Fox played quotes from liberal dems when Bush was in office and gas prices were about a dollar below where they are today.
It was all how horrible it is and a tax on american people, that Bush needs to take action to lower gas prices ... and Obama stated if he was in office he would immediately release from the strategic reserves to lower the price of oil and bring charges to the oil companies that are over charging.
Guess what ... Obama did commission and investigation of oil companies for price fixing , but .... nothing was found. It seems we just need to drill more domestically and stop buying so much foreign oil.
So now what is the media saying and Obama ... excuses, demand is up, the economy can handle higher oil prices. But nothing about another failed policy of Obama focusing on failed solar ventures, subsidizing electric car manufactures (even though oil powers a high percent of power plants), failure to put forth an energy policy using more domestic natural gas, drill bans, failure to approve pipeline, etc, etc.
My how the tune changes ... just like the 5% unemployment rate under Bush ... that was horrible, it was all Mcjobs and WalMart jobs. Now the real unemployment rate is still over 15% (yes it was disclosed that Obama order than anyone that is no longer collecting unemployment for 4 weeks or more is to be dropped from the unemployment rate calculation). You don't want a "real" rate like that being talked about want the blamer in cheif is trying to tell the american people how good things are getting.
