IF YOU VOTED FOR OBAMA IN 08 TO PROVE YOU WERE NOT A RACIST , VOTE AGAINST HIM 2012 TO PROVE ARE AREN'T AN IDIOT !!!!!

36,000 jobs lost friday alone from NASA , and the numbers keep climbing , gas prices went from $1.86 a gallon in 08 to over $4 a gallon 2011 , Obama keeps pushing the change, the problem is , its not improvement , its just more back sliding into a deeper hole.

@meltdown53 When Obama took office , Gas was $1.86 a gallon and people were going nuts ! calling for Bushs head on a stick !!! , Bush passed the "Drill here Drill now" that would have cut our dependence on foreign oil and created jobs in America for Americans ! , OBAMA REPEALED THAT PLAN THAT BUSH PASSED !!!! cutting jobs , driving up gas prices and hurting America and Americans !!!!

Hussien is an idiot and will be a 1 term President !!!! OBAMA PROMISED CHANGE , NOT IMPROVEMENT !!!

Buying small cars, take public transp., do this or do that..if you see the big picture, it's all controlled..no matter what you do to financially survive or just get ahead, it's already planned to be taken away from you.That's why there are complicated tax laws...corporations influence these laws to hammer the little guy while they make the big bucks and pay little taxes..all planned..you foot the bill for their greed...and they say the pyramid scheme it is illegal..unless you are a corporation.

@meltdown53 Barry doesn't give a fuck. He'll do whatever he can for a quick temporary fix so things seem like they're ok until he's re elected, then he'll do whatever he wants

I say let gas prices rise. With $5 gas maybe Americans would stop driving living rooms on wheels and buy small cars which are adequate for most transportation needs. Perhaps Americans would drive more efficiently instead of constantly breaking the speed limit and racing up to red lights. There's no need for the government to compensate for the bad habits of many Americans. If you're not getting at least 27mpg in city driving then what you're paying at the pump is your own fault.

Turmoil in oil-rich countries is only PART of the story. Prices go up at the pump when 'they' expect us to drive more. Surprise them! Join the "Bike It Or Hike It" campaign (see my video for details). If you don't drive, you don't use fuel. If you don't use fuel, you won't have to buy fuel. Do the math...what kind of ding will 2 days of UNREPLACED losses do? Let's pledge to take our cars (as much as humanly possible) off the roads on April 15th & 16th. This is NOT a useless 1 day boycott
