Watched some bits and pieces of some of the Sunday shows today and am very confused. In 2008 when the gas prices were going thru the $3.00 and then the $4.00 price ranges, every news report and Democrat was blaming President Bush and calling on him to do something to help the poor American consumer. He was blamed for everything.

Here we are in 2012, exactly 4 years later and all the news reports and Democrats are saying this in not President Obamas' fault and he says he has no silver bullet to fix the problem and MSM supresses as many reports as they can.

If I remember correctly from 2008, President Bush made some decisions to open some areas for drilling to increase the domestic supply and within a few months', the price of gas was under $2.00. In fact, when President Obama was sworn into Office, the price of a gallon of regular gas was around $1.87. The decisions Bush made to open drilling areas are now producing oil and is allowing Obama to stand in front of your camaras and espouse that his administration is producing more oil than at anytime in the last 4 years while he has limited the amount of permits and leases to approximately half of what Bush did.

Us poor middle class urban Americans are struggling out here and you media elites have sold your soles to the progressive agenda and could care less. The only thing you worry about is being able to get that next interview for your ratings. I bet you, Brian, and most of your snobby friends do not even have cars and have no idea what it is like to have to $300 dollar fuel bill each month. If you do, I am sure you do not mind it with your $20 million dollar per year income.

    Bush saw the high cost of gas in 2008 and asked the Saudi King to lower the oil cost for the US and the Saudi King said no. 2008 the oil companies made history making profits 900 billion dollars because of the years of high oil prices. Bush and Obama has said it over and over again why oil prices go up but it seems no one is listening. Israel is threatening to attack Iran and draw the US in a War so the oil prices go up because of fear, the Presidents have no control but Congress can make policies to correct the current issues. California prices 2006 $3.00, 2007 $3.57, 2008 $4.60, 2009 $3.20 and today $4.14 cents. Gas prices were close to 2 dollars gallon in 2004 and made up stories can't change the facts.

      Prices of fuel in California do not count as they have their own rules. Your prices are always higher. Talk about the national average. Democrats always thought Bush controlled everything.

      Do you dispute the avg. price for gas was under $2.00 when Obama took office?

        Well we're very lucky with Obama's new plan for biofuel that New York and DC is the Saudi Arabia of pond scum.

          Could we some how turn everything inside the I-695 beltway into biofuel?

            Great report Lester

            My prayers go to Mr. Mandela.

            The Supreme Court will have to decide if Corporations can pick and choose when they want to be people. For funding elections they was allowed that they are people but for crimes they become buildings. The Foreign Courts will be watching and use the same policies when charges US citizens.

            Thank goodness we wont have any more of the clown debates it is so embarrassing. Things have gone so bad Ann Romney said she will do any remaining Debates for Mitt. Rick Santorum is looking to be the US Grand Ayatollah and Newt is just lying about how he can do magic by getting gas prices at 2.50 and hopes people believe that lie. Newt wants our 51st State to be on the Moon. Now Ron Paul is the smartest of the group. Paul is working with Mitt and maybe Ron can get his son Senator Rand Paul as the VP. Billionaires are pouring in money to get their candidate nominated. Some Law Makers feel President Obama should not be allowed to campaign nor should he be allowed to have a PAC. Every President who won a second term has campaigned but it seems this President shouldn't.

            As Iran laughs at the fuss being made over lies about them building a nuclear weapon and Israel citizens don't want a war but the leaders are looking to push the US to invade Iran like we did Iraq. It seems the new North Korean Leader is jealous and now says he will attack the USA. No wonder people laugh at the USA. All this talk about who should or shouldn't have nuclear weapons but Pakistan, North Korea and Israel all proudly show off their Nukes and threaten countries. The Saudi King finally wised up and is going to build his own nuclear weapons and don't expect to hear any complaints.

            have a great evening all
