Obamagas to drop below $2 a gallon nationwide

[kaz]

Obamagas is just one other thing the Republicans will try to overturn. Anything good for Americans is just not good for them.

Um...who has tried to raise gas prices other than Democrats? Take your head out of the kool-aid bowl

Democrats have no power to raise gas prices. Nor do Republicans. Nor do socialists, fascists, communists, anarchists, liberals, conservatives, Whigs, Tories, Greens, Reds, Blues, Purples, Know-Nothings or the entirely apolitical. It's determined in the international trading bazaar.

LOL, clueless as always. When Obama blocks drilling offshore and in Alaska and tries to block fracking those reduce supply and cause prices to go up. The obvious as always is way beyond you. Take an economics course, you'll learn about supply and demand curves in the first class

Obviously I know far more about the oil biz than you do. Might wanna sit this one out. When you're reduced to argumentum ad populum you're running on empty.

"Supply and demand"... sheesh.

As already noted, the whole point of this thread -- satire -- is completely over your head.

You are committing the logical fallacy referred to as you don't have a fucking clue. So you have no response to the points I take it. You know nothing about the oil industry or economics, that is the one thing you've made clear.

Obama has as a policy negatively affected supply. That means his policies drive up prices, not down. Obama is not the only factor, which is why they are going down, the downward pressure on price now is massive compared to Obama's upward pressure. But that does mean he gets no credit for a price fall he fought against

OK, simpleton, I'll dumb this down for you.

Yes, oil is an international commodity, the United States is part of the world. All oil we produce is part of global supply, all oil we consume is part of oil demand. The equation is not just us, but we are part of the equation.

By trying to block exploration, Obama is working to reduce oil supply. That means he's working to drive up oil prices. As a global calculation, there are many more stronger upward pressures on supply, which is why oil is plummeting anyway.

So it hasn't worked, but to credit him with falling prices when his actions have been to drive up prices is retarded.

If you have a cup and are dumping water out of your pool while a thunderstorm fills it far faster than you are taking it out, you didn't make much difference. But you don't get credit for filling the pool when your efforts were to empty it.

This is simple, logical, intuitive and based on pure basic economics. Admit it, it's still completely over your head, isn't it?

well this isnt true. Plenty of Republicans would like to raise taxes on gas. Utah is one example.

Regardless Obama has very little to do with as prices.

When Obama blocks exploration and development such as off shore, Alaska, fracking, Keystone, that clearly does affect oil prices. Again, if liberals would just take one economics class and grasp supply and demand curves it would change everything for you

when you have the shale boom in the midwest, OPEC continuing to pump out the same level of oil, when the world economy slows down and stops buying up oil, you have a crash in prices.

But sure we can say your retarded explanation is the key reason why oil and gas prices dropped over the winter. Its all the lefts fault.. Clearly you dont understand the issue. I'd go talk about something else you can blame the left on. Like turnips or something.

Drop in the bucket. OPEC is the biggest influence on global supply; if the world market price dips too low for their taste, they simply cut production; too high, they increase. Then they go to lunch. That's why the EIA -- during the Bush Administration -- estimated that the entire effect of opening both ANWR and OCS would be on the order of pocket change. It's like going to the ocean with an empty 55 gallon barrel thinking you're gonna make the ocean smaller. You're not.

So it hasn't worked, but to credit him with falling prices when his actions have been to drive up prices is retarded.

Again, it's called "satire". And it's tedious to have to essplain humor to an entity too dim to comprehend it but everybody already knows the position of POTUS doesn't have that kind of influence. Hence the satire. The butt isn't O'bama -- it's Romney. And I already gave you these clues but they continue to sail blithely over your head.

here you go my republ....errr.....libertarian friend

Higher gas prices The Republican plan to blame high gas prices on President Obama.

That doesn't answer the question. I asked what Obama's policy was that lead to lower gas prices. Criticizing the Republicans doesn't do that. What policy of his would cause lower prices since you credit him with gas prices? Or do you just admit it's the kool-aid talking?

You're not that bright. My link proves that REPUBLICANS (AKA- you) said that the President is responsible for gas prices.

Obama Boosts Fuel Economy Standards Despite Detroit's Woes

Walking a tightrope between keeping its environmental pledges and trying to help struggling U.S. automakers, the Obama administration announced today the first increase in fuel economy standards for cars in more than 25 years. But to the dismay of environmentalists, the new standard doesn't go as far as a proposal that the Bush administration offered in 2008 but quickly abandoned.

The move increases fuel economy standards for light vehicles in 2011 to 27.3 miles per gallon, or 8 percent over the 2010-model-year requirement. New cars will have to meet a standard of 30.2 miles per gallon. The standards will save 887 million gallons of fuel and reduce carbon emissions by 8.3 million metric tons, according to the Department of Transportation.​

World consumption, OPEC have more to do with oil prices. World consumption is up 5%, OPEC had dropped prices. Watch for prices to increase this summer to last year's levels. If you want Obama take credit for the low, then you must give him blame when it goes high this summer.

What does any of that have to do with what I posted, which you called, "bullshit?"

His policy had nothing to do with the prices falling, it is complete bullshit.

You must be an idiot then because only an idiot would believe that either raising fuel efficiency standards doesn't lower consumption or that lower consumption doesn't lower demand or that lower demand doesn't lower prices.

Which of those do you deny?

It helps us in not relying as much on world oil, however US consumption is down less than 2% in the last 5 years. That hardly influences prices.

The demand worldwide is up 5%, that will not lower costs.

A bigger influence is US production, and through fracking US production is at an all time high.

Again, OPEC and world consumption have more of an impact than fuel mileage. If world consumption is up 5% and US consumption is down 2%, which has more of an impact on world prices?

Thanks for the name calling, it lets me know how juvenile you are.

There are many factors contributing to fluctuations in oil consumption over the last five years. Including, but not limited to, population growth and coming out of a major recession. After weighing those, the decrease due to fuel efficiency standards is more than the 2% total shift in consumption.

 

[Vigilante]

Up $.40 a gal in the last 2 weeks! Almost a 20% rise from the low!

To clarify your nonsense, Obama did not block offshore drilling with the intent of driving prices up, nor did he block it permanently. He blocked offshore drilling in response to one of, if not thee worst, offshore oil rig disasters of all time when the Deepwater Horizon blew up and sank. Following that disaster, he enforced a moratorium on deep water drilling while an investigation was underway to ensure the safety of other such rigs. Just prior the Deepwater Horizon accident, Obama opened up many areas for offshore drilling ...
