Gas prices were insanely rising since 2002. Why can't he just STFU and play golf until he's relieved in January? He reminds me of OJ who keeps talking to the press about finding the real killers. Just shut up and wait until you can go away and be forgotten.

Well, they said they would lower gas prices.

Mugato: Why can't he just STFU and play golf until he's relieved in January?

He vowed to stop playing golf because he started the war in Iraq. Now, he's bored and has nothing else to do but randomly blame the democrats for stuff.

President Bush on Saturday blamed the Democratic-led Congress for the high cost of gasoline and renewed his call for expanded offshore drilling to increase U.S. oil supplies.

"To reduce pressure on prices, we need to increase the supply of oil, especially oil produced here at home," Bush said in his weekly radio address.

too bad this never occurred to him when he had full control of the government.

Dancin_In_Anson: Well, they said they would lower gas prices.

Yeah, let's grumble at the Democrats for not fixing Republican-caused problems fast enough. THOSE JERKS!

Side point...
China went from a net exporter of oil to importing roughly twice Iraq's total oil production from the span of the first Gulf War to now. Throw in the other Asian economies that the U.S. is hyper accelerating and, you have some serious new oil consumption that makes Iraq look small in comparison.

Conservative Christian, Right Wing, Republican, Straight, White, American Fail.

/you go snide, I go Snider

It's shocking how much the DemocRAT party screwed up all the amazing things that Bush and the Republican Congress did in 6 years. All that drilling and increasing of refining capacity the glorious GOP accomplished in the golden years of 2001-2007, all shot to hell by those America-hating Demoncraps.

Yesdog: Yeah, let's grumble at the Democrats for not fixing Republican-caused problems fast enough

Hey...the said they'd do it and they haven't done shiat.

The Dems have failed us, I'm thinking if we vote republican we can solve all the problems.

His lips were moving,It's Bulshiat.



laugh at your filters

Dancin_In_Anson: Hey...the said they'd do it and they haven't done shiat.

OK, granted.

As much as conservatives must be unhappy with the current spend-crazy administration, we liberal douches are frustrated by roll-over Democrats (like Nancy "impeachment is off the table" Pelosi and Barak "run to the middle" Obama). I swear I don't even recognize any effective liberals in government anymore.

Mordant: President Bush on Saturday blamed the Democratic-led Congress for the high cost of gasoline and renewed his call for expanded offshore drilling to increase U.S. oil supplies.
"To reduce pressure on prices, we need to increase the supply of oil, especially oil produced here at home," Bush said in his weekly radio address.i>

"A record 1.6 million barrels a day in U.S. refined petroleum products were exported during the first four months of this year, up 33 percent from 1.2 million barrels a day over the same period in 2007. Shipments this February topped 1.8 million barrels a day for the first time during any month, according to final numbers from the Energy Department." http://uk.reuters.com/article/oilRpt/idUKN0325640920080703?sp=true

Gee, if you actually wanted to increase US supply of farkin REFINED PETROLIUM PRODUCTS, there appears to be an easier way.
1.6 MILLION REFINED BARRELS a day! Just shoot the farker, please.

Where is the American Press on this?? SShhh.

snocone: Where is the American Press on this?? SShhh.

The market is fungible.

Bush really is a psychological infant. "No, it's your fault!"

I blame the Rublican party, myself.


Hey, you drop two letters, I get to drop two letters. Learn to spell, subby.

FruitlandGenerics: I blame the Rublican party, myself.

Rublican.

I like it.

Yesdog:

They not only didn't undo Republican made problems, they continued to rubber stamp whatever Bush wanted.

Crosshair: They not only didn't undo Republican made problems, they continued to rubber stamp whatever Bush wanted.

The Republicans have been keen on pointing that out. Their guy never did anything wrong, but the people who didn't stop him are monsters.

somehow they found logic in there.

Come to think of it, have you ever seen OJ and Bush together? hmmmm...

Well, oil (and as a result gas) prices have gone up astronomically since ems took congress, Bush wants morte drilling but the tree hugger dems say no, and then they left on vacation. Yeah, looks like it's a dem problem to me.

I bet Bush didn't mention which bill the Dems passed that raised gas prices.

/DRTFA

Mordant: The Republicans have been keen on pointing that out. Their guy never did anything wrong, but the people who didn't stop him are monsters.

Um, quite a few republicans were booted out in 06 and more still kept their seats by slimmer margins than usual. Sounds like the people found quite a bit wrong with their republican representatives.

Democrats, what can't they do?

Accomplish anything?

Hey charts don't lie...

Spanky_McFarksalot: Hey charts don't lie...

Correlation =/= causation. But I'm sure you knew that already.

What can't they do?

Apparently drill for oil....

Dear Bush,

It's ok if you blame Democrats for high gas prices. The rest of the world blames you for everything else that is farked up.

Spanky_McFarksalot: Hey charts don't lie...

Never mind that it has increased the entire time bush/republicans has been in office.

Yeah, and if we drill for more oil won't HAVE to export it because we are almost at full refining capacity right now? Plus, if someone is gonna pay more somewhere else it's either going there or prices are going up here.

DoWhatNowToWhat: Never mind that it has increased the entire time bush/republicans has been in office.

Yup, a gradual increase followed by a huge massive spike...when Nancy came to power.

Coincidence? Hmmm.

/actually yes, but I just like tweaking partisan noses who ignored correlation/causality when it served their purposes in many a thread.

Spanky_McFarksalot: Hey charts don't lie...

Does it hurt to be stupid?

Nevermind.

Hey Spanky. You know what else happened in 2007?

Since a close relative of mine is an accountant for a big oil Texas company, I am getting a kick out of the concept of limited refining capacity. Less real than the honest politician, Easter Bunny, you pickone.
Yes, Virginia there is a Santy Claws.
All hail the salt domes of Texas.

Dancin_In_Anson: Hey...the said they'd do it and they haven't done shiat.

GWB said : 'I would work with our friends in OPEC to convince them to open up the spigot, to increase the supply,' Mr. Bush, the presumptive Republican candidate for president, told reporters here today. 'Use the capital that my administration will earn, with the Kuwaitis or the Saudis, and convince them to open up the spigot.'


This was when campaigning in 2000. When Bush did ask them to "open the spigot" recently, the response was "DIAF."

But I'm sure that's the Democrats' fault as well.

Tsunami Ditka: Spanky_McFarksalot: Hey charts don't lie...

Correlation =/= causation. But I'm sure you knew that already.

Next you're gonna say that the fact that Pelosi looks like an alien from V isn't causation enough for you.

Open your eyes man.

Rockdrummer: Well, oil (and as a result gas) prices have gone up astronomically since ems took congress Bush became President

Since we're using the whole correlation equals causation canard and all.

Then why has the Left Side of the Aisle stymied every effort to build new refineries in the U.S. for over the past 30 years? More refineries would dramatically reduce gas/diesel prices... or didn't you know that?

guilt by association: Does it hurt to be stupid?

I don't know you have the experience, you tell me.

Spanky_McFarksalot: guilt by association: Does it hurt to be stupid?

Hey, it's something I know a little something about. Yeah, it hurts but mostly only when I'm awake.

Mostly.

Pot, kettle called. You're a negro.

Damn it, in a forum a few hours before this happened, someone posted "nah they won't blame clinton, they'll blame the democrat congress" DAMN IT WHY DOES BUSH GET HIS IDEAS FROM FORUMS!

They have stymied what little they could because we do not need any further refining capacity for domestic production. Oil wants more refineries so that they can sell more refined product overseas and place new refineries in their geographical selection to lower cost of transport. Not for you.
Production of domestic gas/diesel(same as heating oil-different color) was reduced last month due to oversupply.
