four more years of bush / cheney?

We are currently experiencing the LONGEST period of little or no economic growth. Even the Great Depression, did not last this long. We had the credit standing and clout to borrow $5 trillion, in order to supposedly "jump start the economy" but that hasn't worked. Unemployment remains above 8%, which was never even supposed to happen, if we approved the first stimulus, which was about $700 bil. Since then, unemployment spiked at over 10%, and REAL unemployment was upwards of 20%, and higher for some minorities and groups. New jobs are being created slower than workers are entering the workforce, and we already have MILLIONS out there, who haven't found a job, in spite of their education. Most of us are living in this very real world, we are dealing with it in our personal lives, we are making hard choices and sacrifices in order to survive. To pretend that we were in some 'tin pan alley' situation under Bush, but now we're all better, is nothing but Liberal FANTASY!

We are in the LONGEST period of little economic growth as a result of how bad the Bush Recession really was, thank God the election was when it was so that we could begin the LONG process of digging out.

Well you don't need God to tell you this, you just need to look at a fucking map! The bulk of our middle eastern oil supply comes from the Saudi's through the Straits of Hormuz. If we lose access to that, we have no oil to replace it, the strategic reserve will last about a week, and that's it. It's possible we might be able to get more from Mexico or Canada, but they aren't likely going to sell it to us cheap, with the Saudi oil off the market. You've destroyed all other options here, so the bottom line is, you will suffer the consequences. You might not believe that now, there's no doubt you don't, you're just a mindless twit running around parroting what you hear from other mindless twits. To put it in a way that even a moron like you could understand, the Straights of Hormuz are like our nutsack. If Iran decides to have a showdown, what are we going to do about it? Dispatch Hillary Clinton? Call the UN?

Gas will be $10 overnight... in 6 months, you will be more than happy to pay $20 IF you can find it.

As for products that have to be transported, especially refrigerated transport, those will all become so expensive you'd need to be a 1% to afford them, so you'll have to learn to like things like dry beans and rice, because that's all you'll be able to afford. Now, this may all inadvertently create some opportunities for small business in creating new ways of distribution, etc., and perhaps even create a few jobs, but it's not going to be fun getting there.

All it takes, is for Armordinnerjacket to go a little squirrely, and the feckless diplomatic policy machine of Obama's to run its course, and this is a reality.

I'd like to point out, the Obama/Liberal foreign policy for the middle east, is not working. We were told, if America gets out and minds it's own business, and stops starting wars over there, they would stop radicalizing and trying to kill us, but they haven't. If anything, the radicals are more in control than ever, and our completely feckless foreign policy has yet to come back to bite us in the ass on this... it WILL inevitably. We once had a strong and stable ally in Egypt... that is gone now. We once had, at least a handle on Libya and it's nutbag leader... GONE! We've all but turned our backs on our ally, Israel, and Iran is still defiantly giving us the finger, which was never going to happen once the Great Obama was elected! We're supposed to be dancing arm-in-arm with Ahmadinejad by now, who is just happy we got rid of Cowboy Bush and elected a 'worldly' man like Obama.

The results of our Liberal-created military 'erectile dysfunction' over there, has resulted in gasoline costing $4 a gallon, and LAUGHS at the IDEA we might once again see it below $2, as it was under Bush. This has caused essentially everything that is transported, to skyrocket in price, which is the last thing a fledgling over-burdened economy needs. This is not to say that we need to be over there blowing shit up, so we can have $2 gas, but the fact of the matter is, the Obama/Liberal idea of how to deal with radical Ismlamofascists, has not worked. By any honest measure, it has been an abject failure, just like everything else this man has tried.

Time will tell, just how much it has hurt us, in terms of intelligence gathering and strategic advantage. Something tells me, if the Iranians blocked the Straits of Hormuz today, and threatened to launch an attack on Israel if we tried to defy it, this administration would literally sit on it's thumbs and DO NOTHING! Just as they did with Egypt and Libya! If that should happen, and it could happen at any moment, look for your gas pumps to show $10 gallon overnight. In six months, you'll gladly pay $20 a gallon, IF you can find it. You wanna know what a gallon of milk or pound of ground beef will cost you then???

More bullshit Dixie lies...

Gas just dropped nearly 20 cents a gallon in the past week alone...so much for his $4 a gallon bullshit.

But the change you recommended has not worked, and that's not Bush's fault. I don't even think the recession can honestly be called "The Bush Recession" other than it began under his watch. His policies were not what caused the housing mortgage crisis, which is what triggered everything else. He is guilty of trying to be a McCainzean Moderate" and sign into law, at the behest of liberals, the "Poor Get Low Interest Homes Act." I raised hell, along with many conservatives, when he did that, and you libtards hardly even noticed it, you were too busy drawing Hitler mustaches on Bush images.

And in SPITE OF who is to blame for the recession/depression, The Obama ran for office on the promise he could fix it, along with the adamant reassurances from Liberals that they knew exactly how to drive the car out of the ditch. Well, the car is still in the ditch, the engine is about blown now, and we have no more tires. We have but the smell of burnt rubber to console us in a moment of Wile E. Coyote FAILURE, yet again!

Poor Zapped... smoked so much dope that he can't even bother to read the 'context' of the posts. Gas is still well above what it was PRE-Obama. Newt Gingrich got literally laughed off the subject when he dared mention the prospect of $2.50 a gallon gas! That's how far we've slid, in terms of perception. Gasoline should cost us no more than about $1.50 a gallon, that's WITH all the EPA regulations for environmental safety and guaranteeing clean water and air, included. But as long as the "sheeple" believe it won't ever be below $2 a gallon, guess what I predict it will never fall below???
 
Dixie, check out the average price during the Bush regime, then compare it to the average price during the Obama administration.... Then get back to us, ok?

Well, I could do that if I thought it beneficial to manipulate averages to make a political point in spite of the obvious, but I don't have any such desire. I had rather remain true to reason, and admit energy costs are higher, just as Obama told us they would "necessarily" be. You see, socialist liberals don't care if gas goes to $10 a gallon, it just means fewer "rich people" driving those dreaded SUVs and Hummers. But now, that's just when he is talking to liberals about energy policy, we don't know if that's actually Obama's final position.

Thats what I thought..


Do you have a prediction for who will win this presidental race?
 
I'm wondering why zappa and jarod are beaming about the price of gas compared to the rest of the economy. Do they not see why this is being done?
