YES HE CAN!!!
Obama: "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK"
I wonder how much Obama's car weighs and what kind of mileage it gets?
I looked it up...The vehicle fuel consumption is about 8 miles per US gallon.
kinda like everything else with this president isn't it?...does it reflect badly on his character Spence?
I'd post some pics of him eating but it's not pretty and he likes to keep the temps in the rooms that he is occupying Hawaii warm

Some Math, gas was 9% LOWER (adjusted for inflation) when Bush
left office than when he started.
When Obama took office gas was $1.83/ gal., and now we are headed
for $5 maybe $6. What a difference 3yrs makes.

Like I said, some Math, be my guest if you choose.
I think you divide the lower # by the higher one.

Remember where prices were about August 2008? Probably best if we ignore them... |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

I don't remember paying $0.99 since I had my first car (during the Clinton years).... certainly don't remember that price in 2006... |

It's funny, when gas went up under Bush he said he can't do anything about it. Yet now people want to blame Obama...even though he can't do much about it either.

OK Spence, I did the math for you.
Obama's first 3+years in office gas has gone up 200%.
Gas was down-9% when Bush left the office.
When prices rose after Bush was elected he was blamed because it was said he
and Cheney were oilmen and profiting from it.
If so why would they want to bring down the price of oil 9% from the time
elected to the end of their terms? |

The point Jeffy was making, was that, yes, Bush was blamed, but all his defenders were saying it was beyond his control. Now the same defenders (or at least their idealogs) are blaming Obama.... |

campaining, not mispelled , in an SUV. |
