Gas prices

I had the funniest freaking post of the week in this thread, possibly the best Cawacko burn ever, and the only people who noticed are top and damo! The rest of you suck!
 
WTF? Seriously? Got bent over for $4.35 yesterday and that was for 89. I let the car get to empty so I had to go to the nearest station but the best I've seen here is in the $4.20's.

Yeah, seriously. It just ticked back down to $2.97 yesterday. (also for 89)
 
Hey, that was funny! Glad you pointed that out, Darla - I missed it the 1st time around.

Poor Freak. It's tough to not have humor, on top of not comprehending the wonderfulness that is Obama.

Please believe me, I noticed. Still taking notes actualy. So...expensive champagne is kind of relative; specific brands would be helpful. Thanks.
 
3. Big Oil Made a Record $137 BILLION in Profits Last Year: Just the five largest oil companies — ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, BP, Chevron, and Shell — booked a combined profit of $137 BILLION in 2011, even though these companies produced 4 percent less oil in 2011. And of course Big Oil’s record profits are directly related to increasing pain at the pump for American consumers:

4. Republican Politicians Oppose Ending Taxpayer Handouts to Big Oil: Every Republican presidential contender and nearly every Republican member of the House and Senate has signed a pledge to oppose ending taxpayer handouts to Big Oil — handouts that will add up to more than $40 BILLION over the next ten years. In addition, Republicans have repeatedly voted in lockstep to block efforts to repeal the tax giveaways to Big Oil. President Obama, however, remains undaunted and has once again included repeal of these wasteful giveaways in his budget for 2013.

5. Republican Politicians Want to Cut Big Oil’s Taxes Even More: Both the House Republican budget plan released last year (and supported by nearly every Republican member of the House and Senate) and the tax plans of every GOP presidential contender call for cutting the corporate tax rate by one-third or more. This huge tax cut could result in another big windfall of billions of dollars for Big Oil. By contrast, President Obama has proposed closing wasteful tax loopholes and wants to clamp down on the use of foreign tax shelters (ExxonMobil uses at least 20) that allow huge corporations to avoid paying their fair share in U.S. taxes.

The oil companies and the Teapublicans will do anything to get Obama out of the White House. That includes gouging the American public, then trying to blame it on the prez.
 
I blame President Obama on this one, we have had three years to make energy independence a national "moon shot" priority and he has not done it. If we had made it the number one priority and it was still at $4 I would not be blaming him, but we have not done it.
