The true reason gas prices are declining..and it isn't being reported

[Synthaholic]

Yer kidding, right?
Has Obama opened up and federal lands to fracking? No.
If it were politically possible for Obama to get away with, he'd do whatever he could to stop fracking.
I also believe he is capable, again if politics permitted, he'd jack the federal gas tax up by at least a dollar per gallon.
Everything Obama does is measured for the potential of political fallout or to his political benefit.

He could do it anytime he wants with an Executive Order.

I swear, you get dumber by the day.

Too bad it isn't as low as it was when butthead took over the presidency.

It was only low because of the Bush Financial Crash, which sharply lowered demand.

Either you know this and you're just a dishonest piece of shit, or you're just a dumbass. I think you may be both.

What was the price on the day Lehman Brothers crashed?

Since you ARE a dishonest piece of shit, I'll answer it for you:

Lehman announced Chapter 11 on September 15, 2008.

Gas on September 15, 2008 was $3.84

Average gas prices September 15 2008

Since the economy never fully or even significantly rebounded from that time the price should have stayed low based upon that reasoning. It didn't. It went up for the same reason it dropped; supply side plans and restrictions.
Obama has kept the price high and hurt our economy as a result.

Name the action Obama took that has kept oil prices high.

Right. And...?

 

[hadit]

Yeah, unemployment is down to 5.9%, the stock market is at 16,986 and gas prices are finally under $3.00/gallon...The country is soooooo much worse off than 2009 when unemployment was 10% and the stock market was 6443.

Don't worry, Republicans are about to take over & piss off OPEC, destroy the US dollar, jobs & economy. They will hike payroll tax on workers to fund another wallstreet tax cut to destroy jobs in the USA.

Get back to us when that actually happens.

It happens every time they get power.

Evidence?

Let's get this straight. To prove that Republicans "piss off OPEC, destroy the US dollar, jobs & economy. They will hike payroll tax on workers to fund another wallstreet tax cut to destroy jobs in the USA" "every time they get power", you post an image of a single WSJ page? And you think OTHER people are stupid?

If you think that proves the claim, well, let's just say your bulb isn't as bright today as it should be.

[BullKurtz]

"America has become in the last several years an energy-producing powerhouse. And sorry, Mr. President, I’m not talking about the niche “green energy” sources you are so weirdly fixated with.
Oil prices are falling because of changes in world supply and world demand. Demand has slowed because Europe is an economic wreck. But since 2008 the U.S. has increased our domestic supply by a gigantic 50 percent. This is a result of the astounding shale oil and gas revolution made possible by made-in-America technologies like hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. Already thanks to these inventions, the U.S. has become the number one producer of natural gas. But oil production in states like Oklahoma, Texas and North Dakota has doubled in just six years."

"Without this energy blitz, the U.S. economy would barely have recovered from the recession of 2008-09. From the beginning of 2008 through the end of 2013 the oil and gas extraction industry created more than 100,000 jobs while the overall job market shrank by 970,000."

The True Reason Gas Prices are Falling Hint It s Not Because of Green Energy

Correct...OPEC did the same thing to Texans back in the early 80's when they were planning to build better cracking plants and refineries to handle heavier oil than light sweet crude. And it worked....they dropped their lift price so low that the Texans lost their venture capital. Then the Saudis pushed their price back up. All of this is fair in business. But what the Saudis aren't thinking about is when they must send tankers of crude half way around the world to get to us, our drillers are already here. My guess is they'll crack before we do this time. China's gluttony is waning because they can't continue floating their currency so that market has declined. And the russians pissed off and freaked out eastern europe enough in Ukraine for them to seek alternatives from us. As soon as the Kenyan queer is gone, we are going to BOOM from oil and NG exports.....we have more oil than anybody and we can swing that supply like a meat ax at the Saudis.

Like I said, it was for you and the other terminally stupid.

I shouldn't have to type too many words about the Bush Crash of 2008. We are still digging out from under it, with no help from Republicans.

Your idiotic claim was "every time they get power". I think your battery cable is corroded, you're not getting all the juice you need.

 

[Yurt]

And because the President and Congress haggled over the various issues of energy independence.

Any neo-con who all of sudden starts hailing "energy independence" as a plank of neo-conservatism is a liar.

yes, all praise to obama

sure thing mr. republican

obama has nothing to do with current gas prices...but i do note that when prices were high, you of course never gave obama credit for that mr. republican

Bush The Wiser left Clinton with a failed economy, which he saved, just as Obama has.
