I imagine people have gotten rid of theirs long since.

Allen West sounds like an Idiocrat.

We have several hummers in our city. One has a license plate that states "8 MPG". It gets a lot of thumbs down.

I can't believe West ever gets 15 mpg with that hummer with cartoon tires.

With the Democratic control Congress investigating gas prices and large profits of oil companies, gas prices came down. Maybe the election of Obama brought the gas prices down, who knows. Am I happy of high gas prices, no, but I see where having sanctions on Iran is a good thing. Do I think electing any of the Republicans currently running is going to bring down gas prices, no, but I also do not hold Obama responsible for the rise in gas prices.

Economists were projecting a possible depression. People were losing their jobs left and right. Even China was being affected. It was a pretty scary time, and all sorts of commodity prices fell around that time. They rapidly bounced back when Obama restored confidence that we weren't going to all be unemployed.

I swear the oil co's might just adopt this as a technique, though, have a 1 day 1/2 off sale every time a new Democrat is inaugurated President.

Subtle reminder that it has been this high (and quite a bit higher) before this spike. And oh ya, that was under Bush rule.

2004 to 2008 when the prices almost hit $5.00?

a 'stupid tax'.

the definition of irony?

Are you some anti capitalistic communist??

These profits will trickle down to us peons.

Or something like that... Nah not really.

It's the American way, Al!

My car holds a little over 60 liters and gas costs about €1.56 a liter.

In US terms, it gets about 24 miles to the gallon, and is almost ten years old.
If West wants to drive around in the civilian version of a Sherman Tank, I guess
it's his right, but he shouldn't be whining about the cost--he knew that when he
bought his abomination to begin with.
