The net jobs loss in the last 3 years of Bush far exceeded the net job loss in the first 3 years of Obama. The last 2 years of Obama has seen the replacement of about 40% of the losses since the beginning of the recession in 2007. In fact we are approaching breakeven for the net loss / gain since Jan 20 2009.

Gas prices are approaching 2x what they were on Jan 20 2009

Both "sides" have an energy policy:
Repubs..."drill baby drill" period
Obama and Dems...Drill carefully and encourage development of alternative sources
The reason we have no national policy in place is because neither side in Congress is willing to give an inch because they have to keep the support of their nutcase bolitical bases. We should be drilling more and giving the same tax benefits to alternative energy including nuclear as we do oil. Now I know you are going to jump up and down about the pipeline...well you get the Nebraska Assembly (overwhelmingly Republican) enthusiastically on board and then let's talk.
