So you're saying LBD focuses on ignoring reality and just wants unicorns, rainbows, and lilies, despite the reality of nuclear disaster?

Thanks for clarifying the LBD delusion and ignorance of reality.

We're probably talking about a photograph from the fifties of a hydrogen bomb test. so far there have been no real disasters, so what I'm talking about is that liberals don't have a brain defect that ruins their day every time they see a frightening image, but don't get too relaxed, however, because Obama is after your guns. Liberals are more resistant to being led around like bleating sheep. Conservatives buy more guns than liberals because they are an easy mark

You play the unicorn card, by the way, because you have masculinity issues. You should try to be more self confident. It's completely different than being a raging imbecile. Your tough guy act just makes me giggle. I can giggle, of course, because I'm in touch with my feminine side. Love you.

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

I love how we actually got $6 gas under bush. lol.

Snopes says you're wrong.

http://www.snopes.com/gas-cheaper-president-obama/

WHAT'S TRUE: President Bush’s family has strong ties to the oil and gas industry whereas President Obama has relatively none; average national gasoline prices did spike to over $4.00 per gallon at one point during the Bush administration.

WHAT'S FALSE: Retail gasoline prices were actually lower during most of the Bush administration than they have been under President Obama; although presidents can set domestic and foreign policy that can have a long-term effect on crude oil prices (such as President Obama’s encouragement of the American shale oil industry), America’s dependence on foreign oil means that domestic gasoline prices are more affected by the machinations of Saudi Arabia and OPEC than they are on what an individual president does.

Bullshit. It was driven by speculation.



That was the story of everything during the GWB era.
Yes, speculation that prices would keep going up. Remember all of the peak oil discussions and the thought that the last marginal barrel couldn't be pumped to keep up with the last marginal demand?

He likes speculation. Thats his industry.
I have probably overseen the investment of close to 20bn, just at my current job. Add another 10bn or so to prior jobs. The biggest loss I have ever had was 300k, and that was my predecessors investment. Had we held that position we would have realized an 84% loss on principal , not 2%. That doesn't count the 8% annual returns we got for 2 years while I monitored it.

I don't speculate.

If President Bush were manipulating gasoline prices to enrich his family's coffers, he wasn't doing a very good job of it, since gasoline prices exceeded $2.00 per gallon for less than six months out of his eight year administration.

what? they were over $2.00 a gallon from march 7 of 2005 to november 17, 2008. maybe that should have been a 4?

They laughed at and ridiculed all the chicken littles in 2006-2007 also.

Not to mention all the chicken littles who correctly predicted all of the (nonexistent) crashes since then:

2011 - Sell your stocks!
http://www.ibtimes.com/stock-market-crash-2011-get-out-around-july-283571
2012: Warning of a 90% correction!
http://www.newsmax.com/Finance/MKTNews/billionaires-dump-economist-stocks/2012/08/29/id/450265/
2013 - Peak market:
http://www.businessinsider.com/signs-are-building-up-that-this-is-the-market-peak-2013-8
2013-2014 - Inevitable crash!
http://www.triwealth.com/the-inevitable-stock-market-crash-of-2013/
2014-2015: DOW to repeat 07-08 crash!
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/dow-will-repeat-2007-2008-peak-crash-cycle-2012-09-24

You can't go a week without someone claiming the stock market is going to crash

And not a single mention of how lower energy prices also benefit consumers

People's focus tends to get drawn to the downside of lower oil prices on oil related jobs and company outlook. Some how lower energy prices being a net gain for the economy as a whole seems to get lost
