Scummy rethug commercial: gas prices

[InvisibleTouch]

Caught a commercial earlier today that was overtly blaming Obama for the high gas prices. Basically asked "Who's responsible?" and then showed a picture of Barack. It pissed me off massively, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Republicans use fear tactics to work the public into a panic, and panicked people don't think straight, they're easy to direct and control. And people are panicked and distraught about the gas prices. Leave it to the damn rethugs to take advantage of that. I honestly believe Obama is going to win in November, there's almost no way he can't win - and I say almost, because there are still those fear tactics brewing, that could stampede the masses into voting against their own interests yet again.

What I'd like to see, is for the Obama campaign to turn that slimey commercial around, and turn it into the truth. "Who's responsible for the high gas prices??" The Bush Administration and our hardworking Republican Congresspeople (including, for instance, one John McCain) who keep scuttling alternative energy development, keep subsidizing and protecting their Big Oil buddies, keep voting down a mandatory increase in gas mileage for new cars when the technology exists, but would inconvenience the polluting robber-barons of big industry. Let's tell it like it is! That's the only way to combat lies and counter the fears that are being stirred.
