Most of the people had their hands up high like they were swearing in at court but you are right there were some people who had a heil-approved shoulder angle. I believe trump may have backed away from this behavior though a he realizes it looks bad.

What courts would those be? Never seen anyone raise their hands like that in the courts I have attended.

To be fair, he could have been referring to the Nuremburg Trials?

I couldn't help but notice that your signature tries to convince us that during Bush's term gas prices were sky high, while during Obama's term they are extremely low. Now this may sound like I'm being petty and going off topic, but I think it reflects the way facts are being processed by some people and presented in the complete opposite way than they should be. This is completely relevant where Trump, Clinton, or racism is concerned let alone the economy.

So LETS STOP THE MADDNESS!

Here are some quick facts:

In Bush's first 4 years, prices were around $1.5-2 a gallon.

Then they started creeping up, and reached about $3.5 in 2007.

In 2008 for a very short time before peaking, they reached $4.5 and then dropped back to under $2 by the end of 2008.

On the other hand, Obama got gas prices at under $2 in 2009, which then rose steadily into the end of 2011 to over $4, before peaking(predictably, I should say) and dropping to where they are today.

In other words, whoever prepared that silly thing captured the one moment where it was high for one and the one moment where it's low for another and tried to paint a picture which could not be further from the truth, but that is what some people are up to these days.

Now, in any case, neither presidents really have anything to do with the price of gas despite what they might have you believe.

Nice try though.

You speak truth, not only about the silliness of cherry picking numbers (I paid under a buck a gallon for a little while in late 2001), but the idea that the president somehow has substantial power over gas prices. No policy is responsible for oil going under $30 barrel recently, nor responsible for it going up 25% in the past month or so.
