Have you noticed?

That when gas prices are high, Obama is responsible. But when gas prices are lower, someone else is responsible.

Also, not only do they act like 9/11 never happened under their watch, but if it had happened under a Democratic President, we would never have heard the end of it. "Too incompetent to defend this country!", they would shriek. Democrats are too weak to be Commander in Chief!

And if George W Bush or a Republican had captured or killed Osama Bin Laden, they would be ready to put him on Mount Rushmore. Because FOX News would tell them how he was so deserving. And they would eat it up.

They know it's true.

edit: to s/b too

I could have sworn I had already heard Republicans state that Democrats were too weak on defense. Wasn't that a meme on Fox News for quite a while? (not that Fox has any kind of credibility.)

gas is at its lowest since the last three months of 2008 - what happened to all those ReTHUG predictions of six and seven dollar a gallon gas by summer?

Condi Rice was chatting more BS about Obama this morning - this from one of those who ignored the warnings about an attack on America.

Fugg them all.

a Democrat would have drawn impeachment hearings... Iran Contra should have been as big as Watergate, instead Ollie North became a celebrity..

Republicans were claiming Bush inherited 9/11 as if it happened just before he took office.

......if the timeline isn't good,...make it good....

She was telling the whole family at dinner that we better not buy a flag because the government might come spy on us. I said "Where did you hear this?" And she replied "The News" and I said "Fox News is not considered news, nanny."

bullshit they've been telling her. Just like the other day she told me that Mitt Romney was going to be outspent by Obama big time.

I have gotten gas prices down?"

And, then say, "Like I have said before, a Presidenet has no control over whether they go up or down."
