Greed,laziness and the union

That's the part of the increase, along with his overall push toward green energy, that I would blame him for. That does not account for all of the increase we've seen though. Not even close. The merits of shutting the pipeline down are another matter.
Fuel prices went up worldwide as we came out of covid restrictions. Those increases were projected in the spring and summer of 2020. Inflation was already in the forecast too. It's happened around world.

I appreciate the rational, sane dialogue.

Mr Biden has directly blamed almost all of the energy issues America is having on “Putins war”……over and over.
It’s the typical political blame game …..instead of looking within for the problem.

Russia did not help. You can look at the correlation between the time of the invasion and fuel prices skyrocketing. It absolutely played a part. It wasn't the only cause though and the White House and Biden have sounded silly when they solely blame Russia.

Seems that Putin's war is now causing gas prices to fall??????????????

Yes CW if Putin's war caused gas prices to go up, then why have they been going down for several months? Answer: the left had to blame anything but themselves and they just had all the medias spew the "Putin's War" BS every day hoping that the under and misinformed people would buy it. Obviously we have such people right here on good ole 4M!!!!!

Knock Knock!!!! Nobody home!!!

Yes, it has made them sound silly and out of touch with reality…..their problem is that they think everyone they are talking to believes them.

Contrary to popular belief, all Americans aren’t lazy and stupid…..the Biden folks just think they are.

Folks are too lazy to research the actual reason for fuel prices. It's easy to blame the President when they are high and a lot of lazy, narrow minded folks do that.
Every single administration ever would have spun this, except Jimmy Carter's. We see how that worked for him. The spin machine coming out of the White House now is no worse than most. They are in the "spin minor leagues" compared to the DT administration. They literally said they were presenting "alternative facts" and the followers marched right along.

The price drop for energy (gas prices) was not because of Obama's policies, it was in spite of them. Obama could do nothing to stop the booming of fracking, especially in North Dakota, which was happening almost exclusively on private lands. It was ironic that one of things he was most against - hydraulic fracturing - was something that was actually making his economy look good during those later years of his administration.

Obama picked his battles wisely. I wonder if someone, anyone on here will have something good to say about him after reading that article.

Yes that is true. And some more truth is, is the fact that shutting oil drilling and fracking like Biden has done from day one is the reason for the gas prices goiing up, and they think people are stupid enough to believe blaming Putin or all the other lame lying excuses they come up with. This is not a competent or legitimate government in power right now and they are following an agenda to ruin America and destroy wealth in the middle class as well as all around. It is foolish to legitimize these peoples excuses and lies coming from their mouths and that silly incompetent spokes woman who literally lies and deflects everything. Except of course, get your vaccines and it's Putins war. What a pure hack that pathetic display of "diversity" is!!!

Although Obama wasn’t my type of President, I always give him credit for the good things he did. That’s something the Trump haters can’t say.

This board is full of folks who won't say one good thing about Biden, Obama, Clinton, or about any democrat.
Trump just didn't do much that I liked. There were a few things that were cool. Overall, he did things that most every Republican would do and was a complete embarrassment the whole time.
He's nuttier now than ever btw.

You are just a barrel of laughs ,aren't you ? ?

He kept himself slim.

He seemed like a loving and doting father, sending his wife and daughters on lavish trips all over the world.

There, I said nice things.

Jr29, unfortunately you are dealing with some gullible fools who will vote for anyone with a "R" behind their name. The conman has proven that. The republican party loves these gullible fools. The republican could run a monkey and these gullible fools would vote for the monkey. Mitch McConnell as already said if the conman was the republican candidate for the presidency, he would vote for him. These gullible fools will do the same. Sooner are later the republicans will realize that Candidates Matter.

It's my fault for not being more specific.
You still proved my point though.

There is definitely about thirty percent of our country who would support My Pillow as a high level government official.
