On the final day of George W. Bush's presidency (January 20, 2009), the average gas price in America was $1.849 for a gallon of regular gasoline and $2.279 for a gallon of diesel fuel.
Today, after just over 3 years of Obamanomics, the average cost of gasoline in the USA is $3.579 for a gallon of regular gasoline, and $3.959 for a gallon of diesel fuel.
Can any of us really afford 4 more years of Obamanomics?
Boy do we need George W. Bush back in the White House!
ReplyDeleteRemember that billboard a while back with President Bushs' picture on it and the caption 'DO YOU MISS ME YET?'.
ReplyDeleteBoy, do we ever!
Problem is this country hasn't come up with a replacement for this mess yet.
ReplyDeletePrediction is, when in doubt, do nothing. We will probably endure another 4 years of Obama.
Obama is giving you exactly what he promised. During the campaign, he repeatedly said that under his energy policy, fuel costs would necessarily skyrocket. You voted for him, so now he is going to give you exactly what he promised, $6 a gallon gasoline.
ReplyDeleteName just one New England state that will vote for a republican this time? Include the tri state area also. Deep blue northeast and far left coast. Hopefully the rest of the fly over country does the right thing. We can't rely on the northeast. We love free shit.
ReplyDelete$5.00 + per gallon this summer. Getting drilled baby drilled!

LUCKILY FOR AMERICA, ENOUGH OF THE REMAINING FREE STATES IN THE CENTER OF THE NATION ARE EXPECTED TO ELECT REPUBLICANS TO THE SENATE THAT WE SHOULD BE TURNING THE SENATE OVER TO REPUBLICANS AND ENDING THE FREE REIGN THAT COMMUNIST DEMOCRATS HAVE HAD OVER THIS NATION--AGAINST THE OVERWHELMING WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Governor Rowland just had the head of the gasoline dealers on his show, and the guy is promising us $6.00 per gallon by Memorial Day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Obummer!
Jon Green, 38, who started the Connecticut chapter of WFP in 2002, is leaving next month to help create similar organizations in other states for the national Working Families Party (WFP). And while getting the paid sick days legislation passed in Connecticut may have received the most headlines, it‘s not the one Jon Green touts as his proudest accomplishment.
ReplyDelete“There are certainly things we’ve done that I’m proud of, but the one I value the most is building an organization to help change the political landscape in the state,” Green said in an interview.
The Working Families Party, which receives support from several labor organizations, looks to cross-endorse candidates who share their vision for social and economic justice. That cross endorsement earns a candidate a second spot on the general election ballot, and door knocking help from the third party’s volunteers. It made the difference in several races across the state, including Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s election in 2010 where the 26,308 votes on the WFP line, helped contribute to his 6,404 vote victory over Republican Tom Foley.
The Working Families Party has focused on Congressional and gubernatorial candidates. It has not elected anyone to the General Assembly, but its candidates have received more than 1 percent of the vote in many statewide elections, allowing the party to endorse candidates of the two major parties. Aside from its statewide success, it has also been successful in electing members of the party to local office, including winning seats on the Hartford City Council.
The WFP organization will be searching for a replacement for Green over the next few weeks. At the national party, Green will continue to play a role in the Connecticut organization, but won’t be involved in the day-to-day operations.
Jon Green butted heads with the Connecticut Business and Industry Association over the issue of paid sick days for years leading up to its passage last year. Green’s own lobbying efforts on the issue earned him a $10,000 fine from the Office of State Ethics a few months ago because he failed to pick up and wear his lobbyist badge.
