This is how it works- low fuel prices is because of trump. High fuel prices is obamas fault. OK?

In a June 2008 interview, Obama remarked that he "would have preferred a gradual adjustment" to higher gas prices over time to encourage energy conservation and the shift to alternative fuels, rather than sudden painful spikes.

Political critics later twisted this quote to claim he wanted or welcomed high gas prices, eventually exaggerating figures like $5 a gallon as part of broader political attacks regarding energy policies.

I appreciate the comedy, and god bless content like this and daily show etc etc, but I mean this with the upmost respect . Can we please STOP wasting time interviewing MAGA. They’ll never learn. We won’t learn anything we haven’t known for years. It’s a good laugh but imagine the time and energy we can better spend actually going after the people in charge until they’re gone. Either we do that or we just end up in this cycle of hell we are in but get a chuckle once in awhile

My favourite is the Maga one where the guy claimed that Trump lets him get more gas in his tank, because it only used to take $50 worth of gas, but now he can fit in $150 worth of gas... thanks Obama

His mistake was the question, “what do you THINK about the high gas prices” these fuckers haven’t had a thought in years.

With rampant stupidity like this in the US, there is no hope. 40% of Americans are completely braindead. Mitch, too.

It's not stupidity. You heard him say "okay" as soon as he realized he wasn't talking to a supporter. At that point, it's performing stupidity and smugging about "liberals believe I'm acting like an idiot". Because all their jokes are 20-year-old re-heats from 4chan.

Obama said $5 gasoline was "not a national security threat" in 2008 while RUNNING for president, Asshole.

You can see the brainwashing, he's about to make that realization that Trump's dipshit war caused it, and immediately he backtracks and says, "It's not Trump's fault."

So Biden could control gas prices, but Trump can’t?!

This is why there's no reason to even entertain the thoughts of conservatives; they're not serious people and need to be simply ostracized from society at large.

American Democracy is Dead. might as well get used to it. The GOP has successfully brain-washed 74 million voters who have also been bible-brain-washed.

Obama was criticizing Dubya when he made the statement: "I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment. The fact that this is such a shock to American pocketbooks is not a good thing. But if we take some steps right now to help people make the adjustment, first of all by putting more money into their pockets, but also by encouraging the...(1/2)

Canadian contests require a mathematical skill testing question to comply with the Canadian Criminal Code, which bans giving away prizes through pure random chance.

Perhaps they should look at something similar for voting. To dumb to do the test, too dumb to vote.

Yeah that'll never happen, politicians live the dumb people. Even politicians that don't say that part out loud because they aren't dumb.

Nah. We've done it in the past and the questions were "easy" but intentionally convoluted enough that people would make mistakes. Of course, for white people you help them not make the mistake and for black people you let them make the mistake and oh no suddenly a bunch of black people can't pass the test.
