FAUX News/ Drudge etc. are already starting the "blame Obama for the gas shortages etc"

[jezebel]

that are going on in NY/NJ.

Pat Caddell (good Democrat to Faux News) is on right now saying Americans are going to see people in these gas lines and without electricity and blame Obama.

It's their new Benghazi.

1. LOL

the only people paying attention to those rightwing hacks are, well, rightwing hacks

[Lone_Star_Dem]

5. Damn. You said that better and with less words than I did below.

I need lessons.

[Skittles]

6. I WILL KICK LONE_STAR_DEM ASS

WHILE TEACHING THE ART OF BEING SUCCINCT; yes INDEED

[Lone_Star_Dem]

11. LOL! I think I peed my pants a little!

I've a few family members I would love to have you call to get off their butts and GOTV, though!

[Skittles]

17. I'm VERY impatient

"I can feel my hair growing, waiting for you to get to the point." Hints like that move people along nicely.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

2. Meh, they beat one dead horse until there was nothing left.

So, they find another "issue" to rally their nuts with. It doesn't have any effect on anything real. It's isolated to their little niche of followers.

3. Wow, fox and drudge are lying and misrepresenting facts. That isn't news

[WilliamPitt]

4. NY/NJ are solid blue.

No political/electoral effect.

[EC]

7. Is it a gas shortage

or lack of electricity to make the pumps work?

[SteveG]

8. There is plenty of fuel in the region - but no electricity

It's not a fuel problem, its the fact that without electricity they can't get it out of the underground storage tanks. Since the power companies are privately we can blame the corporations.

[OneMoreDemocrat]

12. Actually, yeah it's a fuel problem too...

...at least here in Montclair and the surrounding areas.

Most places are completely sold out...says so right on their lighted signs.

[onethatcares]

16. no, they'll blame the President for

not nationalizing the gasoline supply and not checking the tire pressure and under the hood while he pumps their gas.

This shit makes it insufferable to read other forums where the wingnuts spew.

[sinkingfeeling]

9. How stupid! How is gasoline to be delivered in a flood?

[yellowcanine]

10. Caddell is a media whore who is trying to make news.

He never has liked Obama and is looking for a hook. There are always gas lines after a major storm which knocks out power over a large area. And people understand that it takes a while to get the power back on when there is this much damage.

[Shankapotomus]

13. Right wing climate deniers like Limbaugh

are to blame. They have been denying it for years and now it is upon us.

[OneMoreDemocrat]

14. Maybe I'm just biased 'cause I'm in the middle of it...

...but I really doubt anyone will blame Obama for the gas shortage who lives here, no matter what FOX tells them and hopefully anyone else who actually thinks will hold their blame as well.

It's pretty obvious here what the problems are. No gas, no electricity, no way for the trucks to get here to replenish the supply, and an enormous demand (for generators as well as cars).

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Yeah, It Just Can't Be That Storm

It was only one of the worst storms ever. How could that have anything to do with it?

[lpbk2713]

18. The same idiots who used to say BushCo had nothing to do with gas production.

Wouldn't it be nice if they could get their poutrage together?
