Obama didn't get gas to $2.50, and there have actually been talks in the government about imposing a new tax to put gas prices back where they were. As for unemployment, he is currently trying to raise minimum wage, which would cause a disequilibrium between employees needed and employees one can afford. If we get a higher minimum wage, unemployment will rise, but those who don't get laid off will make more money.
It's so great to know all young people are not complete idiots. The comments section people here are paying attention yay! This president is bringing communism to our nation wrapped up in health care and education bows. The handouts are not free. That is all.
Seriously...commies? What's with you guys and commies? You do know its 2015 right? And why do you hate the idea of heath care for all? Where i'm from we have it and its amazing. They aren't handouts there basic and necessary standards of living. American's are so selfish. You can really judge a society on how they treat their poor and disadvantaged and you guys are just the worst. I mean what about all your war vets that are homeless or committing suicide because you don't have a health care system that provides help for them? Are the commies asking for a hand out? shame on you.
Shame on you for judging Americans based on a few bad apples, where are you from obviously not america why don't you come here and see for yourself, i'm sure you have a few bad apples where you are. Learn to ignore conspiracy theorists, and most people are for universal health care its a great idea we just can't agree on how to do it and we ain't doin' it right.
A few bad apples? Im judging you on voting to keep guns when children are dying in schools, your inability to give healthcare to your needy and sick, your attitude towards women's reproductive rights and wanton disregard for UN regulations. I know a governments decisions don't reflect a whole country, i know not everyone has the same beliefs but the majority of comments I see are from loosers like this guy above us. No Im not from America and im sorry, you're right not everyone feels like this looser but it seems to me that everytime you try to get yourselves sorted its these loud mouthed idiots who get what they want, to the detriment of the rest, I mean whos listening to these fools?
Based on your vernacular I'm assuming your English and I don't know if you know but guns are more than weapons to my corner of the states they are a culture and a way of life. Taking away guns from a Texan at least is like taking away your tea or taking a taco away from a Mexican or a Russians vodka, or make it illegal to be nice in Canada. My point is you don't live here so why freak out about our problems that don't concern you.
We want universal healthcare. The problem is, they're trying to make it so that we MUST provide it for ourselves, or else they will force us to and charge us for it. Meaning that people who don't necessarily see healthcare as a necessity are being coerced into paying for something that they do not value. If it was provided by the government, like it should be, we'd have no problem. But they're trying to charge us for it, whether we want it or not. As for guns, it has been shown in multiple cases that if somebody wants to kill, they'll find a way, with or without a gun. And if guns were illegalized, there would still be guns out there, like a black market. Killers would still get guns, the only difference would be that nobody else would have them to defend themselves with. Guns are also used for hunting, which is a great way of providing your family with food cost effectively and without raising the animal in horrible conditions to be eaten.
The part of our Constitution that gives us the "right to bear arms" is in place so that, in the event that our government gets out of control, the people will have means to fight back and fix the problem. It would be like resetting the government to how it was decades ago. That is the entire reason we were given that right. If guns were taken away, our government could grow more and more corrupt, like it is now, only we would be powerless to put an end to it because almost all weapons would be held BY the government. So, long story short, you should learn the nuances of the situation, rather than the general idea, before making preconceived assumptions and throwing insults about.
The government is shady. Bin Laden has been dead for years. We kept up in the Middle East for oil. This war has not been about capturing him. They are trying to deter Americans away from things that are TRULY happening, the birth certificate being one - an attack being yet another. Another attack would mean total war on the Middle East. Why not show America his dead body? Why the quick sea burial. It's all a farce and unfortunately, most Americans are falling hard for it. So many Americans are not intelligent and are completely ignorant.
On another note - let's play devil's advocate for a minute. Let's just say they did TRULY just get the guy. In the 10 years it took them to capture him, he trained many more to be JUST like him. So, even if they did just get him (for shits and giggles), it goes much, much deeper.
8% umemployment is not "Success", the real number is actually higher anyway. That statistic infers that it is ok for 1 in 13 able bodied adults to not be able to find a job, that is disgraceful.
Some things take effort. No, I'm not saying we should stop there and call it good, but steps in the right direction /are/ little successes. No, it's not the whole thing, and no that's not the end, but you can't just say someone is doing a /terrible job/ when they're moving in the right direction. It's not like Obama gets to say "here, everyone, have a job!" Unlike a monarchy, in our country, he has to okay these things with people, and other people have to approve what he does.
Breakdown of unemployment rate by year. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0104719.html. Now the reported unemployment rate is not a true representation. Once unemployment benefits expire you are removed from the rolls of unemployed, tens of thousands are not counted but are still unemployed. Besides the post credits Obama for lowering unemployment and fuel prices, two things he has not done.
There are 3.7 liters in one gallon, which would make gas in Canada $3.66 per gallon, and $0.69 per liter in the USA. But that's only if you go with mid-grade in the US. Regular unleaded is around $1.99 per gallon right now, which would come to $0.55 per liter.

Odd standard, I think...
"I'm not as bad add you so therefore I must be doing a pretty good job."
Seems legit.
