From that article:

How high fuel costs equate to ‘crimes’ I do not understand at all. Recent prices have not been caused by anything Barack Obama has done, and anyone who thinks they have is either misinformed or a chowderhead.

As for anti-idling laws, those are not the province of the federal government. The laws in question were not passed by Congress, nor does the federal government have the power to override them.

The free market and federalism: How do they work?

/facepalm

Whenever the free market does something the wingnuts hate, it’s “socialism” and the fault of the President.

I once saw a truck with tons of teabagger bumper stickers, including one that said “why the hell do I have to press 1 for English?”. I wanted to kindly explain to this gentleman how the free market works, and how companies want as many customers as possible, including Spanish-speaking ones. I’m sure the irony would have gone over his pin head.
