Well, the gas prices have been good, but since Obama got elected our power went out for half a day on Wednesday, a lady from our church was in a wreck, the TV we bought on Ebay didn't work and the guy didn't want to refund my money, my moderator powers were accidentally taken away, I backed into a guy's truck in my van, a couple left our church, and I had a bad headache all day. So I think overall I think the impact Obama is making is pretty negative.

Well, no not really. The reason the prices are going down is b/c folks aren't driving as much and it's not in demand as much as it was in the summer. Sorry. :( It has nothing to do with Obama.

quote:

Falling gas prices are in part a reflection of decreased demand. The Department of Transportation said Friday that Americans drove 5.6 percent less in August 2008 compared to the same month a year ago. That means 15 billion fewer miles and the largest ever year-to-year decline recorded in a single month.

And those prices are continuing to drop. Stations in Cambridge posted $2.04 early Wednesday, according to MinnesotaGasPrices.com, with the state’s most expensive stations still under $3. The Associated Press reports costs as low as $1.94 in parts of Missouri over the weekend.


http://www.fergusfallsjournal.com/news/2008/oct/29/gas-prices-decreasing/

quote:

Oil Consumption. U.S. consumption of oil, which has fallen by about 1 million barrels per day (bbl/d) in 2008 relative to 2007, is expected to fall again by a smaller amount in 2009. In contrast to 2008, where skyrocketing prices drove consumption lower, the 2009 decline will be driven by reduced economic activity and will likely be mitigated by substantially lower average oil prices in 2009 compared to 2008.

Now, now rhippie, Obama himself said there is only one president at a time in this country and so far, it ain't him. It was thought that Obama made that statement at the press conferrence yesterday to distance himself from Bush and whatever "harm" might happen between now and Jan. 20.

So, getting back to what you said... rather than Obama... Bush still has an impact.

Considering the stock market has considered consistent 1000pt drop since Obama's election, I would have to say the main effect he is having on our economy is to terrify investors.

You know I was told by the media that an Obama win was baked into the stock market already. It appears that maybe it was not.

It's raining. I can't believe Obama would be so mean as to make it rain.

Hmm, did your state go to Obama or McCain? Ours went Obama, so maybe he likes us better than he likes you.

Our state went to Obama (it is actually required by the Minnesota constitution that our electoral votes go to a Democrat no matter what the popular vote) but where I live (which is the stronghold of th rebel alliance) is very conservative and voted for McCain (and Michelle Bachmann, yeah!) so we get the worst weather as a result of Obama's first executive order.

I think almost all the democrats won around here, so we are punished with only cold miserable rain.

Thankfully, our state not only went for McCain, but our state legislature kept a Republican majority (a slim majority, but, still a majority)...

with such a good state & local government, it just may soften the blow caused by at least SOME of the damage Obama inflicts on the rest of the country.

time will only tell.

Hmmm... maybe we should coin a new economic/political pejorative called, "Obamanomics!" *

*No differently than say, how some people (back in the 80's onward) feel about trickle down, Reaganomics!

Why do I get the feeling like Obama is going to try and take credit for falling gas prices?

Because, as soon as the economy breaks out of it's "down cycle", and starts to recover, be it in February....or next September.....he will be applauded as the person "responsible" for doing so....

and, will get the credit for the recovery and everything (totally disregarding the fact that a recovery will occur on it's own)....
