Not to mention that it's completely impossible. Just goes to show how disconnected from reality the woman is. Unless she means $2.99/gal. |

According to the GasBuddy gasoline price tracking web site, the price of a gallon of regular gas was around $1.79 when Mr. Obama took office. |

You should take a macro economics class or two. I wouldn't expect you to understand why $2/gal gas is virtually impossible in the short-term, but someone running for president should have a clue. |

Ya mean like the example our President just set by using 41 vechicles including SUVs , big cars and a new million + dollar bus he used on his trip last week?
Wonder if he'll use the taxpayers 1 + million $$ bus for his 2012
campaign? Something like FDR's private train car as they drove across
the nation with him waving from the back of the train?. |

I'd mention the timeline of the massive recession but you guys would accuse me of that "context" thing again.
Perhaps Bachmann is actually promising another big recession?

For someone who doesn't take me seriously you sure spend a lot of time plotting your cut and paste.

Bush inherited an economy slipping into a recession as the tech bubble burst, but even with 9/11 nothing like the credit bubble in 2008.
The thing is, people believe the President has way more influence over this stuff than they really do. The major economic trends are driven by larger factors than US policy, we may influence, but don't dictate.
