I Don't Hear Anyone Blaming Me For Low Gas Prices

[cal04]

Remember when that Newt Gingrich guy predicted that if Obama was elected he would push gas to “10 a gallon”? Gingrich, Bachmann’s challenger for the 2012 nomination, promised $2.50 gas if he was elected.

Gasoline prices will be cheaper this weekend than for any Labor Day weekend since 2004.

1. Remember the wall to wall media coverage hammering Obama when gas prices were high?

What else do you need to know about the media?

Remember all the promises made by the 2008 GOP candidates on the economy?

EVERY ONE OF THOSE PROMISES, those crazy-ass rehortical political blabberings based obviously on false HOPE, mocked by the Left of the political spectrum as pie in the sky dreaming, every one Obama has exceeded!

THAT my, friends, is the Great Leader the media insists Americans everywhere pine and yearn for in these economically ruinous times of 5.1% unemployment and the most robust economy of the G8 by far.....so...... isn't that great leader already here?!

The media amnesia is not an accident or selective, it is what lets them get away with never permitting American to celebrate anything more poignant or real than a rehearsed "reunion" of military personnel at an NFL game, for which the Pentagon no doubt paid for.

4. No president gets accolades when things are good

The motto it's lonely at the top is true.

2. the right and the media has selective amnesia when it comes to this President.

[Fred Sanders]

7. Not selective when it is wall to wall amnesia.

3. Of course not!

The RW hatred of Obama is disgusting and never ending,

He could walk on water and they'd still find fault.

Racism, plain and simple.

6. Yep

5. Pres. Obama is awesome

[Fred Sanders]

9. His Labor Day speech today to unions of the GOP clown train policy statements was priceless!

I expect GOP heads to erupt in a trolling Twitter war forthwith!

The witless twits of the GOP have no idea who they are matching wits with.

[Kath1]

10. Indeed, he is.

Ended that goddamn war as he promised. ACA, support for Planned Parenthood, support for women and minorities. I consider his administration a success!!!!

11. Same here

8. with oil at $35/barrel were gas prices relly that low ?

[Wilms]

12. They are. At least from a historical POV.

This chart runs through 2012. Last time oil was at $35, gas prices were below $3.
