Failitician must be in competition with ShitInMySpeedos for stupidest threads.
Presidents don't have an influence on gas prices, dumbass.
Yeah you guys say that but when Bush was office they blamed him for gas prices ALL the time .. Including those in Washington AND!!! INCLUDING OBAMA
Capping prices through some central mandate negatively affects supply and demand. This has been tried and always fails.
You mean illegal collusion? The oil companies? Say it ain't so.....
Hint: There is no such thing as supply and demand in monopolies.
If there were one oil company I would agree. There are hundreds.

Yes and no......Market forces are far more influential. However, the sitting president's energy policy is significant as well.
And this president's energy policy is adversarial to fossil fuels.
Gas prices are where they are because you the consumer are willing to pay those prices.
Why would prices be lowered if the sellers can get what they're charging now?

Read that part a few times you stupid fucking rethugs.
Why would an oil company sell their product for less than the market will bear? Especially when the market is rewarding the oil companies with record or near record profits.
There is not a republican on here smart enough to figure that out. It just feels so good to blame Obama they can't help themselves.
Repubs like to claim they are the party that understands how business works. LMAO. Repub idiots about business is what we have on here.
"Sell me gasoline for less cause I want you to." That's what passes for Repubs business strategy.

I am a Conservative. I don't stand with the abuses of the Stock Markets that used Shadow Trading to drive these prices through the roof. Until 2000, they were regulated after that they were SELF REGULATED in the OTC'S Market places.
This allowed the banks to Trade Commodities to the next Universe. Causing higher prices on virtually everything on the Globe. Which led to the crash of 2008.
The Feds then allowed a BAIL OUT FROM HELL to cover the Markets, which included 16.1 TRILLION to those that crashed the economy at the Feds discount window. It was never about TARP.
Thus propping up an inflated Market with FIAT CURRENCY. In doing so they brought back the higher prices to keep the system afloat.
They then used QE's to sustain it. The cost now at 4 TRILLION DOLLARS. Add in the 16.1 TRILLION from the Federal Reserve and TARP we have put 21 TRILLION DOLLARS INTO THE SYSTEM.
The OTC's of the crash were propped back up. Nothing more and nothing less and many of the prices went back up as a result. And the economy still sucks if you look at the Job Participation Rate from the Labor Dept...........
One quick point. For all my life Diesel was only a 10 cent difference on cost. Now it is much higher than regular gasoline costs. Does anyone else see this as price manipulation.
BTW. I work at a Refinery. Hell I just installed a Diesel Analyzer system there. For all the Diesel coming out of the refinery........The cost or way of making the product HASN'T CHANGED. So why now is it that it costs WAY MORE than in the past.
This to me is MARKET RIGGING................And it CAN'T BE DONE WITHOUT the GOV'T ALLOWING IT............But of course the Dodd Frank Bill was supposed to stop this RIGHT......................
It appears that the FIAT CURRENCY EATING MONSTER HAS RETURNED..........

Over the past six years crude oil, gasoline, and natural gas prices have risen significantly.
Crude oil has risen from a range of $25-$30 per barrel in 2000, to a range of $60-$75 per barrel
in 2006. High crude oil prices are a major reason for the record or near-record highs of the
prices of a variety of petroleum products, including gasoline, heating oil, diesel fuel, and jet fuel.
The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline has jumped from $1.46 per gallon in
2000 to $2.36 per gallon over the past 12 months, with peaks at $3.14 per gallon in September
2005, and $2.93 per gallon in May 2006. Rising crude oil prices have helped push up natural gas
prices as well: the price of natural gas has risen from $2-$3 per million BTU (British Thermal
Unit) in 2000 to a typical range of $6-$8 per million BTU during the past year.

Meltdown 2008 Timeline
If you fully understand what and how it happened, you won't be a conservative anymore.
Food & Gas Prices are soaring. So tell me again how the Dear Leader is saving the World?
Memorial Day weekend drivers will continue to take a hit as gasoline prices remain high.
May 20 marks the 1,245th straight day that the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline costs more than $3 a gallon, according to AAA data. That's nearly three-and-a-half years above $3 a gallon.
USA Today reported last September that, for the first time ever, gas prices had been higher than $3 a gallon for 1,000 consecutive days - beginning Dec. 23, 2010, through Sept. 17, 2013. Unfortunately, that awful record streak of sustained highs has not been broken. Gas prices dipped in the fall, down to $3.179 (Nov. 12), but surged again.
The national average on May 20, 2014, for regular gas was $3.642 a gallon, slightly less than the $3.653 a gallon average one year earlier.
On May 18, USA Today turned to the issue of gas prices again writing that "rumors about the demise of U.S. gasoline demand have been greatly exaggerated." Javier E. David of CNBC wrote for USA Today that international factors were keeping prices high and "defied the gravitational pull" of factors "that should blunt demand."
AAA's Memorial Day forecast predicted 31.8 million people will be driving over the holiday and that gas prices will be "relatively similar" to where they were Memorial Day 2013.
ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news shows haven't spent much time on gas prices, lately. A Nexis search yielded only 11 stories mentioning what was going on with gas prices in the past three months.

I know a lot more than you think about it. I've posted many articles on this issue. I've attacked both parties over the issue as both ABETTED in the Crime.............
The Commodities Futures Modernization ACT in 2000 allowed the system to go completely Self Governed by the Bankers and Wall Street. They went hog wild, and raised the prices of everything. Increases in Agriculture trading went up 2300% alone.
The OTC's went postal and the rest is history.

Stuff it, Paul.
Apparently you missed the hundreds of memos: It's not the President's fault if gas prices go up.
Of course you totally failed to give him credit when prices dropped, so maybe you did get the memos but like being dishonest and spreading brainless propaganda.
BTW, gas prices ALWAYS increase around holidays. Supply and demand or something like that.

No just reasonable gasoline. And his administration is claiming we are about to become the largest oil and natural gas producer in the world. So yes, If he is making the claim he does have something to do with it.

All parties are involved. They knew damn well what was happening and ignored the consequences...............
And now, they have propped the rigged system back up to only see it fail in the not so distant future...........
Gramm's wife was given a job at Enron as a reward to create that loop hole........And commodity Futures Trading increased by over 2000% in some areas............
