    Do we take from this that Bachmann now supports the Obama administration energy policies?

    "The day that the President became President, gasoline was $1.79 a gallon. Look at what it is today. Under President Bachmann, you will see gasoline come down below $2 a gallon again. That will happen."

    Isn't the point of this now-laughable thread that the president has no control over gas prices? To suggest that a single member of the House had any influence over declining oil prices is both self-congratulatory and delusional.

    No, not really. The President has, but limited control over price of oil. We all knew that.

    The point of this thread was to be a dick. The point of this thread now is to be an idiot.

    It's funny how the Grand Wizard creates threads and you can pretty much predict his responses. It's like a how to be a troll playbook.

    How is the world's greatest job creator, Rick Perry, going to look with $50 oil?
    He spewed a lot of hubris at $100. That rapid uptick in job growth is going to fall off just as fast.

    ^^

    I was proven right in this very thread.

    Gasoline is low DESPITE Obama right now. You can thank the innovation from the US shale producers for the price today. Obama's actions to limit drilling and his foolish knee-jerk actions after Macondo proved me right. I love it when this thread is resurrected so I get to see how correct I was, again.
