Whenever oil prices went up under Bush, lefties were always quick to point out how Bush was taking care of his oil buddies. On January 19th oil was trading at $34.78 on Friday it closed at $68.44. So in less than 5 months in office oil has DOUBLED under Obama. Where is the outrage? Where is the MSM reporting on this? http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2009/06/06/price- oil-doubled-inauguration-will-media-blame-obama Virtually every time oil and gasoline prices rose when George W. Bush was in the White House, his policies and/or his connections to folks in the oil industry were blamed by newsrooms from coast to coast. Yet, even though oil has doubled in price since Inauguration Day, with retail gas prices up $0.75 a gallon, you'd be hard-pressed to find reports blaming these spikes on President Obama or anything he's done since taking office. The media is trying to ensure that Obama is successful. During the Carter years it got so bad that a "Misery Index" was created. Where do they stand on the "Misery Index" right now? I guess nobody will know forever, because the media is very careful to protect this guy. |
