Wrong. Notice that the current situation is the lowest in 13 years. That takes us back to the middle of Bush's first term when oil was already on the rise due to Chinese and Indian economies expanding and increasing demand. Democrats were whining about oil gouging then, too. They were incensed that the price of gas reached $2.
By 2008, after Bush applied exec authority and congress ultimately caved on allowing offshore drilling, the price dropped dramatically. Then in steps obama and his green bullshit and reimplementation of offshore drilling restrictions and up went the price again.
Thanks to fracking, something obama couldn't stop, the price has dropped again.
I don't rely on propagandists for my info the way you obviously do. I just look at my own budget and pay attention to circumstances.
When you are making some bizarre statement that Obama's oil policies are cositng you $10,000, that's just plain fucking nuts.
I commute 50 miles a day, and I am spending maybe $20.00 a week on gasoline. If I were paying the $4.00 gallon rate, it would be maybe $40.00. So I spend maybe $1000 a year more. If that.
But you keep being a shill for big oil, just make sure they give you some vasoline, because they probably don't have the decency to give you a reach around.
