Gas Is So Cheap Since Obama Was Elected

<snork>

Before his first 100 days are over, it'll be free! Yesssssssssss. Free gas!

That is so awesome.

It's gone down from $1.28/litre to $0.83/litre here.

It's amazing how the power and glory of Obama is already making the world a better place to live. I may grow to like him after all.

I'm providing free gas right now.

I only had to sell half my food stamp allocation to fill the gas tank on my porsche this week.

Yay! I can quit crack and go back to huffing! Yay!

I knew it -- a limousine liberal conspiracy between Barrack Hussein Obama, the Saudis, and DysleKKKsia. Talk about a smoking gun!

My welfare check was hand delivered by Johnny Depp.

Thanks Barack Obama!

Down near Elkton Md, I hear that theyre payin YOU to get their gas.
THANK YOU ALMIGHTY OBAMA.

Me too, Drew. Bi-Polar has that effect on me from time to time. Caused by uncontrollable guffaws.

sure , gas prices have dropped in canada too - and we even have a conservative government . since the stuff just bubbles up from the ground in alberta , we just need a bucket to scoop it up .

couple of comments :
- about a month ago there were some comments on CNBC about lowering gas prices . one of the old foxes said : "i think gas prices might fall to about a dollar a gallon again , but i'm afraid by that time you won't have a dollar left ! " . considering how unemployment is rising in both canada and the U.S. that scenario wouldn't surprise me .
while there is talk of helping the automobile industry , i can't see where the money would come from - and who is going to buy all the cars - the car lots are already overflowing with cars .
- commentators on the oil and exploration business claim that exploration has pretty well stopped and the real shock of SKYROCKETING gas prices will take all of us by surprise . that is , unless the economy tanks completely and we all start walking - where are we going to walk to ?

Interesting comment, HB. We get monthly reports re unsold houses on the market. And, today, on NPR, was a story about a scientist who used satellite photos and population estimates to "determine" (by her own admission a very spongy number) that there are 61 trees on earth per human.
I wonder how many unsold cars, new and used, there are on dealers' lots and stored all over Detroit.
I did start a thread, the name of which I have forgotten, where a few, a very few, of us talk about economics, personal finance and stuff. Stop by.

Food Is So Expensive Since Obama Was Elected...

not for us. Since gas went down after the election all food prices have halved. Praise Obama.

Wall Street dropping like a turd and food prices have halved?

Something is wrong with your math.

People on Wall Street are losing their shirts so they have decided to offer their socks too?

Praise be to 'bama

KFC stock prices just went up 2 points.

Gas is now at 1.87 a gallon

And we black women can now cut off you white folk while driving

Praise 'Bama

Gas price - 1.87 a gallon
Paying illegal neighbor to vote - 10.00
Scared white people - priceless

Well, that's about the most racist thing I've read all day.

That and the fact the chicken sandwich at Wendy's went up a $1.

rjb :

we live in a small city in eastern ontario (about 120,000 - perhaps 150,000 including towns and villages surrounding the city ) .
the city has quite a stable population : large university , government jobs (canada's penitentiary headquarters - always plenty of customers) , large military installation .

house prices never went through the roof here as in larger cities , but despite the influx of many retirees , we have noticed that houses simply don't turn over unless the price is right .
house prices are easing off - 1,200 sqft. bungalow with full basement and city services will bring about $210,00 to $225,000 - less outside city limits .

car dealers line our main drag from east to west . just received a letter from chrysler dealership ; since i worked for a local insurance company , they'll give me another $ 5-10 k off . sorry i can't oblige since we bought a car this summer - nine year old olds intrigue was starting to act up .
