I remember the Democrats demagoguing President Bush when the price of gas when up, because that’s pretty much all that Democrats know how to do.
Well, let’s see: the price of gas was $1.84 cents for regular and $2.27 for diesel the week after Bush left office.
And what is it now?
OH MY GAWD!!! It is now $2.85 for regular, and $3.08 for diesel as of April 26th.
Let’s see. Math, math, carry the 1… OH MY GAWD!!! That’s a 55% increase in the price of gasoline from George W. Bush.
Where’s Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to demonize the president over the price of gas??? Where are the congressional investigations???
Oh, that’s right. Democrats are great at demagoguing, as long as they’re blaming everybody else. Not so good at taking any kind of responsibility for themselves and what happens under their sordid misrule.
Boy, does hope and change crap ever suck when you stop and think about the actual world.
And expect it to go up. And maybe up and up and up.
“Solidly above $3 a gallon” anyway (quote also cited here). Maybe as much as $5 a gallon, if this drags on as long as some experts are now saying.
Now, let’s say a little more about Barack Obama’s “Hurricane Katrina.”
George Bush was demonized from one side to the other, and then up and down as well. Why? Because, according to the Democrat demagoguery, George Bush waited two whole days before he brought all the resources of the federal government to bear on Katrina.
Here’s a typical liberal salvo from Bill Maher:
“Finally today convoys of troops and aid started to arrive along the Gulf Coast. Five days after the hurricane hit. Kind of makes you miss the innocent days when Bush only sat on his ass for seven minutes. It only took him four days to make a plan, but finally today he said he had a plan. Unfortunately it’s a faith-based plan that involves getting two of every animal onto a big boat.”
Well, this BP drilling site went “boom” nine days ago. And Barack Obama dithered for an entire week before doing a damn thing. And now we’re facing an ecological disaster. And the weather – which was quite nice while Obama was doing nothing – is now a huge hindrance to clean-up efforts.
Which is to say, not only is this all Obama’s fault, but further, that Barack Obama is actually at least three-and-a-half times more to blame for his dithering than Bush was to blame for his.
And, now, as a result of all that Obama dithering, we’ve got a massive crisis that is going to cost Americans billions more at the pump.
Do unto Obama as liberals did unto Bush. Blame Obama. Treat him the way he treated Bush. Judge him by his own standard, and find him sorely lacking in competence or compassion. It’s his fault that gas has gone up 55% – so far. It’s his fault that we have a massive crisis. And it’s his fault that gas prices are going to skyrocket even more than they already have under his misrule.
