Gas Is So Cheap Since Obama Was Elected

Oh for god's sake rex, grow up! No one is being racist. If you knew anything about either Shewolf or myself, you'd know that we make fun of stereotypes, we don't believe them.

jeeze.

Relax. No one is saying anything to be spiteful and the comments themselves aren't funny...it's the intent to mock those who actually believe that ****.

I appreciate your help here…

I have wanted to back off the “**** you” comment I made (especially directed toward a woman). I would still like to see the tone change. I was insulted...

Shewolf seems to have no ideal of the hatred masked in the words she chose to perpetuate. I am not SCARED to point that out openly and confront them.

I have been thrown many hateful words in my life, believe me, and I have ALWAYS stood up against them as I try to practice and defend words of edification

I have never had a problem till now and if the “sprightly but devious” jokes about race and sex continue I will still have a problem with it. I am considered gay, so, I am usually the first to smell a fart in a car, I just didn’t think I would be the first to suggest someone opening a window...

No offence to people in general but I am trying to say, this “casual racism” is ethically WRONG no matter how harmless it seems.

I am over my rant now… you can walk on my feet but not on my face. It is not even really right to make jokes about PETA although they act like a bunch of whacky loons, they generally have a relatively ethical ideal.

Though I have burned my onion many times here on a2k, look back in my posts, I have never intentionally made one single racial slur. I know my heart better than you.

The closest I have ever come to it was…

Once I posted the four words in an Obama thread, eeenie meenie minie moe.

I felt guilty about it for days… I felt I had said something that was not openly racist but could be perceived as deviously racist. Well I am and was sorry… Now that I have that off my chest…

You can hate me because my standards in caring for people are higher than your own, but…

I am a songwriter, I make sure my “songs” have class and are seasoned with grace… I believe that is the only way they will endure the sands of time.

If you read my songs you will know I attempt to cleverly use “love” as “the hook”…

I hold my discourse writing here on a2k up to the very same level of scrutiny and if that makes me a martyr in people’s eyes then, AMEN…

I prefer to think I live rather than die for salvation.

Let hope the gas prices stay low, the food prices low, the earth is healed, the melting pot of the world stays intact and we all live as examples of the most diversified culture in the world being the most unified, as one loving family of God.

Peace with God

not really it started before he was elected

Its not because of Obama...God you people are ignorant. The economy sucks therefore the demand for gas is less....therefore the prices go down. Wait till January when it goes back up...will see if you are still praising him. If you havent realized the price for gas goes down after every election. Go read a book or something before you make a comment like that.

And you're such a genius you don't understand sarcasm? It sure must be awesome being you!

I'm going to Google "book" now and see what exactly you're talking about.

Sorry, I hit the wrong button. Note the tags of this thread, by the way.

Nonetheless, I did google in Historical Crude Oil Prices. The table that comes up covers 1946 through 2007, I think in actual dollars and in inflation adjusted dollars. Please feel free to post that table, Tony, and make your argument. I don't know how to do linking, but I have done the legwork for you.
You are welcome if you want to thank me.

While we were arguing here, the price of gas went down another 25 cents. Thank you Mr Obama.

Piece in our time

I Googled book too and wow, like there are sure a lot of em. Just like numbers.

... at the same time the price of oil went up about 9 % !



they should have let citibank go down and the oilprice might have stayed down too - can't anyone get anything right anymore ?

We actually need oil to be around 70$ a bbl to maintain prices and stability.

what are your predictions on the immediate rise at the pump that doubtless took place while I slept? Should I expect it to be back to 2.00 a galon when I go out to fill up this am?

Gas needs to cost $7/gallon or more so I can justify pork barrel electric car spending in my home district. Isn't that right Nancy?

you people must be joking!
if Obama has anything too do with the drop in gas prices maybe we should credit him for starting the global recession.

They're deadly serious, Mike. Odd though, that falling and rising gas prices cause the same recession, isn't it?

I don't care who is responsible, I am just glad gas went down. In July I paid
$ 4.65/gallon and now it's $ 1.59/gallon (premium). I am happy!
