Over the past few years, according to Obama. Yes, he really did. He claimed we were better off now. See for yourselves:

Over three months ago, I wrote a post about the price of gasoline, “Up, Up, And Away.” At the time, I was lamenting how gas prices were around $3 a gallon, and outlined some of the difficulties these kinds of prices place on regular old people like us. I did not think that the prices [...]

What did we miss in the news? Well, a bunch of things, actually. And perhaps this is why this whole ginned up “civility” discussion has been the primary focus of the talking heads. I hasten to add, the stories of the six victims in Tucson, Judge John Roll, Christina Taylor Green, Giffords Aide Gabe Zimmerman, [...]

That would be the price of gasoline these days. I don’t know about where you live, but I do know I went away for a week, and came back with the gas prices higher than when I left. We are closing in on $3 a gallon here. The Washington Examiner had an editorial on this [...]

According to The Hill, Senator Lindsay Graham, who has been working with Senators John Kerry and Joe Leiberman for six months on Cap and Trade Legislation has walked away from the table as he… is upset over Democratic plans to take up immigration legislation this year – he accuses Democratic leaders of pushing forward immigration [...]

Because I have to say, that I’m looking at that empty tub and I’m worried. Was our “green” bandwagon solely driven by concerns over global warming? What happened to our almost universal demand for energy independence and energy security? Did it leave the bath in a cleansing scrub of reduced gas prices? Are we blindly [...]

For those of you who thought Governor Sarah Palin would go quietly into that good night, think again. Her Op-Ed in today’s Washington Post strikes directly at the heart of President Obama’s cap and trade plans. She misses no opportunity to point out that his recovery plans are not exactly helping those in need, well, [...]

Susan’s Notes: Well!!! It’s happened, after all the conjecture the past few days speculating if the two men would meet. Today, they shook hands. From the April 18, 2009 Times UK, “President Obama in historic handshake with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela“: All the conjecture and today’s meeting reminded me of Truthteller’s excellent piece on March [...]

THIS IS AN OPEN THREAD TOO. Night owls: Check out the Asian markets for us. NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices plunged over $10 a barrel Monday as a U.S. financial bailout plan failed to win legislative approval, increasing fears tat a prolonged economic downturn that could sharply curtail energy demand. Light, sweet crude for [...]

Earlier today, Byron York, at his National Review blog, The Corner, reported on his assessment of Gov. Sarah Palin’s abilities as a debater, based on her performance during Alaska’s 2006 gubernatorial Republican primary race. York found a two-year-old video at C-Span of Sarah Palin debating the other two GOP primary candidates, Frank Murkowski, the incumbent [...]

Last month, Barack Obama rejected the idea of tapping into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as a way to hopefully offset high gas prices for consumers. What a difference a month makes. Right on the heels of Obama’s dead fish flop on drilling off the coast of FL (even Jeb didn’t want to do this) comes [...]

In June, presidential candidate Barack Obama said that he opposed drilling for oil off the U.S. coastline, explaining that 1) it would take 10 years to produce any oil at all, and 2) that said oil would not do much to lower gas prices anyway because our nation consumes such a high percentage of the [...]

I’m laughing so hard I am practically crying here. What on earth is wrong with Barack Obama? Is he a simpleton? Is he unable to grasp complex problems? Or is it just that he shouldn’t be allowed to speak without a teleprompter? As you might recall, Manchild Barack Obama has already told us that as President [...]

Obama continues his Master of the Universe tour,today landing in Germany. He has a big ol’ speech planned to wow them in Germany, and to get their votes. Oh, wait – they can’t vote for him! No matter, he is bound and determined that he will get massive support there. He even went so far [...]

So these must be the “Green Jobs” Barack Obama is thinking about. A couple of hundred thousand consultants. Wonderful. It’s a great way to hire and boost the income of friends and family though. That doesn’t include You, suckers. Just so you know. While most Americans find that what once was their disposable income is [...]
