Have you not turned on your tv or drove down the street in 8 years? You think Obama caused all the stuff thats happening? NO!. he was handed it. We went to war with IRAQ over weapons of mass destruction that didnt exist. Gas was 5$ a gallon. And everything thats happening now or recently is evolved from most of this.

Kept are country safe......what a load of sh.. from a biased republican.

Wildcat,President Bush had nothing to do with the price of gas. Supply and demand plays a big part in the cost of gas. Of course, the tax on gas does not help. The first thing the democrats did when they took control of congress in 2006 was to raise the import tax on oil and then raise the tax on gasoline at the pump. Environmental regulations and opposition to more oil refineries in the States by the tree-huggers and their opposition to oil exploration in the Gulf and Alaska certainly did and do not help with lowering gas prices. Sarah Palin said it best, "Drill baby, Drill !" ( Go Palin 2012 ).



The decision to authorise the use of U.S. Armed Forces against Iraq had the support of the Democrat party leadership. 29 Democrat Senators, to include Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Joe Biden, and John Kerry, voted to use military might against Saddam Hussein. President B. Hussein Obama was in the Illinois State Senate at the time and in 2004 said," I am not privvy to Senate Intelligence Reports. What would I have done ? I don't know." ( wimp !)



Wildcat, it is a known fact that as Americans become older they become more conservative. This probably has something to do with working hard to support a family, educating their children, and in their quest to fulfill the American Dream of becoming successful and owning their own home. Older Americans have worked hard and paid their taxes for years just to see liberal democrats squander their taxes on social programs that have created generations of 'free-loading' Americans who do not and will not work, yet, it is the liberals' belief that everyone should be the same - thus socialism. The working American sees 18 - 25% of his income going to illegal immigrants, SSI, and free-loaders and NOW Government Health Care. God, will it never end. As Americans see more and more taxes taken from their hard-earned paycheck by people who think they know how to spend it better. Spending it better means the redistribution of the money to lazy, unmotivated people who think it is their right to have what you have without earning it. Young ideologs who are responsible only for themselves and spend money on themselves and self-gratifying toys ( such as muscle cars or trucks, Blackberries, etc.) eventually grow up and see the light.


I prefer to think of myself as a Conservative Patriot armed with facts. :biggrin:
