With gasoline prices once again approaching $3.00 per gallon, you’d think public outcry over the rise would be at a fevered pitch.
You’d think that politicians, pundits, and citizenry alike would be frothing at the mouth, claiming that the president is nothing more than a puppet for the middle east oil regimes.
You’d think that people would be in hysterics, accusing the president of sleeping with the oil industry and their lobbyists.
You’d think that.
The silent acceptance of the rising price of gasoline just goes to show another line in the list of double standards pertaining to coverage of and criticism which has been and continues to be levied at President Bush.
Just another example of the main stream media purposefully ignoring a politically volatile situation for The One. Bush was bludgeoned for rising gas prices while president, with charges of lining pockets of his “oil buddies” in the U.S. oil industry to exploiting media-driven phantom ties with the likes of the Saudi royal family.
Obviously…
I asked that once on this site. Since we only heard during the 8 years of Bush’s Presidency how the gas prices were consistently climbing, by the time he left office, the price should’ve been $7.00 a gallon. God knows they could never honestly report a decline in gas prices because it doesn’t dovetail with an increase in gas prices due to Bush being chummy wummy with big oil.
Mallow appropriately titled this article, “In the tank.” To me? It’s just a continuation of what we saw while the Great Onetm was actually running for the presidency.
