The stone that the builder refused
Will always be the head corner stone
You know, the last time gas prices rose over $1/gal. in a few months the media was screaming about it, egging on the public outcry and blaming the WH. All we see now is a blurb here, a minor column there, and a few oped cartoons. Where is the media outrage now?
The media blamed the WH for the $4 gas?
Post some links please.
Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
Proving tax cuts work!
Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.

I don't recall the media "blaming the WH," and yeah, when it went over $4 a gallon for the 1st time ever, it was a big deal, so it was a big media story. I'm starting to see more stories about the rising costs as they (guess what) keep getting higher.
I hardly see the intense bias that you seem to imply with regard to this topic.
That's pretty funny. You give a bunch of links showing that the Democrats, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Carl Levin, the public and Citizens Action New York (not the media) blame Bush for high gas prices and finish it off with this article:
Which seems to suggest that Bush Administration policies did in fact have an impact on gas prices.WASHINGTON - President Bush on Tuesday halted until fall the purchase of crude oil for the government’s emergency reserve. The move came as political pressure intensified on him to do something about gasoline prices, which are expected to remain high throughout the summer.
Bush said the nation’s strategic petroleum reserve had enough fuel to guard against any major supply disruption over the next few months.
“So, by deferring deposits until the fall, we’ll leave a little more oil on the market. Every little bit helps,” he said.
Wholesale gasoline futures prices for June delivery dropped 8 cents a gallon to $2.10 on the New York Mercantile Exchange immediately upon Bush’s remarks.
Hilarious.
Of course you don't see any bias - because you agree with the bias. And if you do not remember the media blaming the WH (specifically, Bush, Bush's war, Bush's lack of government controls, etc. etc. etc. then you have some exceptionally selective recall going on. Either that or you were living in a cave in inner Mongolia at the time.
As far as going over $4.00 - yes it was the first time. Every day was a "first time". Guess what, when yesterday's price set a record, and the next day is higher, well gee whiz, Wally, that is a record, too. That is what was so focused about the media's blitz on the topic of gas prices. Day after day after day "New Record" headlines. Except NORMALLY when a record is set by a continual rise, the actual record is noted at the peak of the rise, not at every point along the way. But the media does like to sensationalize - except when sensationalizing goes against their political bias (like now.)
I hope it keeps going up. Gas is too low right now. It was awesome when it was 5 bucks and no traffic. I could get to work with the quickness. Seriously.
