Gas Prices Could Drop 50 Cents By June, Experts Say

The President can't affect global oil prices? How about when his EPA head threatens to take down oil companies before they do anything wrong to set a good example? Increase demand for oil by limiting where coal can be used? Have your cabinet bureaus limit fracking reducing the supplies of new petrol and natural gas?

Welcome to the liberal socialist narrative in the media....

Duelin’ headlines:

Obama > NYT March 2011 ($3.57 a gallon): US better prepared for rising gas costs
Bush > NYT August 2005 ($2.55 a gallon): Economy shows signs of strain from oil prices


Another example can be found in this CNN piece from last year:

Washington (CNN) – President Barack Obama confronted two political realities this week:
– Rising gas prices are bad for a politician’s poll numbers
– There is almost nothing a politician can do about it, at least in the short run.

Compare that to this CNN article from mid-2008 entitled “President, Congress offer no immediate help on gas prices”:

“A lot of Americans are concerned about our economy,” Bush said. “I can understand why. Gasoline prices are high, energy prices are high. I do remind them that we have put a stimulus package forward that is expected to help boost the economy. And of course, we’ll be monitoring the situation.”
Americans are looking for more action, though, than monitoring the situation.


Where's Nancy today?

I wouldn't worry about it none. Obuma will throw out another stimulus package closer to the election to boost the economy. It has worked so far hasn't it?

OT

Speaking of obvious I see you have the same style as poster JSG. You both remind me of a fellow I have drunk beer with. Not that I care, this is just a message board, just saying that if I am right you are not doing a good job of changing skins.

You should drink less beer then and quit trying to figure out who everyone is. I am actually a dog.

LOL. I am not trying it jumped out at me and bit me in the ass.

Just so you know, "Thank you Captain Obvious" has been said for decades. So to say my "style" resembled someone elses because I said it is pretty dumb. You must get bit in the ass a lot.

About
Captain Obvious is a pejorative nickname given to a person who insists on stating things that are patently clear.

Early Appearances
The widespread use of “Captain Obvious” among English speakers predates the widespread adoption of the Internet.
One early appearance of the phrase is found in a 1998 Study guide by David Groth. A+: Core Module Study Guide
Excerpt from page 189.

The larger of the two specifications is known as Wide SCSI-2 because it’s wider (Captain Obvious rides again).
Source: Wiktionary
The same year, there was another Captain Obvious mentioned on alt.religion.kibology on Usenet. (Link)
In December of 2006, RealClearPolitics writer Robert Tracinsky wrote The Return of Captain Obvious in which he recalls seeing a comedy troupe that performed a skit of the same name during his days at the University of Chicago some time between 1987 and 1991.
Film
The phrase is spoken in the 2000 film Dude, Where’s My Car.
Excerpt (courtesy TVtropes.org):

Mr. Pizzacoli: They said “the Photon Accelerator Annihilation Beam,” you fool!
Chester: Hurry, activate it, dude!
[a small panel on the Transfunctioner reads “Photon Accelerator Annihilation Beam”]
Chester: I think that’s it, dude.
Jesse: Thank you, Captain Obvious!
Online
Because the term has been a common part of spoken slang for many decades, the term has also been used online in the form of text and in image macros.
Uncyclopedia and Urban Dictionary are known of comparing this fictious superhero to real-life figure John Madden, known of stating obvious and unnecessary information.

Socialist? Have you ever looked that word up? Please do prior to using it incorrectly again. It makes you look stupid.

Only if you're at Foothills at the same time I am. But please stop stalking me. I don't know if you do that with every new poster or just the ones you perceive to be someone else. In either case. Please stop.
