Bush High Gas Prices Bad, Obama High Gas Prices Good?

Posted By Xerraire On Thursday, October 18th 2012 In News Items | Tags: bush, gas, hypocrisy, obama, prices | 
Bush High Gas Prices Bad, Obama High Gas Prices Good? The gas price hypocrisy, right? n 2006 the Democrats and the media screamed bloody murder over the high price of gas. They screamed from their podiums this proved that Bush and Cheney were oil men running the country and running us all broke. They were going to change all that. When Barack Obama was inaugurated, the average gas price was $1.87 a gallon. Now that the price has more than doubled, what are the Democrats and the administration saying now? If you ... Read More

Maryland Government Watchdogs Needed

Posted By Xerraire On Wednesday, January 11th 2012 In News Items | Tags: black jack, democrat, gambling, gas, government, job growth, martin o' malley, maryland, tables, tax increases | 
Maryland Government Watchdogs Needed In good times and in hard economical times, we as citizens should always be watchdogs of government. In good times we need to be aware that the good times stay that way, and in bad times, looking how to  improve our situation. This is not a lot of fun to sift through the crap that government can dish out, but it's necessary. Here in Maryland, we are no exception. We need to be aware. I couldn't help but be amazed now ... Read More

Gas Price Hypocrisy

Posted By Xerraire On Saturday, May 7th 2011 In News Items | Tags: don smith show, gas, hypocrisy, price, video, you tube | 
Gas Price Hypocrisy High gas prices under Bush - BAD. High prices under Obama - A Blessing in disguise. Or so they say. When Obama was elected, gas prices were $1.87. Remember those days? I do. It was almost actually FUN to fill up the car and go on a day trip. Watch the video to see how the dems react to high gas prices under Bush, and their totally different reaction under Obama. Their hypocrisy on this issue knows no bounds. And you know something else? If Bush had ... Read More

Who is Gouging Who

Posted By Xerraire On Friday, May 6th 2011 In News Items | Tags: gas, government, prices, taxes | 
Who is Gouging Who Who makes more profit out of a gallon of gas? The oil companies or the government? The average profit, using EXXON as an example, per gallon looks like this: Consider this too, the government makes more than the oil companies and they don't even do the work. They don't take the risks involved, they just take from the people. Also consider, the states are supposed to use some of this money to improve road conditions. Have you seen the conditions of the ... Read More

Pump Prices Have Doubled Under Obama Remember Obama's Energy Secretary Steven Chu?? He wants gas prices at European levels or higher: Before he was appointed energy secretary, Chu expressed a fondness for high European gas prices as a means of reducing consumption of fossil fuels. In September 2008, he told the Wall Street Journal: “Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.” Gas prices in Europe then averaged ... Read More

Remember When Democrats Complained The Price of Gas Was Too High?

Posted By Xerraire On Saturday, March 5th 2011 In News Items | Tags: bush, democrats, gas, obama, pelosi, prices, too high | 
Remember When Democrats Complained The Price of Gas Was Too High? You remember Pelosi when she had some strong words against Bush about the price of gas? With skyrocketing gas prices, it is clear that the American people can no longer afford the Republican Rubber Stamp Congress and its failure to stand up to Republican big oil and gas company cronies. Americans this week are paying $2.91 a gallon on average for regular gasoline – 33 cents higher than last month, and double the price than when ... Read More

Retro Retro is fun. I like looking back to easier times; good times spent with family and remembering songs and the way things looked back then.... What a pleasant experience it has been to work for a new client, Paul & Kathy Hittle of Severn Gas Pumps. Going to their house and workstation was like time travel. They restore old gas pumps, even as old as the 1900's, all the way up to the 1960's. They also have a collection of old ... Read More

Free Republic’s Take on Cap and Trade

Free Republic’s Take on Cap and Trade Speaker Pelosi’s national energy tax is going to raise electricity prices, increase gasoline prices, and ship American jobs overseas to countries like China and India.  This, we know. It would be a bureaucratic nightmare overseen by a confusing web of government agencies that would take and redistribute trillions of dollars from family budgets and workers payrolls.  This, we also know.  Even Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson (D-MN) admitted in the Washington Post this morning that: “The truth is, nobody knows for sure how this is ... Read More

Higher Gas Prices, Again.

Higher Gas Prices, Again. I have always been on the side that government should stay out of business. They can't run themselves, why on earth would we trust them to run a business. Obama buys up the car industry, and according to Ralph Nader, not necessary: The proximate cause of the bankruptcy was supposed to be the inability of GM and the government's auto task force to reach an accommodation with GM's bondholders. But late last week, the bondholder problem was moving toward rapid resolution, and ... Read More

Pay More for a Car Here's something to look forward to. In the name of the environment, or likely more in the name of lining someone's pockets with money, we get to pay more for cars in the future. "The government is now designing our cars. It's out of the hands of vehicle manufacturers," said auto industry consultant Larry Rinek. Isn't that scary, right there? Obama has ordered the struggling auto industry to make more fuel-efficient cars under tough new national standards to cut emissions and increase gas ... Read More

Special ID to Buy Gas in 2010?

Special ID to Buy Gas in 2010? Having been hit by an uninsured motorist, I can understand how a measure like the one slated for Hawaii, might help cut that down, but there is something unsettling about a special card to buy gas. In a move completely ignored by the corporate media, the state of Hawaii has introduced resolutions in the Senate and House to initiate a study by the Insurance Commissioner to determine how best to deny gasoline purchases to uninsured motorists. In order to do this, the ... Read More

Pelosi Pork And Big Oil While we consider big Oil and the price of gas (petrol)... Oh by the way, did you know that big oil companies DON'T control the majority of the oil, about 70 - 90% is owned by, guess what. GOVERNMENTS, depending how you count it. Now it all starts to make sense: Yet Big Oil is pretty small next to the industry's true giants: the national oil companies (NOCs) owned or controlled by the governments of oil-rich countries, which manage over 90% of the world's ... Read More

No Recess For Some

No Recess For Some A few days ago, I blogged how in spite of the crisis facing our nation, congress decided to take an early holiday. Since Democrat Nancy Pelosi controls the cameras, we can't see on C-Span how some House Republicans stayed behind to carry on with this issue, debating how best to handle it. "In an urgent memo sent to GOP Members and staff Saturday (“A Call to Action on American Energy”), Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO) hailed Friday’s ... Read More

In a press release dated April 24, 2006, Pelosi said, “Democrats have a commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices by cracking down on price gouging, rolling back the billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies, tax breaks and royalty relief given to big oil and gas companies, and increasing production of alternative fuels.” Not only has she not kept this promise, The ... Read More

Drill! "You should be happy your gas is $4.00 a gallon, some of Europe pays twice that." It is often said and yet there is an error in this logic. Much of Europe has an amazing connection of transport that makes cars unnecessary. Many can roam about comfortably and never own a car. In many cases, a car is pure luxury. This is not so where I live, and without the convenience of a metro or a bus route, I don't have ... Read More

Rising Gas Prices, Rising Blood Pressure

Rising Gas Prices, Rising Blood Pressure My mom went to her doctor the other day, and for the most part the doctor was pleased with her test results. He praised her for lowering her cholesteral, but had to mention, "Your blood pressure is a bit high." She responded, "Well before I came here I had to buy gas today and drive to your office." They shared a laugh, and he didn't chastise her in understanding. Why am I harping on this subject of the price of gas? Because we all ... Read More

It’s Our Oil and We’ll Pump if We Want To  This picture shows President Bush with King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, asking for higher oil output, and the King refused. He is allowed to say no. It's their oil, and they can pump it if they want to. I have no problem with that. This is just another in a list of mistakes Bush makes in my opinion. Bush should be on the television talking to the American people about this problem. If Bush wants to talk to someone, he ... Read More

17 Billion Dollars in Profits I was behind a lady in a line of cars at BJ's the other day, we were at the gas pump. I looked at her as she was filling her car, and if I wasn't mistaken, she looked close to crying. Watching the numbers roll around and accumulate was obviously adding to her stress level.

What Oil Buys

What Oil Buys   Having oil just seems to allow the world to look away and defend radicals to blow us up, each other up, and treat women (retarded and not retarded) like subhumans, that's what I have concluded. Even though there is a promise of a 50 cent drop in price per gallon come this spring, no one should look away at such headlines.   In Today's Times Online: A 37-year-old American businesswoman and married mother of three is seeking justice after she was thrown in jail by ... Read More
