Bachmann Promises $2 Gas If Elected

I think that Michele Bachmann is confused about what the abilities and responsibilites of the President of the United States are. She seems to be treating this somewhat as a campaign you'd see in a public high school for class president. You know, where they make promises about candy machines they can't keep.

Now, she's promising that if she is elected president she will make sure that the gas prices at the pump are down to $2 again. This hasn't been seen since shortly after Obama was elected president. And there's a reason for that.

For one thing, no one world leader has control over this, and certainly not the President of the United States. It's not something that works that way. You'd have to slash the price of oil per barrel. And the only way to slash it like that would be for a global depression, not just a recession, but a global depression. Global.

So, essentially, Michele Bachmann (R-MN) just promised a bunch of people that if they elected her president, she would cause a global depression and bring down the price of gasoline at the pump. Well, I guess she could manage that...considering the way the borrowing system is set-up for the world. And, I would not be surprised for a red-hot second if her policies really would cause untold troubles not just for the US but for the global economy itself.

It's nice to see that she's decided to try honesty for a change. You heard her yourselves, folks. She promised a global depression if you put her in the White House.
