond stereotype to a T.

Let’s see to bring gas prices down. Obama would need to tell the Israelis that if they bomb Iran that we will cut all of their funding off completely. No more military help no more giving them enough money to have universal healthcare. {Why do we give them enough money that they can afford universal healthcare when we don’t have it for Americans}

 If we cut ties with Israel many of the Mid East oil producers would probably lower the cost of oil. But we all need to remember that Oil price is not anything the president can do. The price is driven by Oil Speculators…plain and simple.

Unemployment projected to rise to 9.2%

http://www.cnbc.com/id/43708313/US_Unemployment_9_2_Percent_and_Rising

And the Bush administration saw 52 straight months of job creation. So what…

You’ve never had an original thought in your life

I would love to hear the President sing “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” when he contemplates gas prices and his chances for re-election!

She is the only one on the show who can help viewers differentiate between “The View” and MSNBC.  Without her, they may as well have Rachel Maddow, Al Sharpton, Chris Matthews, Ed Schutze and Lawrence O’Donnell hosting the show!

I would love to be stranded alone with her out in the middle of nowhere.  If that can be arranged, I will be happy to listen to whatever crosses her pretty mind.

(If you libs were honest with yourselves, none of you would kick her out of bed!)

Goldwater, great link to an article that WAS DATED JULY 11, 2011.  You’re a moron.  
The article was obviously wrong as unemployment numbers have continued to decline since that date.
GET A LIFE, OR EDUCATION, OR BRAIN.

and if Bush was so great, why is he in hiding now?

Quickly – name the last time he was seen in public?  You’ll have to dig for that answer.

“But..but it could have been better!” -typical teabagger

Any guesses as to the types of vehicles the “lower gas now!” crowd drives?  Wonder how many have also lifted their vehicles…

Get a fuel-efficient vehicle; carpool; walk; etc.

But until *some* Americans realize we don’t control the price of gas, we will have to hear more drivel a la the kind Hasselbeck spouts out.

Let’s start the war on gas, the hot air coming out of your mouth.

Here’s where you’re wrong, Andy.
Obama, in the beginning of 2011, signed a bill which was supposed to effectively end the stranglehold speculators had on the market. It’s not being enforced. Wonder why! Oh, that’s right, lobbyists, and back door deals. None of which was supposed to survive during the most transparent Presidency ever.

 Elizabeth is such a party hack and no credit to our party!  She is a racist who ignores our Lincoln tradition and is a shame to us and we sort of TRY very hard to ignore her.

The average national price on 7/08 was $4.12, the highest in history. On 1/09 price had dropped to $1.61. In 5 months the price of gas went from the highest in history to the lowest in the past 6 years, down 61%. Did the upcoming election have anything to to with it? Presidents have no control of gas prices but the refineries in Texas do.

You see!! There you go again! It’s becoming “predictable” now. Although it was impromptu, people had alread said that if President Barack Obama did “anything” during that music event at the White House, some folks were going to pounce on it. The President knew that as well. I don’t think that what he did with the song thing was bad at all. But to some folks, whatever this president does is “wrong” and God knows that they can’t stand to see him having a little fun. Hey, gas prices are not going up because of President Obama is in office. You know that! They are going up, well…’ because they are “going up”!

I was never a Bush fan, never voted for him, but when he took a vacation, it was usually to his ranch, which cut the costs to the taxpayer, not luxurious vacations every two months that cost the taxpayer millions!  What did the Hawaiian Christmas vacation cost the taxpayer?  Over 4 million dollars!  Elizabeth is the only person on that show with any kind of Common Sense.  Course, Common Sense is a foreign word to the sick Left!

 SO TRUE

 VERY TRUE

Kudos Bob.  Does this dimwit remember when George W. and his sidekick Condoleeza Rice did a skit at one of the White House Corespondence Dinners.
They went around the oval office lifting cushions, looking under tables and chairs and saying “No weapons of mass destruction here”. And to add insult to it all General Barry McCaffery was seen laughing in a cut away shot. Real funny to be
lied into a war and have these two clowns laughing and joking while our soldiers were being killed and mamed in Iraq. Hasselbeck the stereo typical dumb blond!
Can’t figure out why she does’t remember moments like this.  

http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?v=CwPG-7FTkyM

You’re uninformed my friend.

Until the end of his presidency, when the country was losing 700,000 jobs a month.

If this witch were really concerned about the
economy she would say that corporate America should not be raking in record
profits and awarding bonus’s while we are in this type of economy, they should
create jobs instead of giving themselves bonus’s or raising the prices of
gasoline just because they feel like it. 
The president has done none of these things, he HAS tried to create jobs
whereas the republicants, corporate America, big oil and Wall Street have done
everything they possibly can to stop any jobs bills, reduction of gas prices,
fix the banking fraud on Wall Street.  The
list is endless when it comes to how the republicants and their friends are
STILL raping America in a recession and thwarting any improvement to justify
their bigotry against the President.  So
Excuse me Elizabeth Hassebutt if I disagree with you thought that the President
is not allowed to sing.  At least he is
not out wining and dining and gouging the Americans, what about you Hasselliar,
how many designer frocks have you draped yourself in during this recession.  How much do we need that?  The President is not taking billions of
dollars in campaign donations from China to promote off shoring the rest of
American jobs, while the ‘American Chamber of Commerce’ and the republicant
party are.  Therefore, I think you had
better start doing something to fix the economy before you start criticizing
you stupid republicant witch 

No, they are not OK, but the President is raising the price of gas. The people raising the gas prices are republicants, look at the source FOOL. Try the Kock brothers; they have prospered quite well in our DEPRESSION, selling oil and gas to poor Americans like us. They have increased their net worth to 40 BILLION PLUS for each of them. That is a net increase in their net worth of; approximately 30 BILLION during the depression off the backs of Americans and guess what they do not even pay taxes on it either. So Hassleliar & Ted26, complain about the right people when you complain about the price of gas
