Gas prices are going to spike. Obama will need to campaign, framing the cost increase as the result of Wall Street speculators.


In addition, whoever wins the GOP nomination will change their tune to be more in line with the independents, and thus their ratings will go up. The far right will be upset for a bit, but they'll forget about it by November.


This election will actually be about who can get more of their own side out to vote. That might mean more positive ads then we've seen in the past.

The Republican appeal to whack jobs who believe in ridiculous crap is what got them into this.

Just look at who their biggest fans are on ACF, our little society is a microcosm of the USA voting public, if you look at it that way it all falls into place.

Gas price spikes are a easy win for Obama, just needs to point to the republican lust for subsidizing the industry.

Yes. The media is united in attacking the Republican Party. It's the "new" political strategy. Use the media (social and otherwise) to make your opponent "stupid" in the eyes of the American people.

People are sheep, and stupid enough to fall for this. Anyone who thinks Obama is good for this country, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, is mentally ill.
I really don't understand how so many people can be so stupid.

He's inexperienced, making huge mistakes, and digging a deeper and deeper financial hole from which we are unlikely to recover.



Wow... 2/10.

I wouldve given you zero but you actually believe what you just typed.

He'll just open up the strategic reserves if gas spikes too much.

I am betting by the end of his second term, we will have passed a new amendment to allow presidents to serve 3 or more terms because of his many successes.

By all means, dispute any of it.


Are gas prices not rising?

Is there not a 3.8% sales tax on homes going into effect in 2013 snuck into the Health Care bill, while the housing market is still attempting to recover?

Are grocery prices not rising?

Is government not larger than it's ever been?

Is the deficit not wildly out of control?


What exactly is incorrect about anything I've said?


This kind of unbridled stupidity from the "Average voter" is why this country is in a tailspin to an economic disaster.


We shouldn't allow you morons to vote. Seriously.

he will use it to push his message first. It will read something like this


"Oil companies are paying next to nothing in taxes. They are getting subsidized by the US Tax Payers. They are reaping record profits for companies. The republicans wont let me pass legislation to make them pay their fair share, and they want you the tax payer to continue to subsidize them."


Its of course not as simple as that but thats pretty much the message that will be delievered and eaten up. Then out of the kindness of his Overlord heart to help the little guy, the truckers, farmers, he will tap into the reserves.

Gas prices are rising, and will continue to rise. The reasons for this are somewhat complex.

There is not a 3.8% sales tax on homes going into effect in 2013. Please reread your source.

Global warming cutting production combined with China and India's rising middle class creating a higher demand for food is the cause of this. Obama isn't the cause.

The government is larger than it has ever been.

The deficit is not wildly out of control. The solutions will not be liked by some, but they are obvious.
