It is funny that you mention 9/11. Isn't it ironic that the Bush Administration had knowledge that it would happen but didn't act. Oh thats right Ms Rice forgot to tell him that the FBI had people under surveillence wanting to learn how to fly aircrafts and were trying to rent planes that spread fertilizer. But I am sure that they were just interested in becoming farmers. You are exactly right 9/11 will happen again if we dont remove this administration. Remember he is the one that used "intelligence" to wage war because of the WMD. $70 billion later we haven't even found one. And you can take THAT to the bank |

Please, if you are going to try to make a comment at least THINK before you do. You probably got a C in economics like GW. |

That's like saying looking at the price of bread in 1929 as 10 cents a loaf is just for comparison purposes. Fact is, there is a psychological impact to seeing $2+ every time you visit the pump, and the impact on your wallet is real, but it is still less than it was in the early 80's.
There are many factors contributing to the current price, including higher global demand as economies heat up, oil production, refineries stretched to the limits because of custom blends for different states to satisfy their individual environmental laws, and the cost incurred this year to retool to reduce sulfur in the fuels.
This all would be taking place regardless of who our president is... except maybe the part about the economy. I suppose we could enjoy lower gas prices if only the economy wasn't improving.... given the options, I'll stick with the improving economy.
Here's a chart:

And I think you probably got an F. Ever been outside of the United States? Lived in any other economy?

Greenhat-
Please, you are trying to make what you think is a logical comment, but everytime you do your stupidity shines through. Yes, I have been outside of the united states and visited countires with different economic factors. You cant compare a country like Africa to the US, there are social, trade, and monetary differences. Now move along and go compare an apple to an orange. |

Is the economy improving? Inflation is at 2.3% and only recenlty did the unemplyment rate decrease. How ironic that it is an election year |

2.3% inflation is bad? Actually, deflation is bad and can precipitate an economic downward spiral similar to that of the Great Depression. I think we can handle 2.3%. In fact it is expected. Even something as simple as salary increases will contribute to inflation, as will extremely low interest rates. Nothing to worry about.
Some more data on unemployment rates:

M..F..D..  You got your talking points from Geo. Soro's book'The President of Good and Evil'.
How could Pres. Bush know in a little over 7 months what Clinton didn't know in 8 YEARS ?
You might want to read'Losing Bin Laden', Bitter Legacy,Catastrophe, to see who really is to blame. |

Greenhat-
When you decide to make an intelligent comment, I will listen. Otherwise go back to your meaningless life.

I have no reason to concern myself with talking to you. You have demonstrated your insular point of view and your inability to grasp reality, and have illustrated your lack of experience outside of the United States. Have a discussion with you? Why?

2.3% inflation is a BAD thing? It's what... the lowest since Jimmy Carter's presidency????
And unemployment at 5.6%? The exact same rate about which Billy Blow Job Clinton gloated in his re-election campaign?
You're tooooo funnny!

I agree.. it's unlikely Kerry showed up to vote 10 times just kidding.
But for some recently updated info on his voting record (he's missed over 80% of the votes since May 2003), go here:
