Remember when that Newt Gingrich guy predicted that if Obama was elected he would push gas to 10 a gallon? Gingrich, Bachmanns challenger for the 2012 nomination, promised $2.50 gas if he was elected.
(snip)
Gasoline prices will be cheaper this weekend than for any Labor Day weekend since 2004.

Remember all the promises made by the 2008 GOP candidates on the economy?
EVERY ONE OF THOSE PROMISES, those crazy-ass rehortical political blabberings based obviously on false HOPE, mocked by the Left of the political spectrum as pie in the sky dreaming, every one Obama has exceeded!
THAT my, friends, is the Great Leader the media insists Americans everywhere pine and yearn for in these economically ruinous times of 5.1% unemployment and the most robust economy of the G8 by far.....so...... isn't that great leader already here?!
The media amnesia is not an accident or selective, it is what lets them get away with never permitting American to celebrate anything more poignant or real than a rehearsed "reunion" of military personnel at an NFL game, for which the Pentagon no doubt paid for.

He could walk on water and they'd still find fault.
Racism, plain and simple.

The witless twits of the GOP have no idea who they are matching wits with.
