13, 000 in Colorado a few days ago; same day Mitt Romney had 3,00. Dems will pack BofA Stadium Thursday night.

Its Colorado about the most liberal state. That's like the Redskins selling out a home playoff game.

Dems have only won Colorado twice in 40 years; Bill Clinton in 1992 and Obama in 2008. Hardly liberal, my friend.

This article from CNN is blamming Bush and congress for not doing anything back in 2008.

President, Congress offer no immediate help on gas prices - CNN (http://articles.cnn.com/2008-06-09/politics/bush.congress_1_alternative-fuels-gasoline-prices-gas-prices?_s=PM:POLITICS)

She also said it their fault:

Nancy Pelosi Blames Bush and Cheney for Gas Prices | (http://thestarlette.net/2008/07/18/nancy-pelosi-blames-bush-and-cheney-for-gas-prices/)


I see you didn't ready my link becuase if you had then you have seen this....


"

Earlier this year, closures of refineries announced in the United States and elsewhere began pushing up gasoline prices well in advance of the coming "driving season." More recent increases are more closely tied to the delicate balance between increased demand growth and concerns related to supply disruptions, including but not limited to concern over Iran.

The single largest component in the price of gasoline is the cost of crude oil. Federal, state and local taxes as well as refining costs, transportation, retail advertising and the cost of the service station lease also figure in. All things being equal, for gas to cost $2.50 a gallon, the crude oil price would have to be in the $50-a-barrel range (less than half of the current price). And to achieve this anytime soon would likely require a global economic collapse.
With oil at $50-a-barrel it would not be economically viable for oil companies to bear the cost of extracting oil locked up in hard-to-reach places such as the deep ocean or oil sands, where much of the new production is found. Such a price reduction would, in any event, be short-lived, as demand would grow with lower prices while supply languished. For the longer term, the president's goal of doubling fuel economy standards and increasing fuel choices makes eminent good sense: It would make $4 gasoline feel like $2 gas to consumers. Also a very good thing."

.....and that NO President can be held responsible for the rising cost of gas.

Pretty moving piece on Teddy Kennedy, so I thought.

Prices on everything are going up because of QE1 and QE2, and wait for QE3, then QE4 to really raise those prices. Sorry, but when you inflate the money supply by the trillions, prices are going to soar. Throw in some greed and gouging and you have what we have now, but it is mostly just inflation. Food prices have gone up, and that is even before this summer's bad drought.

.....and that NO President can be held responsible for the rising cost of gas.Not solely responsible, but when Obama's Energy Secy says he wants to boost the price of gas to European levels, that shows you the overall Obama strategy.

Shutting down the Keystone pipeline and ridiculous permit restrictions on existing drilling operations are the way Obama is attempting to reach his goal.....and we will see $ 6+ gas if he's re-elected.

Michelle Obama was talking about our great country and all we have done. This from the lady who 4 yrs back said "I'm finally proud of my country" something like that. She needs to decide which one it is.
