There is a new photo circulating on Facebook today. One of a not someone posted on a gas pump (apparently feeling they were clever). This note basically says that the high price of gas is due to President Obama. That gas started going up when he became President.
Let's first explore just how it is wrong at the face of it. A basic Google search will lead you to numerous sites that show the progression of gas and the increased prices. So we find that it can easily be seen in 2004 when outcry's over the subject really started to come to fruition. I found a posting for the gas free day in that year. BTW, that will never work. See, we use gas in many forms, so one day of people not pumping is not going to stop the price from increasing. Obama was not President in 2004.
Now let's get to the blaming of Obama. It seems that EVERYTHING that goes wrong or irritates someone is because of Obama. It reminds me of when I was in high school and everything that happened, every illness or oddity was because of El Nino. (You remember that too don't you?) Really people, when are you going to stop? Being President does not mean you get to speak and it's done. Have we not learned that through all the fighting, bickering, etc in Congress?
In fact, the issue with gas is the fault of the entire government. No one has the balls to stand up against the oil companies. Why? Simple. Elections are not won by votes but by money. If you think I am just being paranoid then you really are naive. Is it really even a case of supply and demand? I don't think so. Not when year after year these oil companies are turning the highest profits ever.
Now go forth and try to put a cap on the stupid. Though watchers of FoxNews will still tell you you are wrong, that you have been brain washed, etc. They are a special breed aren't they?
