Rising Gas Prices and Hypocrisy.........

(hat-tip to Dana)

It's funny, I don't see Libya on the chart below chart....
We actually only import 17 thousand barrels per day from them.
So why is our prices soaring??

( I know some of it is futures trading and unrest in the middle-east)

Back when Bush was in office, he was in the back pocket of Haliburton (supposedly!!)
when gas prices went up.


The media linked Bush to rising gas prices 15 times more than Obama:

"The Business & Media Institute examined all the broadcast network news reports mentioning
gas prices during each of those time periods and found ABC, CBS and NBC aired more
than 2 ½ times more stories (63 stories to 24) in 2008 than they did in 2011."
 
"Not a single one of 2011 stories about rising gas prices BMI examined brought up any of Obama's
anti-oil policies despite the impact they could have on supply and prices."
 
"GREAT READ"

Does this mean Barry is in Haliburtons pocket as well.....or someone elses??
where is the outrage........peep, peep, peep........move along please


Even the media isn't having much to do with it, where oh where are the journalists??
