MrBabyMan sure loves to repost things right after other people. This is what is wrong with digg :/ - Lavarock, on 07/19/2008, -16/+381My mother was alive during the Clinton Administration, and now she's dead. What the ***** Bush/Cheney?
- WhiteRaven, on 07/19/2008, -45/+199What is sad is that there are people that think the presidency has *****-all to do with the price of anything.
- MasterTroll, on 07/19/2008, -6/+15789 cents... fap fap fap fap...
- RedHeadedFreak, on 07/19/2008, -25/+141Welcome to digg.com. Bush is responsible for everything.
- ryantiet, on 07/18/2008, -25/+127thats low balling it too. its $4.99 in some parts of LA for 91 octane
- inobla, on 07/19/2008, -3/+104You guys need better sarcasm detectors.
- theandyj, on 07/19/2008, -10/+109Dugg the orginal, buried mrbabymans. Done and done.
- bysin, on 07/19/2008, -9/+106I think the better contrast is...
The guy on top won a nobel peace prize, guy on bottom started 2 wars. - wtbuser, on 07/19/2008, -20/+116This is the dumbest comparison I've ever seen. Regardless of Bush, the Federal Reserve would still have inflated the currency, we still wouldn't be drilling in ANWR or offshore, and international demand would have increased.
- ctrl247, on 07/19/2008, -0/+67Wow, where the hell do I get gas for $4.03 !?
- BreatheRhetoric, on 07/19/2008, -7/+68The Clinton photo is from when he was first elected in 1992. The Bush one reflects the current gasoline price. If this was a fair comparison you'd see the price of gas when Bush was elected in 2000 or when they both left office.
- topherdavis, on 07/19/2008, -2/+61Instead of digging and sharing the original?
- m3mn0n, on 07/19/2008, -4/+63A human would have noticed that.
This is just more evidence that suggests what many believe to be true:
MrBabyMan is a cyborg-digg-submitting-drone. - ZenMojo, on 07/19/2008, -11/+64Because lowering the value of the dollar by running up 3 trillion extra dollars in debt and destabilizing an oil rich country after creating heads of executive agencies that give loopholes to energy speculators has absolutely nothing to do with the price of oil on the market. That's just something that happens.
Natch. - phyx726, on 07/19/2008, -1/+54Ooo, its the dollar menu.
- nesstheking1, on 07/19/2008, -5/+55If gore would have won the gas would be $10 a gallon, however that one gallon would power your car for a year and would emit a fresh pine scent.
- mmijatov, on 07/19/2008, -1/+41Bingo my friend and you've just revealed what makes the Digg community largely ***** . . . A few popular contributors can simply come in and "clean house" so to speak.
- duckley, on 07/19/2008, -11/+50ALSO
Clinton leaves $5 TRILLION SURPLUS
Bush leaves $4 TRILLION DEFICIT !
Bush $9T wasted into pockets of the Super-Rich.
YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN will have to pay this back. - Mononuclear, on 07/19/2008, -4/+41Didn't MrBabyman says he was going to leave after someone posted that cartoon making fun of him?
- allstarcac, on 07/19/2008, -10/+46its kinda vague to say that the gas prices are souly dependent on who is in office. theres a lot of other factors around the world that we have no affect on that change the price of oil
- masonexcell, on 07/19/2008, -56/+89This is stupid. If Gore was president the gas prices would still be the same. Remember in 2000 (before Clinton left office; also remeber all the talks he made with the saudis) when the price of gas started to sky rocket?
- Gonasadude, on 07/19/2008, -6/+39Buried as part of the Free Digg From BabyMan Tyranny Resistance
- visionaryIX, on 07/19/2008, -13/+45It might come as a surprise to some, but we can't blame everything on Bush.
- Andyschism, on 07/19/2008, -7/+34Dear Mr. Babyman,
This is twice within the same week you have done this. I am removing you from my list.
I will never digg another submission by you. Please take some time out of your day and learn how to use digg. If you see a duplicate, do not submit your story, digg and share the other one you have enough clout on here that it will make the frontpage.
Sincerely, Me. - inactive, on 07/19/2008, -12/+382 things, first the comment, then the pic.
Look, I've done my share of MBM-bashing but it's a fact that he brings more articles to other people's attentions. I might have completely missed this otherwise. I've read in that 1000+ diggs comment the other day about how he can just shout it up to revive it even after 24 hrs but honestly, who hasn't disabled shouts or ignore the 500 you get on a daily basis anyway?
MBM takes a lot of his content from Reddit and other users, but so does MakiMaki, TalSiach, MSaleem, Badwithcomputer, optimusprime1, pizzler, overmind[random numbers] but no one bashes them, not to this magnitude.
Everyone just likes to tear down #1 when really they're mad at the whole system. Same goes with this pic, why blame Bush when the economy is going down the crapper because his friends are raping America for all she's worth because of idiots voting him into office because no one wants to turn off American Idol, put down their iPhones and focus on ***** that matters. - loudnobnoxious, on 07/19/2008, -17/+42"The guy on top won a nobel peace prize..."
So did Yasser Arafat. - henrikakselsen, on 07/19/2008, -6/+31It's time for a cap on how many submissions that can be made in one day. Mrbabyman submits what, 50/day now?
That would be perfectly fine if it were original stuff, but it's only leeching of other posters and social networks (from what I can see).It kills the fun of Digg if the only things that matter is 'underground networks' to get things on the frontpage.
I dugg the original article instead: http://digg.com/political_opinion/Bush_Clinton_com ... - biotch, on 07/19/2008, -6/+31Actually if Gore were president, oil could be whatever price it wanted to be and we wouldnt give a crap cuz we'd of used the trillion dollars blown in Iraq to stimulate running on renewable energy.
- Paulish, on 07/19/2008, -3/+27Or more than one person.
- bjornski, on 07/19/2008, -7/+29Sorry. Not everyone has seen everything on the internet like you have.
- feoren, on 07/19/2008, -11/+32This clearly illustrates the failed economic policies of the Clinton administration. Under Clinton, premium-gas pumpers payed 27% more than those pumping standard gas. Bush has helped to close the socioeconomic gap in this country, with premium-gas pumpers now paying only 5% more than standard-pumpers! Go Bush!
- bjornski, on 07/19/2008, -2/+23Mr. Bush was critical of Al Gore in the 2000 campaign for being part of “the administration that's been in charge” while the “price of gasoline has gone steadily upward.” In December 1999, in the first Republican primary debate, Mr. Bush said President Clinton “must jawbone OPEC members to lower prices.”
Heck of a job, Georgie. - Alphabet, on 07/19/2008, -16/+35wtf? One of the main reasons why gas prices are high is because we invaded iraq.
If I was president, I can increase the price of oil easily. Just attack Iran, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia and voila, ***** expensive gas. - UnbiasedDigger, on 07/19/2008, -4/+22thank you. at least someone in here has some brains.
- xartion, on 07/19/2008, -2/+20please don't post a picture of 89 cent gas, it makes me cry :-(
- driftwood07, on 07/19/2008, -3/+21'Instead of digging and sharing the original?'
amen. - tatinthehat, on 07/19/2008, -1/+18Somehow the lack of sarcasm comprehension doesn't really surprise me anymore on digg.
- Thefatheroftime, on 07/19/2008, -1/+17Agreed! And done.
- RadioFreeOpium, on 07/19/2008, -5/+20And when money goes to the super rich, they hoard it, they don't return it to the economy like the rest of us
- Aikidi, on 07/19/2008, -1/+15dude your numbers are way off.
there was a 4 trillion debt with clinton, now a 9 trillion debt with bush
clinton had about a 400 billion budget surplus (different than trade deficit)
bush has a couple hundred billion budget deficit - AznAstronaut, on 07/19/2008, -10/+22As someone who hates Bush, this has got to be one of the stupidest comparisons ever. Buried.
- shondell, on 07/19/2008, -6/+18wow I'm surprised you aren't getting buried.
- Pusod, on 07/19/2008, -3/+14I want to cry.
- philberttheduck, on 07/19/2008, -0/+10(s) in flight. AFTERNOON DELIGHT
PEAWWWWWW.. WHOOOOOOOOOOOP - Rotzooi, on 07/18/2008, -14/+24Clearly, the Self-Serve part of the upper sign is more appropriate for Bush/Cheney.
- jman583, on 07/19/2008, -0/+10The states with the most people are Texas, Florida, California and New York.
- Mikey129, on 07/19/2008, -4/+14Buried, Repost.
- SolitarySoviet, on 07/19/2008, -2/+12what ever happened to babyman saying he was going to leave since people dont want him here? was that just to get ***** sympathy diggs too?
go to reddit thief... your undermining the whole process here. - Pusod, on 07/19/2008, -0/+10ahhh you have much to learn young skywalker. like, did you know that will smith was once a rapper and had his own tv show?
