Rhett Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 So I am wondering... When Bush was in office and gas prices went up gradually over 7 years everybody was bitching like crazy, Bush this, W that.... But when gas goes up almost $.80 in 3 weeks... I dont hear about anyone bitching about Obama.... Discuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Summer? Winner That and the hedge funds need money so the speculators are doing their thing to crank up prices. This could also be a sign that things are going to start to get together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying your wrong Ramsey.... but its just something I thought about today... Yeah, but i have remembered every summer the prices going up and back down towards winter. I also believe they have gone up more than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comebackkid Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 It sucks because noone can really afford to drive the cars they want with the gas going up all the time. Just leave it at 2$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiji ST Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I was watching a story on CNN last week about how the oil companies aren't pulling in any revenue to help their exploration and R&D, so that's what prices are going up. Probably bullshit, but there's something to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 As long as I am not paying more then $4 a gallon I won't bitch at how big of a jump happens. So what it went up 80 cents in 3 weeks and is still less then $3. Better then paying $4.15 a gallon. Go cry more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Gas has always been anti-inflationary. If gas had followed the CPI it would cost over $3.50 right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I am not crying about the prices... I can afford them with out problem... I am just wondering why people aren't bitch more about gas any more... I guess the only change we have seen is less crying liberals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the spending more, gas prices rising faster, jobs only getting worse, but yet nobody really complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SicShelby Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I think the U.S. is just starting to get used to being bent over the table, almost to the point where they do not complain anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Gas is one of those items that no matter how expensive it is, someone will bitch! Really though, Bush got blamed for Katrina, gas prices, etc... I don't think that we can point one man at things like that. For instance, if Obama made the market go up yesterday, where the hell is he today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SicShelby Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Everything and its mother makes gas prices fluctuate. For example, Obama actually did not make the market go up. I find that every time I take a sh!t that is longer than fifteen minutes, thirty-one seconds, gas prices go up. I know... not much time!! But you are right - I think our President (past and present) has little to do with gas prices. Depends on how much time they get to take a crapper, though :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
