When the "oil" guys were in office there were cries calling for Congressional investigations and hearings when oil prices spiked.

Now crickets from the same group.
The difference?

Because its one of their own in the WH.

Obama's press secretary made a statement that the president does not control the cost of gasoline.

Funny that was never heard before .....

Time = A Liberal's wet dream.

Obama is pushing Green Energy down our throats at the same time wasting trillions of our $$ on companies that are going bankrupt to build Green Energy products. The same guy will be putting all of us out of a job if he keeps going.

AMNESIA!

Retards Democrats and the media..
In 2008 prices at the gas pump surged under President Bush and there was a lot of media attention to that fact, even though it was significantly less than the current rise in prices at the pump. Recently, the Business and Media Institute decided to study how the media covered the situation back then as compared to now.

www.mrc.org/bias-numbers/networks-hype-rising-gas-prices-4-times-more-bush-obama

Well, they found out two things, basically. One, they analyzed stories from four years ago when President Bush was president and from this month when President Obama is president regarding higher gas prices.

And they found that the three networks, the broadcast networks ran four times as many stories about gas prices rising when President Bush was president than now when President Obama was president. I'm shocked by that, by the way.

The second thing they found out is that the tone was different. Today, the stories are mostly unemotional. They're about how the gas prices affect the economy. But four years ago they were very personal about how people were having to make decisions between buying food and buying gasoline.

Of course, the biggest difference is that Bush was a Republican President; and Obama is a Democrat.

I believe, though, that there is a more of a ideological vulnerability for amnesia in Democrats--so IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT!! THEY JUST NEED TREATMENT FOR THEIR TERRIBLY DISABLING CONDITION!
Suggestion: For Democrats, who have little insight into the disorder, voting them out of office so as not to stress the rigid minds of the poor dears further would be very therapeutic; not only for them, but also for the American public. OTOH for the Media: their condition appears to be terminal and lead to permanent dementia

The same "outrage" was put on Bush about unemployment numbers that were lower than what Obama has enjoyed yet no outrage while Obama is at the helm. All is well (Not).

Double standard by the media and some Dem's speaking out of their ass.

Guess which one gets our union funds?
The group / party with the more dismal performance each time, every time.

2008 $4.25 a gallon, but yes media coverage is slanted, we all knew that.
Scott made a very good point back then that sticks in my mind. Something about a $40,000 vehicle, and the difference $15 a tank makes. Somebody find that one.
