President Obama is inflicting cruel and unusual punishment to the republican candidates by creating false expectations that he will give them an issue they will be successful at attacking him on,the latest example is the price of gas, they are really grasping at straws right now since their only hope of defeating him was based on a deteriorating economy and that seems to be disappearing rapidly . It is not humane to have them running around like headless chicken jumping from one talking point to another every other week. Obviously the price of gas will be around three dollars more or less by the time the elections approach . How long is he planning to keep this up?Is it really necessary for him to humiliate them like this?
No, he just outsources the torture.

I think the President is the adult in the race and the best and brightest on republican side refused to live a lie. They know the President has delt with and is still dealing with a man-side JOB.
It relates because he actually is inflicting torture on people.
If you didn't read the article then you know zilch about what is going on!! At this very moment a British business man is on a plane to probably await -God knows what !! Read the article and tell everyone to read it ...
They seem to be humiliating themselves pretty well.....
