Slightly OT but in keeping with the topic of GOP, energy and delusional thinking

Michelle Bachmann Promises to Bring Gasoline Prices Down Below $2.00 per Gallon

[Link: www.newsmax.com…]

“The day that the president became president gasoline was $1.79 a gallon. Look at what it is today,” the Minnesota congresswoman said at a campaign event in Greenville, S.C. “Under President Bachmann, you will see gasoline come down below $2 a gallon again. That will happen.” The average national gas price is now $3.58 per gallon, according to AAA.

I note that Candidate Bachmann conveniently left out that the price of gas was over $4.00 per gallon six months before Obama took office.

The reason gas was $1.79 a gallon when Obama took office was because the economy was in freefall.

But “IT’S ALL OBAMA’S FAULT” plays so much better to the base.
