FOX news, you have to be kidding. First, GOP says gasoline prices are too high and it's the President's fault - NOT TRUE, fault of Wall Street petroleum speculators! Now, it's why cheap gas isn't good. Which one is it? Please leave the President alone with the gasoline price issue. You know he has no control over gas prices. Better yet, why don't you interview the Koch Bros., BP execs, ExxonMobil, etc., to get the REAL story (that they don't want to say to "we the people"). Thank you.
Where is this video? I got to find it.
Stuart Varney is the host of a business show?How could any one watch a buisness channel whose host does'nt know what the hell he is talking about?Can investors get the real picture of whats happening in the business world if they watch this idiot.Him and the rest of Fox hosts should should watch Bloomberg Business Network and find out what's really going on.FBN is as bad as CNBC insofar as being against middle class and for corporate greed. Varney,Kernen,Kudlow,Dobb's the corporate four musketeers.
Or Bloomberg is a good real source for info.
Mitt Romney and Faux - er, I man Fox news are both flip-floppers. Why didn't you all assault then-President Bush when it happened on his watch? Fox, just come out and speak the truth, that the whole bunch of you are lying racists so that we can move on from there...
So the demand for gas is down, and the point being that normally the price of gas always heads up this time of year due to the up swing in demand.
This means that fewer people are taking those nice drives on the weekend, driving to see relatives etc.
And that would indicate a slow down in the economy, and we are seeing that in the job's reports, the demand for durable goods, and the manufactures purchasing index, all down.
But leave to the leftwingnuts to run this one off the rails.
But that wasn't what you tea bagging republicans were saying 3 days ago now was it. See unlike you tea baggers we do not have selected memory failures.
Very clever of the President to say higher transportation costs are driving manufacturing jobs back to the USA! Looks again as if the GOP is playing checkers and the President chess!
Clever, even though it's a lie.
Oops, I meant Mitt!

Call it a lie than! Come on call me a liar will you!
Don't be confusing them with the truth and facts xxx ooo. And where the heck is MD at?
And when the prices were raising when the FOX news execs instructed the hosts to play at this gas prides are too high narrative as much as possible wouldn't that be an uptake in the economy.
So when prices are going up it indicates a war on oil. When they go down it's the economy. No that's you should be able to easy see that. For some it would appear the mind is a terrible thing to taste.
If there is indeed causality(for the slow pokes that means a direct connection, that one causes the other) with the prices of gas in the economy as you claim in their being down. Then it must work both ways. If when price are going down that is a sign of an economy going down then when an economy is going up then prices should follow. So righties is this an admission the economy was improving some.....remember though you guys don't believe that. Another example of the GOP's contradictory narratives. The right wants it both ways.
If you don't have a job it's because of obama's unemployment but you have no one to blame but yourself
Herman Cain says racism doesn't affect any one in a big way but Obama hates whites and is attacking them.
Afghanistan and Iraq were mistakes put ending them puts us in danger.
The economy is improving because republican policies but the economy isn't improving
Using the word "war" is uncivil and so the left should call the war on women something else but Obama has a war on marriage, all religions, oil, white people, christmas.......
We shouldn't criticize the judiciary but activist judges are ruining the country
The country is built on the constitution but the bible is the foundation of american law
Religion is good but islam is anti-american
MD should fly back on the 10th
MD for President!
Support his 30# PACK! He needs more liquid assets!
He needs it turn the trickle into a flowing stream!
xxx ooo - a direct quote from your link.
Either Obama is ignoring economists (which would mean he's lying) or he's speculating, which up to this point has resulted in nothing.
This sounds an awful lot like the promise of "fairness" from the Buffet Rule which everyone knows now was nothing but smoke and mirrors.
If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
Yet you eat the libertarian nonsense up and that too has been shown to be utter BS.
Well at least you categorized me correctly for once. Gotta give you props for that. Us Libertarians believe you liberals are full of nonsense and BS too, so I guess that makes us even.
"Many businesses would hire low cost workers overseas'. Hmmmm... Like an 80 yr old Chinese lady?
To that end, the administration has put together a far-ranging set of proposals: cutting taxes for manufacturers that produce goods in the United States, taking away tax breaks for businesses that move jobs offshore, doubling a tax deduction for makers of high-tech goods, providing support to businesses investing in areas where factories are closing, expanding worker training programs and creating a new task force to better enforce trade rules and intellectual property rights. Closing a loophole that allows companies to shift profits abroad would pay for the tax credits, the White House says.
Well lets see, we already voted on this proposal in the senate which the teabaggers filibustered. You people and your teabagger politicians are too pathetic. You whine about where the jobs are and then turn around and kill any plan to get jobs back from overseas. Get used to being the minority Chit, you're gonna be there awhile.
Katz also mentioned infrastructure jobs too, did he not? Well lets see, didn't the 'baggers filibuster that jobs bill also? All this obstruction and the president has still managed continuous job growth for 24 consecutive months. Think where we would be if the teabaggers had not used their agenda of intentionally tanking our economy for political gain.
"Teabaggers" that was funny the 1st time, okay the 2nd, by 3rd time it becomes disingenuous.
Over 12 million people out of work, over 40 million on food stamps.
All under the democrats watch.
In June the SCOUS will rule Obama Care unconstitutional.
Start packing yo' bag's obama.
John, your ranting post about "teabaggers" just shows how uninformed you are about the real tea party and their agenda. Republicans claim to be Tea Party but that's just a lie to get independent conservative votes.
You're making an attempt to insult me by calling me a teabagger but you're only embarrassing yourself because the Tea Party has nothing to do with the GOP's agenda.
The tea party stands for:
1. Reduced government spending. If you look at the GOP's spending you will see they don't really want to cut anything. They are more in line with liberals with regard to spending than they are with the Tea Party.
2. Cutting Taxes. The Tea Party believes that an individual should keep what they earn.
3. Reduction of the national debt and federal budget deficit. Again, the GOP talks about doing this but they have no viable solution to paying off our debts.
4. Adherence to an originalist interpretation of the US Constitution. The GOP doesn't share this ambition with the Tea Party, because in order for them to do so they'd have to change their agenda completely.
5. The Tea Party wants smaller government. The GOP claims they do too, but their actions suggest exactly the opposite.
As for Obama -
Obama wants to turn us into European Socialists. Have a look at the Declaration of Principles of the Party of European Socialists (PES) and you will see that Obama's agenda parallels this perfectly.
As for me being "the minority" for a long time, I don't think it's going to take very long at all for Obama and the Democrats to spend us into oblivion. If you look at the economic collapse of Europe and all the rioting going on it's pretty easy to see where we are headed. When we get there everyone will realize that the government does not have their best interests in mind, let alone the means to support them financially with safety nets.
Then John, it will be time for all the liberal parasites and their greedy Republican poser counterparts to move out of the way while the people who still believe in the founding principles of this country rebuild, if there's anything left.
Prepare, because things are going to get a lot worse, and in about five years you'll be thinking about the good old days of 2012, when unemployment was only 9 percent and gas was only 4.50/gal.
See chi that is the kind of stupidity that gets you into trouble, your selective memories. Taxation is paying the government for the services they provide. That you were told taxes were bad just shows the unthinking displayed by the conservative mind, here is a clue Reagan lied.
Here's a clue: You're welcome to have the last word in anything I say. I'm ignoring you.
I know in your narrow view the fact that I will no longer respond to your nonsense makes you right. You can do your victory dance now and kiss your own kulu in the mirror. You truly are a legend in your own mind.
I broke my rule of matching wits with an unarmed person long enough.
I hope you respond to this so I can not read it.
The teabggers stand for...
1. Cutting education, SS, medicare and medicaid (See the ryan budget plan)
2. More tax cuts for the top 2% (See Reaganomics), Failed
3. The deregulation of everything including wall street (See major recession of '08)
I hope you're not easily disappointed.
And Stupid? You morons named yourselves, deal with it.
Wrong the tea party likes to pretend it wants less spending really it wants less spending on welfare and education so we can put that money on national defense so their is no real reduce spending desire it a chant which they have not attempted to deliver on. Federal government has cut no spending because of the tea party.
Not if you're not rich. The tea party stands for trickle down economics. If you're rich you should keep more if no you don't pay enough. Urban legend as well.
No plans to trully do that slice all domestic education type programs spend more on defense no defecit reduction. The GOP and the tea party are one. That's like saying liberals are different from democrats.
Hardly the baggers mostly seem to want theocracy. Tea party favorites Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum and Rick Perry all revealed that this was what they to a large extent were about. If they have an originalist interpretation how does the gel with what's actually in the constitution. The tea party and the gop are one sorry to break that to you.
Like I said the tea party and the gop are one.
The baggers like to pretend they have a libertarian philosophy the vast majority do not. You may look at what they say but you ignore what they have done. Embaraced bills against union rights, womens health, sharia law. Smaller government.....yeah just small enough slip into a women's reproductive organs and make all the uterus related decisions for them, small enogh to slip into your ear and tell what is or is not moral. Small government what a laugh. The TEA PARTY IS THE GOP.
Maybe MItt will take credit for the lower gas prices! Gas prices are not LOW by any means and will stay high and just be a yo-yo with prices trending down for a short time and then going even higher is a misconception in this manner to desensitize the consumer to thinking they are getting a better deal and keep people from throwing a fit over high prices. Also 28% of natural gas is being flared (burned off) at drilling rigs 15% is what is allowed! So as you see the oil companies just want the cash cow OIL and are just discarding the natural gas and driving those prices higher too. We can very convert almost all autos into using natural gas and basically ending the money sucking dependence on gasoline and drive the prices down too. Its just plain ignorant of the president to let this take place and let the oil companies continue to rape us at the pump.

I have looked for a petition to implement CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and an end to unnecessary flaring of this precious non-renewable resource but will either find one or make one and send it to the Presidents website in "WE THE PEOPLE"
Natural Gas isn't the answer because it's still a fossil fuel being harvested without care of the environment or the people in the communities where fracking is taking place. Electric Vehicles are the answer and renewable energy is the answer. 30% of Germany's electricity comes from solar power and China has a mandate for renewable energy that far surpasses anything our government or large corporations are working towards:
We are living in another dark ages purpetuated by a government controlled by big corporations. The idea of deregulation sounds great except for companies have proved over and over again they're not interested in anything except for sucking our country dry of any money they can make.
Becky: Electric cars are not in most of the peoples price range and natural gas is used more and more in heating and in production of electricity and its much less the greenhouse gas then coal/oil/gasoline. Its a step in the right direction and can be done very easily,California has been using it in vehicles for some time now and has many stations to fill up. Check out this link!
http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/transportation/afvs/cng.html
But then this country isn't interested in getting off fossil fuel. I've tried getting financial help with an air motor we built back in the '70's and the DoE said it wasn't interested. It uses no gas or oil, synthetic oil only. No recharging, no refueling. I have contacted several agancies with "not interested" responces.
It can also be retro fitted to any use. Power generaters, existing vehicles of any size, trucks, etc.
Larry, You and I have spoken of this before, and we know it works! I can't wait myself, for the Republicans to steal the idea and claim credit for it. I mean after all, Nit Wit, Mitt is now taking credit for the comeback of "The Big Three" auto industry! Next thing we know Nit Wit Mitt will be taking credit for getting Bin Laden! Just Sayin'! Good to see you My Friend!!!!
Do you have the patent? If so how long? You sent some info but I would have a look but you don't want to reveal the workings as I think it could cause problems in getting a patent. Have you tried B.Gates or T.Turner? And do you have a working one now? Patents are only good for 7 years before they are no longer protected I believe.
Let me guess it uses the compressed air to move forward and re-compresses it to slow down/brake? Hum!

From this link you can see why there's a race to privatise water. I can see a time when filler up means a garden hose! Larry better hurry up with you idea!
Fresh water will be in high demand,can you imagine harvesting the South Pole for ice, and glaciers for a source!
I'll send a message to your page.
leave it to Fox Snooze to find something bad in somethng good....proves the point that they really are just fictional characters playing to a crowd that still believes that African Americans are a sub standard race incapable of leading, of all things, our country.....
wonder if they saw the super moon last weekend and blamed that on Obama as well..?
Newt missed his chance to get there. Oops!
It's interesting that they now say the price of gas is going down. It was going down here last week but I noticed today it's up over .10 a gal. Overnight. That is nothing but oil company manipulation.
http://www.oil-price.net/
Going down and I think it will continue to do so overall,I hope it would be a boost to all of the economy.
Gas is up a dime? A whole dime?
yep Mitt is responsible for gas prices going down. He also was able end WWII just by showing up. He also is responsible for the myan calender translation. and he painted the sistine chapel.
Parted the Red Sea too! Landed a man on the Moon invented the internet! He's a regular David Copperfield!
Any thing associated with Fox News, including those that watch it, are the real, true enemies of democracy. It is all blatant propaganda, trying to get the citizens of this country to believe what has already proven to be a system of government that does not work. Democracy has to be for ALL people not just a chosen few.I see Fox News being the equivalent to the old Soviet propaganda outlet PRAVDA. Never in my lifetime would I would see such blatant lies broadcast to a national audience, and most of all believed by a segment of the population. SCARY!
They no not what they do....AT ALL!
You nailed it. lol
sent you a message.
No, gas going down what talking lie will they spin now?
Fox News is always attacking and bashing Obama..The are always distorting.Fox news are willing to distort,slander and smear what-ever it takes to advance the conservative agenda..
And the MSLSD talking heads bash Bush (who hasn't been in office for over 3 years) bash all republicans, oil companies, CEO's and on and on and on.
It's the "War" on this the "War" on that...
Can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.
After all these years I'm still wondering if we didn't in fact lose the Iraq war, after all what did we gain from that war, nothing except for us to be in mourning, in financial dire straits, and with a dysfunctional political party that's about to wreck the values of this country, and all to prove what? So I gotta ask, who actually won that war, or maybe that's a question that should be asked 10 years from now, providing this country's government system can survive that long.
It's all about #MarriageEquality on #SocialNetworks today: check:
High gas prices are never good. Then again, I'm in California where it's been rising for the last week or two and is well over $4 a gallon again.
They should change their name to the Fox Comedy Network.
And MSNBC to MSLSD..
Have another glass of ed Kool-Aid.
Very clever of the President to say higher transportation costs are driving manufacturing jobs back to the USA! Looks again as if the GOP is playing checkers and the President chess!
Higher transportation costs drive the up cost of the goods and services you buy and use.
That means you will spend less on those goods and services, slowing down the economy.
Then companies start to lay off workers due to less demand.
Very simple economics, and obama can not even get that right.
Start packing obama.
"That means you will spend less on those goods and services, slowing down the economy."
The republicans blocked President Obama's jobs bills that would have not only created at least 3 millions jobs, but would have further boosted the economy.
"Start packing Obama"? Really? What are you smoking? Your screen name tells all about the level of your IQ.
That's right blame everyone but the man in charge.
How about we blame the teabaggers record number of filibusters? You simpletons want to blame everyone but the morons you put in office.
Mitch McConnell 'Nothing will pass this senate' 'Our goal is to make Obama a one term president'.
Yahoo MSN news: "There's just no getting rid of these guys. According to a budget proposal document from the General Services Administration, President George W. Bush is the most costly former commander-in-chief alive. He's asked for a comfy $1.3 million to get him through 2013 in the manner to which he has become accustomed, including $85,000 for phone calls!"
This is the good ole libertarian ideology: Take all the money you can and don't care about anyone else. This man took us into 2 wars unpaid for and created and implemented the prescription drug program unpaid for as well an now he needs more money from the American people.
So let me get this straight, you want him to take credit for gas being almost $5 a gallon which over double from when he took office? C'mon guys. Stop defending poor results.
