The cost of gas was $1.84 just six days after President Obama's inauguration.

Obama was sworn in as president on January 20, 2009. In the week that ended on January 19, 2009, the weekly retail gasoline price in the U.S. was $1.90/gallon. In May 2011 retail gasoline prices averaged above $4/gallon for three straight weeks. The most recent retail price — for the week ending September 10, 2012 — was $3.91/gallon. So prices were more than double what they were when Obama was sworn in. So, regardless of how you manipulate numbers, one can say that gas prices did double during Obama's first term.

Yeah, I know...I just posted and suggested that she and others like her just start a thread and call it MINE IS BIGGER THAN YOURS and have a go at all that stupid comparing.
I think in the middle of a primary season, the Democrats would be out supporting Ms Clinton and suggesting why she is the candidate and allowing defense of her many character issues.
Instead we are bringing back items from 2012 and before, personally attacking each Republican candidate (and they ARE fair game on issues by the way).
Perhaps this is all there is to talk about.
They will not discuss for example a very interesting article in Reuters today where they discuss the "snap back".....meaning we have said we can "snap back" the sanctions at the wave of a hand if there is a violation.
What is being discussed is how difficult that will be as Russia, China and Europe rush to fill Iran with their business and enrich Iran.
But it seems much easier to do a search or simply look in the archives of the number of Democratic party sites and simply "flame" this and other forums.
