Serious question for liberals

[miles]

At what point would you decide the country would be better off without Obama as president?

10% unemployment....15% unemployment?

$6.00/gallon for gas?

Irrefutable evidence from the Washington Post, NY Times, and MSNBC of White House corruption?

Another GM bailout?

Just asking.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Never.

 

[kbate]

When you can provide a candidate who isn't the same, perhaps?

Mitt Romney - "I’m not sure there will be the right time for us to encourage the use of more gasoline."

 

[miles]

Never.

They aren't honest enough to admit it.

Great "gotcha" questions, Miles! So typical of you!

I particularly like how you attempt to hold President Obama for gasoline prices, along with some sort of nebulous "corruption" charges that seem to exist only in the minds of fringe-right whackadoodles.

Keep those "serious questions" coming!

Conservatives who blame Obama for gas prices are just as moronic as Liberals who blamed Bush. I can go with the idea that the president can have some impact but it's completely dwarfed by other price influences.

I'd say we'd be worse under Obama if GDP declined. Or if he got us mired in new wars. Or if he reduced freedoms for women, gays, etc.

I would say his refusal to allow off shore drilling in the wake of the BP spill places him firmly in lie to be blamed for gas prices. Though to be honest I feel his other issues are far more problematic then the ones show here. Is Romney the be all and end all? Nope not for me but in the end I feel he will damage the country less then another 4 years under the current administration.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Sorry merc, but wasting Capital by picking green winners and losers, the drilling moratorium, Keystone, the initiative against coal via the EPA, fostering Middle East turmoil by weak, at best, support of our allies in Israel are all part of the problem and all part of the story of O.

I'll disagree. A Democratic president who doesn't permit wholesale environmental rape MAY have a slight adverse impact on gas prices ten years down the line...

A Republican president starting pre-emptive wars in teh Middle East can and does adversely affect oil pipelines and can cause immediate short-term spikes in prices.

You mean the brief moratorium on *coughs* 33 rigs out of thousands globally? You think that impacted global supply significantly?

 

[RobDownSouth]

Are all part of teh planned destruction of teh American economy.

I'm glad you find such comfort in fringe conspiracy theories, and hope you continue to do so in the next 4 years of President Obama's administration.

True. But barring a MAJOR middle eastern conflict that physically (more than speculatively) disrupts supply, other factors still play a larger part. Basic supply and demand.

 

[chaser723]

Yes I do feel it had an effect on us. And those rigs going elsewhere continues to have an effect maye not a huge one but an effect none the less.

Human Action.

You don't have to have numbers to change behavior...

I think if President Obama ignores warnings which lead to a terrorist attack which kill thousands, because he is convinced Iraq is the real threat, then uses the attack as pretext to invade Iraq and proceeds to bungle military actions in 2 foreign countries, I would be done with him.

I mean really, who could tolerate that sort of a thing from a President.

With the developed world sliding into recession, what is the demand?

Remind me again how much oil is produced in Afghanistan?

If Afghanistan could produce half as much oil as we have burned over there, they would be in great shape.

Fairly constant.

If it were proven tomorrow that Barack Obama aka Barry Soetoro aka Harrison J. Bounel is a demonstrable fraud, his remora-like sycophants such as Merc, Zip, UD, LT, et al, would be tearfully clinging to and kissing his cuffs as they frog jumped him off to the nearest federal magistrate.

I'm noticing a correlation between Romney slipping in the polls and your desperation to believe he is some kind of fraud, imposter, double agent etc.

It's fun watching you lose whatever tenuous grip you had on reality.

Truth be told, you're probably getting pretty close to being institutionalized in an assisted care facility for the mentally challenged. It's that steady diet of hate you're on.

we're better off with no president at all.
