Umm, are you saying Bush was worse than Obama? Obama has continued every awful, wasteful, unethical policy of Bush's like they were BFF

Weekly Conventional Retail Gas Prices http://205.254.135.24/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/wrgp/mogas_history.html

Bush Era: January 21, 2001 1.456 January 19, 2009 1.832 Average during entire Bush administration: 2.099

Obama era: January 23, 2009 1.813 October 3, 2011 3.381 Average during Obama administration so far: 2.827

Do you really want to turn this into a Bush hate thread? At least know your facts before you try. BTW, I didn't vote for Bush either time before you automatically make another stupid assumption and statement. Those pesky facts just always seem to get in the way don't they?

Liars figure and your figures lie...plus you must be a glutton for punishment at the pump. To each his/her own.

Haha -- Wow, an unwinnable argument with facts provided by THE SAME GOVERNMENT to which your precious Obama belongs? These are not my figures you tool. These numbers are provided by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (of the Department of Energy) with the IP address instead of the URL to see how you would react, and you reacted exactly as would be expected.

Maybe this will help you out a little bit since you can't or won't see past the nose on your face to face the facts of REALITY? http://www.eia.gov/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/wrgp/mogas_history.html

Damn those pesky facts - damn them, damn them, damn them to hell with the TEA Partiers I say!

Are you blaming them for not allowing offshore drilling in the US?
