since oil dropped to a 5yr low yesterday ($65/barrel).
my gas station now has gas for under $2.50/gal.
so if the Repubs blamed Obama all these years for high oil prices, then I guess they'll praise him for getting oil to a 5yr low.
cant wait for them to call that press conference...
Let me help you two out, the thread is about oil prices, the claim was people on the left complained about bush's affect on oil prices, I asked who are these people.
Try again.

Correct. Hey libs, you do realize don't you, that gas prices are still higher now than under the evil boooooosh.

I'd bet that there isn't a single level-headed lefty on these forums who claimed it was Bush's fault. The only ones who ever blamed Bush, or blamed Obama were people with little understanding of the market, and disingenuous people who merely want to create extra divisiveness.It's funny, the left had no problem blaming Bush but when gas went up under Obama it was all due to speculation.
no. US companies are selling the oil they get from US soil to countries abroad.
even factoring shipping that oil on tankers, they get more profit.
so no, drilling on US soil does NOT help the people living in the US
Like many on the left who blamed Bush for everything including rainy days and Mondays.
Did you really forget about all the threads blaming everything on Bush?

Incidentally, do you have any links to back up your statement? I personally can't recall anyone on these forums blaming Bush when the price was high.
My recollection is a bit different. It's become a joke about how Fox will blame Obama for things, but never was a joke about how MSNBC or CNN or whoever will blame Bush for things, because for the most part, Bush wasn't blamed for things that he had no control over. Bush was blamed for a war we entered that we never should have entered, and for a few other things that were directly related to his actions. He was frequently mocked for idiotic things he said, and for his inability to pronounce words that the 1st world's leader ought to be able to pronounce. "Nucular."
So again, with the, "it's only fair we do this to Obama, because the other side did this to Bush." [Citation]?
My recollection is a bit different, remembering many of our left leaning friends would follow Obama's lead in blaming Bush for seemingly everything. <shrug>

So you did forget.
Or is too young to have paid attention back when Bush was in office.
Strictly speaking, exporting oil from the US is currently banned. Gas is not, but oil is.
I always found it interesting how quickly you guys decided that Bush couldn't be blamed anymore.
Two ruinous wars and a worldwide financial catastrophe, centered in the US, happened under Bush's watch. That leads to a lot of things to blame him for. You shouldn't be afraid to admit that conservatives really screwed things up. That's the best way to ensure things improve in the future.
Obama screwed things up by not advocating for enough stimulus, he had a bad response to Syria, and his approach to civil liberties has been atrocious. See? That's not too hard!
We live in a global economy.You haven't heard? Instead of praising Obama they are saying it's the mark of a worsening economy
Do you think one day, righties will get tired of being lied to?

You'll notice that your video consists of democrats criticizing bush's energy policy and his unwillingness to invest in alternative fuel. I didn't hear a single person say bush was to blame for high gas prices except one reference about how "some people are saying it's bush's fault", with zero examples of these people. In fact, in your clip I didn't even hear someone say bush's energy policies were causing higher gas prices. What I did hear was news anchors stating facts about the price of gas in relation to the start and beginning of bush's term. If you think that means they are blaming bush, well that's your own insecurities kicking in
True and you could probably argue that US companies not being allowed to export have kept prices lower than they otherwise would be.

My bad, I totally forgot about the rights boogeyman, those evil lefties.
Do you guys ever get tired of smelling your own shit?
