<title>KOMO - Seattle, WA : Average gas price drops below $4 | Local &amp; Regional | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Breaking News |</title>
<link>http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Average-gas-price-drops-below-4-159419625.html?clmob=y#IDComment385096859</link>
<description>Yeah deleted the post because obviously it wasn&amp;#039;t the information I wanted to quote, for which I also apologized for.  I agree Obama hasn&amp;#039;t necessarily held up to his promises and don&amp;#039;t even get me started on the retarded Health Plan he tried to shove down our throats in the name of history, GAG!!  You have to admit though that he has probably had the most embattled senate and congress stopping him from doing anything productive, except for help him push through the Health Plan by instead of fixing it just adding in their parties needs to the piece of crap bill.  The &amp;quot;you people&amp;quot; i was referencing was to those who blame Obama for gas prices, that I still believe to be Capt. Floppy Ears problem that was started long before Obama took office and do you think the republicans will side with him to cut their tax breaks or re-regulate the oil industry?  Hell no they won&amp;#039;t so you can&amp;#039;t blame him.  Unless you have other info that I am missing, I don&amp;#039;t claim to have all the answers or info as that would be impossible.  Is it so hard to believe that a guy who failed several oil businesses before taking office would make it much easier for all his rich friends with oil companies to rake in the cash, maybe payback for running his companies into the ground?  Just pure speculation but probably not to far from the truth with all the information that is out there about it.  I&amp;#039;m only in my mid 30&amp;#039;s so I didn&amp;#039;t get to experience the Carter bomb, my personal least favorite would be Bush Jr. just too fresh to forget. </description>

<title>KOMO - Seattle, WA : Microsoft tablet risks Surface tension among PC makers | Technology | Seattle News, Weather, Sports,</title>
<link>http://www.komonews.com/news/tech/Microsoft-tablet-risks-Surface-tension-among-PC-makers-159640615.html?clmob=y#IDComment385088138</link>
<description>I think the major issue that spawned this movement is most non apple tablets on the market are droid based.  I think it is a good move by Microsoft to build this from the ground up so that manufacturers have a base design to work with the new Windows 8 OS.  Your phones/tablets are going to be the baseline hardware for computing in the future, walk into the office, set your tablet/phone on a docking station and have monitor and keyboard to work with at that point.  Check out &amp;quot;A day made of glass pt 1 &amp;amp; 2&amp;quot; from Corning on YouTube if you like geeky futuristic technology! </description>

<description>My bad, posted Nov. 09 stats instead of Nov. 08 stats.  The Bureau of Labor Statistics avg gas prices during the term of Bush is quite interesting.  And since it is a govt. site I am quoting this time am I still being fed by mainstream media?  That and not sure how quoting statistical data is &amp;quot;mainstream media&amp;quot; anyways but I guess that can be conversation that can be saved for another time.  &lt;a href=&quot;http:\/\/data.bls.gov\/pdq\/SurveyOutputServlet&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOutputServlet&lt;/a&gt;  Jan2000 1.356, Jan2004 1.635, Jan2008 3.096, and wow right around the elections,  Oct2008 3.225 then Nov2008 2.208 by the end of the year Dec2008 it was back down to 1.742.  Also gas avg went over 4 bucks a gallon on Jun2008 4.115 and Jul2008 4.142 and that avg never went over 4 bucks a gallon once (yet, not saying it won&amp;#039;t but just stating facts here) during Obama&amp;#039;s term.  The other thing is only the Gas companies know why the price is as high as it is, they will tell you supply and demand and when that isn&amp;#039;t the case it is about the price of a barrel of oil.  Their story changes more than the heads of office.  I tell you one thing, they are adding snake oil into the mix on a consistent basis and the only people who will argue for big oil are stockholders and employees, everyone else thinks you people are greedy F#&amp;amp;$.  And those that blame Obama for having to ride out Bush&amp;#039;s aftermath, fine, but you are either really short sighted or stupid. </description>

<description>I&amp;#039;m pretty sure that collusion is what everyone is claiming is going on.  Having stock in such wonderful companies definitely makes it ok doesn&amp;#039;t it?  Just as long as you are getting your share of the blood money! </description>

<description>This is such a catalyst to our nations economy and national security, it needs to be regulated.  As much as electricity, water and communications.  Speculators are cashing in on this and shouldn&amp;#039;t even be in the loop as far as I&amp;#039;m concerned.  Thanks for deregulating this Bush and thanks for not re-regulating this Obama.  All politicians are getting paid off apparently.  And the congress and senate are way worse than our presidents when it comes to this so let&amp;#039;s not forget to thank them too! </description>

<link>http://www.komonews.com/news/consumer/Pew-Bank-overdraft-policies--158246465.html#IDComment383915775</link>
<description>Why should anyone be held responsible when it comes to banks?  They didn&amp;#039;t have to be.  They allowed the sub-prime crisis to happen, go ahead and blame the consumers when the banks knew all along what they were doing and when they screwed up Uncle Sam just paid them back their money.  I want the banks to pay back my fees, and not the fees I deserved but the fees they constructed and manipulated my account to get.  I have no problem paying a fee I deserve, but that is where I differ from the banks, I have morals. </description>

<description>You must be a banker too.  The only people who would dare back up banks policies which are set intentionally to rape the poor.  Which is what this article is about and which you can&amp;#039;t seem to comment about.  Take your off topic posts and shove em where you know they should go! </description>

<description>Gimme some money so I don&amp;#039;t have to!  Internet is one of the bills I have to pay yes, and cell, yes both of which are necessities in this world.  Luxuries??  Really?  The article isn&amp;#039;t about people&amp;#039;s spending though.  It is about the banks BS and purposely confusing policies on overdrafts that allows them to prey on their customers like the immoral buzzards they are.  You have any comments about what the article is about instead of defending the money hoarding giants with your ignorant and off topic posts? </description>
