Is Bush's high gas prices, caused by Bush's falling dollar, enough to keep you from voting for Bush3?

Me too!

It's called the "Enron Loop" !

Anybody who thinks Bush has done a good job during his time in office is living in a plastic bubble. Our employment, education, infrastructure, health and dental care systems rank among the worst of all industrialized nations. We have literally lost thousands of lives with a war that was falsely started because of oil.

We continually defend Persian Gulf countries who have the worst human rights records of most countries in the world because of oil. We are now paying upwards of $4.00 per gallon for gas which means gas prices have nearly tripled in 5 years during Bush's watch (gas was roughly around $1.72 per gallon in early 2003).

Companies like Blackwater (private Army for hire), Halliburton (services for oil, gas, and construction and once headed by current Vice President Dick Cheney), CACI (IT firm providing interrogators and translators), and TITAN (providing interrogators and translators). All of these companies head back room secret meetings prior to the invasion of Iraq and all are benefitting from their buddies in Washington D.C. who hold very high influential positions within our government.



Obama can't possible do any worse than Bush ! When your two largest employers are WalMart and McDonald's, both billion dollar corporations who treat their employees like third world citizens, something is terribly wrong. The minimum wage which is another joke in itself remained stagnant during the Reagan-Bush years and during the Bush-Quayle years hardly ever increasing until now. As of July 1 2008, the minimum wage will increase to whopping $6.55 per hour ! Wow !

It seems odd that the only sitting Presidents (who also happen to be father and son) during American invasions of Middle Eastern countries were REPUBLICAN !

The only idiots who support Bush are those who get richer from his conniving tactics. If you think WalMart is employee friendly, then you're really not living in the real world.

Lets see when GWB took office and the Democrats left the deficit was at a cool 5.7 and was going down. Now it is at an all time high 9.2 trillon. He is like some drunk with a credit card and a blue light special at a kmart! And he buys the whole d**n store. The popular vote elected Gore in 2000. Where would we be today if he had been given the job??? I am almost certain we would not have a 9.2 trillion dollar deficit!

Oh yeah! Actually, there are other factors besides the falling dollar; speculating on gas, failure to build refineries, and destabilization of the Middle East are a few. But they are all related to Bush actions/policies. So yeah, my wallet says its enough to keep me from voting for him.
Source(s):
hesjim is another revisionist. Speculating by energy companies was authorized in a piece of legislation known as the Enron loophole; passed, conveniently and with the help of George HW Bush in 1992. Plus, consumption is at an all time high and production is down due to the oil companies refusing to build new refineries or refurbish the old ones. Jeez.. at least get your facts straight. Nice try.
Answered By: mrtester1959 - 6/30/2008
Wow! When did Bush become the Emperor of the world? I guess he single handedly forced the price of crude oil to triple, (not the shortage of supply caused by the Democrats restricting drilling for more). He single handedly ran up the debt (without Congress first passing the spending bills).

My, things sure have improved since the Democrats took over Congress, haven't they? All we have to do in put Obama into office so he can raise the tax rate to 60?add additional taxes on gasoline and provide free health care to 12,000 illegal aliens and this will be heaven on earth.

This mess really picked up steam when the dems took over congress. Oil was less than $60 then.
Answered By: fsfa - 6/29/2008
You should be thanking Bill Clinton for deregulating the speculating on oil futures back in 98-99. Before that you could not speculate on it and it kept oil prices stable. This whole increase is because of rich stock market players raising the price on paper! Oil production is higher today even though consumption is down! So blame the right person tell Bill thanks for nothing!
Answered By: hesjim57 - 6/29/2008
Yes, because everything is Bush's fault. </sarcasm>

I will vote for who I think will be the best person to lead this country, regardless of party.
Answered By: AZrockslide - 6/29/2008
Yes and I shall say again YES
vote Obama

if all our money wasn't going to halliburton the national debt wouldn't be what it is and the dollar would be stronger which would mean lower gas prices
Answered By: TresAmigo - 6/29/2008
Yeah, pretty much. Unless I get called racist one too many times and have to prove it.
Answered By: Harry Potus - 6/29/2008
All obama supporters can say about their man is that he is not bush since they know little about him and ignore what is known.
but no member of congress has broken ranks with his party and president more than mccain. not even obama who typically does not vote.
bush and mccain did sign the automatic inflation/minimum wage hike and that hurt the dollar. but so did obama.
the point is that only one of these candidates has a record that distingueshes them from bush and that is mccain. the other has so record to speak of.
Answered By: karl k - 6/29/2008
High gas prices are caused by the DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS! Gas was $1.70 until the Dems. took over! How could the falling dollar have ANYTHING to do with Bush? CONGRESS holds the purse strings!
Answered By: Don't Tread On Me! - 6/29/2008
It really is unreal how many of us know absolutely nothing about Congress's role in the white house. It amazes me to no end.
Answered By: sassinya - 6/29/2008
Bush cannot run for a 3rd term. Seems you dems don't know this.
Answered By: Son of Long Legged Mac Daddy - 6/29/2008
Im sure you know these gas prices aren't Bush's fault but I guess it's possible you're not bright enough to know that, I suppose you're one of those that thinks Obama will do much better with gas prices after he raises taxes on the oil companies. Give me Bush anyday over Obama!

All this stuff going on around you, and you have no idea why. They only thing that you seem to know how to do is blame one man. How logical is it to blame one man for the world's problems? How logical is it to think that these problems were all created in the last 7 years? You are delusional, homey.

It was the Dem party in Congress not Bush honey learn before you vote you people scare me! So seeing your clueless your vote shouldn't even count either!

So today I went in for an interview and I was going in for the 2nd interview by the head chief executive. now this is where it got weird, so she asked me about my previous jobs and said how much she liked that product over that product. then she started talking about her daughter? an her divorce ...then how she didn't finish college because she was making more money doing what she did for this company ... then she talked about how her teenage daughter is a handful... I just played it cool thinking she was using some sort of psychology thing to trick me into saying something stupid. the interview ended and she seemed happy an I was escorted to the door... now I'm freaking confused? is this normal behavior for an executive? like it felt like she was going to burst into tears at one point and tell me her life problems... is this normal? was she trying to see how I react or something?

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

Recently I have overlooked for a project at work and I am unable to accept it why? I am hard working, dedicated, maintain a very professional decorum, very cordial with my colleagues and bosses, give respect to one and all. Still people who take the p***, argue with managers, gossip mongers have been selected for some very responsible positions at work. I seriously can't get my head around it why, why unprofessional people who have no work ethics being selected over me, whereas I have a track record of excellent performance and never shy away from any work my manager ask me to do? I am at my lowest point and not getting hold of my manager to ask the question why not me, why them who can't even bother? I am feeling like a complete loser, giving years to this place, building my performance, trust and this is how I get rewarded. Why my life is so shit, anything I wish for turns to dust?

So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?!

I am currently a 1st year irregular college student taking I.T. I transferred schools and my majors never got credited. But it's okay because i am slowly getting the logics in programming in Java. This next semester i am taking a System Analysis and Design(SADSIGN) and i am getting nervous because even though i am pretty good at logics, i am not that good at coding. But since it is a case study, we will be on group, we will be four i think. Project manager, Analyst, Documentation, and the programmer. I am asking what jobs i can get after graduating I.T. because what if i graduated I.T. and still not that good at coding, i am hoping that there will be a jobs that will require less programming. Like Database manager or in Multimedia or in charge of Network. So is there jobs that doesn't require hardcore programming skills?
