The drilling moratorium has nothing to do with this?

How about we just lynch all of the fucking speculators who have artificially raised the prices in the name of greed? Treat their rotting corpses like pinatas. Spade and neuter their fucking children, just in case the greed gene might be passed on.

You really should read the links you post. Most of the first page results on your Google search are "Bush Blames Democrats for High Gas Prices" or similar.

What was your point again?

Somehow I'm not the least bit surprised that you missed the point.

If the point was that either side will always blame the other, even if they had nothing to do with it, then I got it.

However, I suspect Marc's point was that Democrats are weasly, flip-flopping liars and will say anything to make themselves look good. I only agree with that point if you change the word "Democrats" to "politicians".

Is there some other, more sublime point that you could educate me about?

My point is the media coverage
I like to post searches cause it is less cherry picking

You know, just what you did here

Reading is for nerds and losers. What are you, some kind of factinista? Stop reading the details and just go with your gut on stuff like this.

Did you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than in your brain? Yep. Which is why going with your gut makes a lot more sense. Now, I know, you're going to say "I looked that up and it's not true." That's because you READ it. Next time, check your gut.

Strange but I don't hear alot of Republican's crying foul on the current gas price situation.

Obama is getting ahead of the curve on this issue. He knows that sooner or later the media will get off their asses and start questioning why gas prices keep rising. And since the media blamed former presidents in the past, Obama wants to deflect that blame away from him this time. So he's forming an investigative team to push that blame off onto others, to try and keep his own ass off the hot seat.

Maybe Bush should had done an investigation on those who artificially raise fuel prices. Time to rein in the gougers.

Yet another example of how lefties think those conservatives that will not agree with them are stupid, uneducated or both

Arrogance on parade!

Better than that...elitism on display. Only thing that's missing would be Amazon chiming in about some problem with the pubic area or sexual relations with farm animals stupidity.

Yep. Elitism and arrogance. Obsession with facts. Ivory tower, out of touch with real americans etc etc etc. If those are the names I get called for not being one of the ignorati, I can live with that.

It's too bad not everyone can descend to your level.

That would certainly be a start, there are quite a few in this country and across the world who think only of their own profit at the demise of others.

That would be virtually everyone in business, as far as I can tell.

I'm assuming you mean expense, and not demise -- most businesses really aren't willing to kill. But business is about making profit, and if you look at the internet bubble, Enron, and the recent mortgage crisis, it should be pretty clear that few biggies give a shit about anything but their own profits.

There are many, many decent people out there. It doesn't take a lot of leaders with doubtful morals and a shitload of money to mess it up for a whole lot of others.

So what you're saying here perfessor is because you are more educated and have the ability to format a more comprehensible sentence you are somehow better and your opinion is more worthy.

Thanks for proving my point.

Even if that wasn't his point, it's true. Generally speaking, the opinions and input from more educated people are more valuable than those from less educated people. How could you possible disagree with this?

I don't post much on here (very, very rare as a matter of fact,) but I sure do read of lot. I have downtime in my job that allows me to play around on the web, and find myself coming to dz only to read.

I completely agree with you on your take on politicians, both sides of the aisle, but what escapes my mind is even the slightest acknowledgement of the op's initial point.

This thread is not about who was at fault in 2008 or today, but rather that the current POTUS has shown to be hypocritical at times when dealing with any matter anyone can construe him at fault.

I know highly educated people who cant change the lead in a mechanical pencil. And they have successful careers
Conversely, I know people who never graduated high school who can take pile of metal and turn it into a complex machine and have very successful businesses.

Your position serves only to try and minimize those with whom you do not agree with in a debate

A bigoted and small position in my opinion
