It’s interesting, and by interesting I mean entirely predicatable and stupid, that while when Bush was in office the Left said that the president (or his puppetmaster) had total control over gas prices and he wouldn’t lower them so that Shell could make money. The Right said it was speculators and the president couldn’t do anything about it. Now that Obama is in office the Left says that the poor president can’t do anything about it, it’s the market forces and the Right is all, “Whoa, let’s not blame the speculators, what about the President.”
I realize that you can change your story from one month to the next and neither the media nor the public will notice, but c’mon, let’s try for a little intellectual honesty.
