Certainly hope so! The last time the GOP tied to stop that, they got our credit rating downgraded. (Nice goin', Republicans!)

That's it Ryberg. The administration did not agree with anything. It was all the GOP. You need to move to a lower elevation

That's about equal to what we are paying.

Well not that that's what I said, of course, but you exaggerating and implying that I said something I didn't has come to be par for the course in about all your replies to me, these days.

All that said, if you are not under the impression that efforts to prevent raising the debt ceiling were a Republican thing, then you may need to check your own oxygen intake levels. Or just brush up on general trends in US politics, recently.

Hint: You yourself are often extremely worried about any debt increases. What party do you generally favor, again?

Ah, plus throw on the completely unfounded and non-rational aforementioned claim, just for kicks.

The same can be said of Obama's "we have 2% of the world's oil"

You want to quote a source that leads off by saying how public support especially for Republicans in Congress "plummeted" due to their role in the matter?

Okey-dokey! I shied away from that posting that one, myself!

Or what someone else said to me recently: conservatives don't want to give President Obama any credit for the improving economy but they sure like to blame him for rising gas prices.

Just what did mr. obama DO to improve the economy? Specifics?

Thought you might come up with more than pure deflection, you seemed so convinced by that report you posted.

Then again, I also thought you might just post nothing, as it seemed indeed so biased and sloppy...

LOL

There are many fine news sources out there, Rita. Try 'em!

Or try just considering the point, which was the hypocrisy of continually complaining about President Obama wrt gas prices but nevertheless never giving him any credit for the ongoing economic recovery.

It seems the witching hour has suddenly arrived, here...

you made the claim..back it up...if you can...you are on the internet all day so you shouldn't have any trouble finding real facts ..not opinions, to back it up. What did Obama do?

Try reading the well known analysis of McCain campaign economics advisor Mark Zandi, about how stimulus spending (you know, what you Republicans so often complain about as useless) helped the country avert a second Great Depression.

Try recognizing the Obama administration's actions in saving Detroit and all those jobs.

As I say, try reading a news source, you know.

Or again, try focusing on the question, which more logically requires you to explain how a president has much control over gas prices.
