Feeling pain at the pump? Gas prices have doubled since Mr. Obama took office. According to the GasBuddy gasoline price tracking web site, the price of a gallon of regular gas was around $1.79 when Mr. Obama took office. Today the national average is $3.58. The lowest average price in the continental United States is $3.31 in Tulsa Oklahoma, the highest is $4.14 in Santa Barbara, CA. Four-dollar-a-gallon gas has arrived on average throughout California, and a number of other states are headed in that direction.
Consumer price index (CPI) figures from February show an unadjusted 12 month gasoline inflation rate of 19.2%, but in the last month alone prices jumped 6.8%, probably because of oil price increases due to instabilities in the Middle East. If the trend continues, gas prices would double again within a year. 100% gasoline price inflation is nothing to brag about, but imagine Mr. Obama going into the 2012 election having to explain why gas costs $7.00 a gallon. I'm sure the White House would spin it as one of their "Green" initiatives. (1 image)

The similiarities to Carter continue. Remember how the uber Left here and elsewhere rejected that comparision a year or so ago?
Kinda amusing to recall that...

Yeah, Carter was so 'right' he lost in a historical landslide in 80.
Just like Owe-bama will next year, again, thanks for bringing up another similiarity.

He lost because of the botched hostage rescue just prior to the election. It was the first October Surprise, but wouldn't be the last.

The irony of Jimmy Carter is that he was correct about everything from oil to the mideast.

You haven't shut up about sucking dick since Yukon was outed, maybe you would find more threads relevant to your interests on the link he posted.

The fact that Reagan took down electric panels from the White House Carter put up should damn that man for all eternity and I am sure it will.

It's easy enough to do...I just put "Happy Quazia" in the search function and there they be...
#17. To: Rek (#9)
While that was a factor, he lost because the economy sucked, and his economic policies excerbated that situation.
I hear you knockin...go back where you been....

I wonder if his boyfriend swallows or does let it drool down the front of his dirty blue dress?

Don't let his boyfriend catch you talking about his backdoor girl that way. He's already in a bad mood that after all that effort he still can't make 'her' preggers.
