What are you doing your only supposed to mention high gas prices when it's a Republican President. On the flip side I love the lefts counter to this it was higher under Bush yeah for a time it was four dollars a gallon under Bush shortly before the 2008 election gas was well under two dollars a gallon it was $1.35 a gallon here. Gas prices went on a steady rise under Obama and has been near or above three dollars a gallon for his whole Presidency.So which is worse a spike at four a gallon then a dramatic drop under Bush or the consistent near or above three dollars under Obama?

In our area gasoline prices have risen over 40 cents per gallon since the week before Christmas.
A few issues...One, gas and oil prices are once again being forced against market fundamentals. That is oil and gasoline stocks are higher than normal for this time of year. Also, consumption rates have dropped from this time last year.
Commodities brokers and analysts are bullish on oil and gasoline.

Umm the market is near all time highs.
But of course gasoline commodity trading has nothing to do with inflating gas prices does it?

And the cheap gas in the end of the Bush admin was due to the recession.

In case you haven't noticed gas prices approaching record highs...

The record high average price is $4.11 which was in July of 2008...shortly before the economy crashed.

The average price for a gallon of gas has been between $3.25 and $3.90 for the last two and a half years. It's $3.56 now.

Your post is nothing but sensationalistic nonsense.

You know that.

I know that.

I suspect a majority of the posters who disegenuously attack the President over it know it too.....but they do it anyway.

Spread some fear with more truth in it next time.

true,after katrina gas prices sky rocketed ,and then Bush lifted the ban on off shore drilling and gas prices plummeted . gas was about $1.80 a gallon when Bush left office,and one of the dear leaders 1st actions in office was to reinstate the ban which helped cause fuel prices to soar during a economic downturn .

Petroleum products expensive, are they? Thank everyone with a V8 engine. It's gigantically over-sized American cars that are responsible. You can blame whomever else you like, the responsibility does not lie far away, but in the driveway.

This is bullshit, I follow the commodity markets and watch the data on offshore oil leases being auctioned. Let's see the data to prove what you claim!

Prove this lie, too!

sooo are you fucking trying to say gas prices did not sky rocket when Katrina hit ?? are you trying to say Bush did not lift the offshore ban?? are you trying to say gas was not under $2.00 a gallon at the end of his term ?? increase in supply affects the futures market dumb ass .

Gas was avg $1.84/gal. when Obama took office, so no it wasn't. It's $3.84 and rising where I live right now.

Interestingly enough, the oil and gas companies are posting record profits.

And........................some of the reason is because of taxpayer funded subsidies.

Wanna talk about wealth redristribution? If you're a middle class or poor person, the oil companies are screwing you at the pumps, and your duly elected representatives are screwing you by giving them money.

The fact that Bush left office with gas at $1.84/gal doesn't mean it wasn't higher earlier in his Presidency. The record high for gas prices was, in fact, during Bush's Presidency.

And how long did that record price last while Bush was President as opposed to the ongoing record prices we have seen for Obama's entire first term?
