According to Reuters, "Americans angry with Obama over gas prices". Fucking morons. In more detail:
More than two-thirds of Americans disapprove of the way President Barack Obama is handling high gasoline prices, although most do not blame him for them, according to a Reuters/Ipsos online poll released on Tuesday.and
The most common reason cited by voters of all political stripes for the rising cost was oil company greed. Overall, 36 percent of respondents said "oil companies that want to make too much profit" deserve the most blame for higher energy prices. Twenty-eight percent of Republicans said so, as did 44 percent of Democrats and 32 percent of independents. Twenty-six percent of all respondents said a range of factors was equally to blame, including oil companies, politicians, foreign countries that dominate oil reserves and environmentalists who want to limit oil exploration.(Source)
These are the same (US-)Americans who are in love with fucking capitalism — why the fuck do none of them blame supply and demand?
- Demand: Stop using so much fucking oil, you motherfucking morons!
- Supply: Because, you know, the supply of the shit if finite!
They love capitalism, unless it makes shit expensive because the demand/supply ratio is too big, in which case they want the President of the USA to wave his magic wand and make it all better.
(And leave the fucking tar sands in the ground.)

Commenting might not work. You can try and see what happens, who knows, it might work. (It'll show a message “Your comment was published” if it worked.) If it didn't work, try hitting the “Post Comment” button again. Still didn't work? Hit it harder this time! (Seriously. It seems to work the third time, and then always after that, unless you clear some browsing data. I'm trying to fix it.)
