Im thinking about rocking a scooter this summer. I live in a college town so when all the students go back home from UGA I can probably get a 50cc scooter for around 300 bucks. Ill get about 75mpg at around 30-40mph. Also dont have to have a tag or insurance. I can save the car for longer trips and use the moped to go to restaurants and to my job. Yes, a real bike would be better, but I cant afford a bike payment and another insurance payment.

PLEASE dont flush that liberal non sense down my throat. You my friend need to become educated. My blood started to boil as soon as you asked me if i was a racist. (typical liberal democratic bullshit) I could sit here for hours and explain to how your reasoning is wrong and liberalism is a cancer in america and YOU are responsible for most to all of the terrible things that have happened in this country. As soon as we call you out you call us a racist. You people blamed bush for years for your own ****-ups. I am not a racist. I am a hard working american, a combat veteran and full- time college student, and yes i drive an f-body.
I bet you didnt know that if it was not for liberalism Adolf Hitler would of never came to power after the first world war and the Second world war would of never happen. If you knew anything about history. I could sit here for hours and hours and hours, however i wouldnt be nearly that effective typing all of my points. I recommend you pick up a history book my friend.

Also Obama has spent more money in the first year of his term than GWB spent in all 8. Thats a fact.

$3.89 for 91 here in Philadelphia, Pa.
Obama got handed a country that was already in the **** hole. If ppl can see that then I dont know where the hell yall been.
He's trying to win a 1/4 mile race that's already lost.
It will take more than 2 Obama terms to fix this country.

you have ruined my night lol. I would love to be able to sit down with you and talk.
even the simple socialist programs obama stood for. Cash for clunkers= giving people something that they couldnt afford to begin with. Sound like something that happen in 2008? Dont blame bush for the housing market. Blame people/banks. You have forgotten about personnel responsibility. That is why i still drive an F-body. Because thats what i can afford. He is driving our country into the ground. As bad as bush was, he NEVER brought our country to the brink of a shut down. Allowing our soliders (even the ones in Iraq) and there families to skip a paycheck with all the other hundreds of goverment programs (that you have created) still in operation including welfare. Is this something you stand for? Or is this also Bush's fault?

As for the oil. Thats a strange thing. You know what BP stands for? im sure you do. It stands for British petro. Why is the brits in our Gulf drilling our oil and selling it to us?? Did you know that two months before the spill obama signed a bill for the United States to become dependent on our own resources? than the the spill magically happened, guess who is the boss still drilling in the gulf today? BP

You have allowed this to happen. Before when you started to stick your hands in our pocket. John D rockefeller, had an "Evil" monopoly on american oil (united Oil). Gas was the cheapest commodity. We had our big american cars and we were happy.

And for the 60s generation, were the possibly the worst thing that has ever happen to our country. The great generation, our grandfathers who fought WW2 were truly great Americans and our greatest generation. Their children, the baby boomers ruined this country. Now that all those people have reached there retirement never planned for everything are sucking our Social Security dry. Thats your money!(but thats a whole different topic i would love to educate you on) And how they would "express themselves" by taking drugs and having sex in pubic in wood stock 1969. They have taking god out of our society (filled with what??), washed down our school system so everyone is a winner. You are now starting to see the results of those children and what that generation has done to us. Strict Conservative countries like Japan are taking the lead in technology, car manufacturing and of course education. Asians are smart right? lol. However, your Socialist countries in Europe with your "free" healthcare have 8.00 gallon gas and 14 percent unemployment in france. Sounds like a good deal to me. You liberals kill our unborn (because you have taught our teenagers to act like ******), you WANT to kill our elderly and now you want to kill off our disabled and make doctor-assisted suicide legal. What kind of america do you want?? Sounds like Adolf Hilters "useless eaters" of **** Germany. way to go Lib.

I was not born in the 1950s but i wish i was. It was a better america. (with the exception of racism and women's rights). you have pissed and **** all over this country in the last 60 years. I could go on and on and on. Quit blaming bush and accusing me of being a racist.

conservatives are the reason that jobs are going over seas??

That has to be the most ignorant thing i have ever heard. That one statement just shows me how little you know. That is like saying the sky is red and honestly trying to convince me of it. Really it is wrong is every singe way possible and failure on your behalf. Read a book. Don't listen to the media please. I dont even think that the liberal media would say such a stupid thing. Were did this idea come from?
Please tell me more.

We have what ~20 Billion barrels of Oil in the reserves in our own country?

Like truly how long would it take to go through all that? We are in 2011 and still nothing in sight of something to take over crude oil? sounds fishy to me Politicians and stuff have money invested in such things as oil and they make money off of raised gas prices they don't give 2 ***** about what this country is going to as long as they are okay then its okay to them.

This will be the first time i get to vote for anything in the upcoming election.

One last thing

If you don't vote...........THEN STFU

And another thing. If you really really think that the economy is Bushs fault thats fine. Than i get to blame Clinton for allowing Terrorism to grow in the middle east all thru the 1990s and bring down our Twin towers and kill all those innocent Americans. I will take the economy any day.

no if you dont agree with obama you get called a racist by Libs. lol. It happens all the time!
I honestly dont know what happen with that. (Not gonna pretend i know all about it)lol. However it seems kinda foolish that someone could pull that off in 2000. I dont know. Of course maybe 60-70 years ago. no one is perfect especially bush.

I thinks it's possible. His brother was the govenor or something of the questioned state.

Im not saying that Obama is going to save the day but I do believe that he is trying to make solutions for problems that were on the way before
he got here.

And that BP spill made him look bad and that wasn't even his fault. Him wanting to drill here would helped the economy in many different ways. I'm sure that we all can agree with that.

The spill was not his fault at all. I was saying that about BP and how they need to leave. But it will never happen. to much money involved and to many ignorant people. Obama is not helping this country at all. Or even trying to fix it. He is running it into the ground. Massive spending?? Thats the last thing we need. Is that something you would do while you were in Debt? Its basic stuff. We almost had a complete government shut down last week. It seems we are moving in the opposite direction. And its only gonna get worse with taxes and more spending.

It is a proven fast you CAN NOT buy yourself out of debt!

Obama is a typical Dem... Big Government and out of control spending!

GWB was not nearly as bad as many people try to make him out to be.. he had a lot of crap thrown in his lap too do some research about the housing market crash and you will see... The bubble started long before GB took office...

Lets just pray to god that Obama is only a 1 term president!

U guys r not seeing what the man is trying to do for the future. He has to make hard decisions now for the future.
What else can the man do?
I dont see anybody saying thanx for all the jobs he saved for all the car manufacturers.
He just became president for crying outloud. He cannot fix things overnight. Is that what u guys r looking for? Well sorry, its not going to happen. How could u blame him for the economy when the economy started going south way before he even became president.
He's only going to be able to get the country going down the right track as far as I am conserned.

I think 93 was at 3.95 at the local sunoco btw.

Keep blamin Obama.
I'm goin to bed.
I dont think u guys r racist.
I think that the racist r the ones that say "black ppl voted for Obama bcuz he's black".
Not saying that it's not true but we all know that there r plenty of other ppl that didnt vote for him bcuz he is part black. That is fact.
I sure hope gas goes back down.

he was a senator before he became president. He did vote on laws and public spending... just saying.

Nafta and Cafta really screwed the american worker... thank you pres Clinton!!

Sorry, but when he is the front runner on the health care bill and the dem passed it with most of the country telling them not to and they said they were going to anyway because they know best, that makes me a little angry.

Hey was bush great? no Was he good? not really, But he was handed the country in a terrible state as well.

Should we have gone into Iraq? humm... IDK but OUR congress voted to do so. giving him permission to do so... we have to blame ourselves also.

The $4 gallon of gas did destroy our economy, but us going into a recession didn't MAKE the gas prices drop, us not buying as much fuel did.

$4 a gallon makes you/me/everyone else not want to go to the store and buy goods/services. That is what did us in.

should we have done the bailouts? heck no.. let them go into bankruptcy like every other business would have to in this country.

BTW its $3.7* a gallon for reg here. and like $4.0* a gallon for prem.

Gas will easily hit $5 by the end of summer. Want someone to blame? Here is a list:

Goldman Sachs
Morgan Stanley
Citi Group

These 3 companies are responsible for $45 of the $107 it is now. Speculation has driven oil, and not to mention other commodities, through the roof. Foreign companies are buying oil in our market because the dollar is cheap and they can get more ‘bang for their buck’. These three companies are acting as middle men. Futures pricing is at a all time high on wall street because they have collapsed the financial sector and need to make up the difference. So our commodities are next on the list.

This isn’t a con vs. lib argument. It’s big business vs. the people arguement.
