2010 High Gas Prices? Where is the Media Outrage?
April 15th, 2010Once again gas prices are climbing near or above the $3 mark. Where is all the outrage? Water cooler, no outrage... check, pumping gas, no outrage... check, newspapers, media, congress-critters, no outrage... check. Hum, I wonder why... the silence???
If I recall when George W Bush was our president and prices were about the same, there was non-stop media coverage about the high gas prices. You couldn't pump gas without noticing others shaking their heads at the pump. You couldn't even tap the water cooler at the office without the subject of high gas prices coming up in conversation. Even our congress-critters where shown non-stop on TV demanding lower prices. So what is different this time?
The difference now is that the media is covering for our dear leader Obama. You see, dear leader gets a pass on everything from the liberal media including... yes high gas prices. That is the difference IMO.
