    now matter how shitty a president is, he often has little to do with a bad economy. presidents tend to get blamed when the economy is bad and take credit when it's good.

    so what exactly did Clinton do in the 1990s or the Democratic Congress in the 1980s to stifle increases in oil prices? answer: nothing–the same as bush. let's be fair here…

    I love you Perez but blaming Bush is not correct. You need to blame the big corp. CEOs who own these companies. They don't need to make billions in profit year after year. C'mon now, no president has that much pull. AND if we didn't go to Iraq to have some sort of control over the oil, what would we all do? We are the biggest consumers of oil. To stay great, we have to travel abroad at times to continue support for our countrymen.

    It is obviously all of Bush's fault along with his cronies. While the rest of America is going to have to save more and conserve, Bush and co. will leave the White House very well off. He sold us all out to benefit himself! Bush SUCKS!

    Gas has NOT risen to a new national record in America if you factor in inflation, which you would, if you knew anything about what you were trying to talk about.

    Blame Clinton for NAFTA, and Greenspan and private banking for derivatives. Bush has little to do with this particular mess.

    You know nothing about how the economy works, Perez.

    Stick to what you know, Perez, harassing drunk teen cunts on a daily basis, and stay away from subjects that require half an IQ.

    Hey idiots…it is NOT Bush's fault that we are in a recession…it is all of you ridiculous people who live well beyond your means and borrow money that you can't afford to pay back (i.e. racking up credit card debt and and buying expensive real estate). Further, high gas prices are simply a matter of supply and demand (oil is a natural resource you know). Everyone in our country is a gas glutton…likes all of you people who drive cars, eat food and buy products that are transported by trucks, fly on airplanes that burn thousands of gallons of fuel, etc. If you want things to get better — be reasonable and responsible and quit acting like economic idiots!

    Quit blaming Bush. It isn't as if he gets to make the decisions on his on. There is a system of checks and balances and he is basically a puppet for the Congress. Get an education. Quit pointing the finger, and remember, "Friends don't let friends vote Democrat." Obama would be the downfall of America and you are all to stupid to motice.

  44. Too easy says – reply to this

    I say it all the gays fault. And lets not forget the democrats do run 2 thirds of our government, both the congress and senate. They asked we vote them is to get us out of Iraq and turn around the economy, both things they didn't do.

    Lordy.. We aren't driling for Oil and Alaska or the Gulf to save the spotted owl, caribou..(or maybe the spots on Robert Redfords face)…. Cuba and China are going to start drilling in the Gulf soon I hear.. nice!… The automakers are going to have to meet high, high standards for Milespergal.. which will probably mean very lightweight and more dangerous cars… not to mention we have no new Nuclear plants being built in the US and no oil refineries being built…. ALL BECAUSE OF THE REALLY STUPID POLITICALLY CORRECT B.S. that so many folks in the US have inhaled and accepted without question! Only Perez can save us!

    How ignorant of you to say Blame Bush for the gas prices!!! He has nothing to do with the price of oil. Blame OPEC. And the economy is not his fault either, it is a cycle and he cannot fix it - neither could anyone else. How can he be at fault when people spend too much of their own money and then can't pay their bills or mortgages? Does he have to go door to door and help people balance their own checkbooks? Perez, sometimes your a total moron.

    Bush has absolutely NOTHING to do with gas prices! The war, yes. Gas prices are completely out of his control. Its the oil producing nations, which is not us!

    I saw a job advert a couple months ago at Hudson HR looking for people in the oil design sector with 10 years experience, wanting them to go to Quatar, Iraq.
    One thing (-grabbed my attention-) burned into my memory: "…family friendly working environment…". Oh, sure.
    That place could be called "Black Mesa (Middle) East".
    I just checked the website, the ad is gone, guess someone took the job.

  59. GET INFORMED, PEREZ says – reply to this
    59

    Maybe you should become informed on WHY the economy is slowing and gas prices are rising, instead of just "blaming Bush". You are all about being informed when it comes to your precious lesbot Prez candidate, but you can't fuckin do research and find out the truth?

    By the way, I'm not saying it's Bush's fault or not, I'm just saying you should get informed.

    Re: Kyle – Pssst…First he spent our surplus on an illegal and useless war. They deregulated the financial markets while plummeting the interest rate. The sub-prime loan was invented in France in like the 1700s or something. This was an intentional theft of wealth much like that war is and all those no-bid contract that increase stocks such as Halliburton's LITERALLY 3000%! Wake up this recession was very much Bush's fault. We were in a recession before 9/11, and Bush & Co stole what could be used to recover and gave it to their buddies. And now with these recovery and other fixes to help the banks steal even more money from the taxpayer while they devalue the currency even more! The dollar bills in your wallet have decreased in value over 30+% because of Bush and his spending ways.

    perez shut the fuck up….im so sick of u blaming every goddam thing that goes wrong on bush, we get it, ur a democrat, keep ur opinions to urself, its not his fault the economy isnt doing its best right now…

    btw, i have a headache, must be bush's fault

  62. Perez Shitbrain says – reply to this
    62

    Yeah Perez Shitbrain, keep saying "we blame bush" cuz its a short cut to thinking for a moron like you. Keep people on this slogan masquerading as knowledge, instead of actually doing a little research and finding out why oil prices are really going up. Im no Bush supporter but the sooner people get off this left vs. right paradigm which the elite want us to fight about the sooner people will see the truth for what it is. And all you morons who think that Hillary, Obama, or McCain are gonna "change" anything are in for a rude awakening. Google the North American Union, google the Federal Reserve, google the Amero Perez and get back to me.

    George Bush will be remembered as the worst president in history.
    He has destroyed the economy. We need a change. I am afraid so many people will not be able to get past their predjuces against a woman or a man of color that they will vote for another republican.

    Re: Kyle – Another Psst….The main reason gas prices are rising so much because the value of the dollar has decreased in that same time. Oh and we have no refinaries because the oil companies bought them and shut them down, while creating other bottlenecks every where they can. They've even sat ships off the coast to increase prices. And don't you wonder about the only man in Texas who couldn't make money on oil. Well one of the issues that put him under, he claims, is the price per barrel. When the war started in 3/03 (the month the Iraq war started) the price of gasoline was $1.24/gallon in expensive CA and $16/barrel. Why are Cheney's energy meetings secret?

    The economy isn't really Bush's fault. Gas prices affect the price of everything, and no, that's not Bush's fault either. It's demand that's raising the prices. We're gas hogs, and China has been sucking gas up as it develops as well. Remember supply and demand from econ 101? Those of you who have been to college?

    OPEC and the Saudi's told the US off the other day and said high prices were our own fault and they are. Ever time the dollar takes a dive, prices go up. We haven't been looking for oil ourselves and haven't built any new refineries since the '70's (many president administrations to blame for that). AND if you are going to blame anyone, go to Wall Street. Oil is traded as a future, the prices are made there. (fixed there)

    Yeah, we should blame everything on one person. Blame couldn't possibly lie with Congress, the assholes that own the oil, or our dependency on imports. Of course, it's just easier to blame one person that you don't agree with most of the time.
