With the zany Chu dreaming about much higher prices and the phony president lying about pipelines and pimping for tire gauge sales, this lousy administration shouldn't have a chance for reelection.

...and the main stream media lets Obama get away with taking credit for new U.S. production.

At $3.50 per gallon it will cost $105 per month for me to drive a normal pattern not counting trips to visit family and friends out of town. At $4.00 per gallon I will spend $120 per month - 15 dollars more. For me that is one fewer tall no-whip Starbucks mochas per week. Four morning mochas instead of five per week and I'm just about even.

He should tell us how many Starbucks mochas he could buy if the price/gallon was still under $2...

Elgin, IL 40 miles west of Chicago today is $4.50/gal. Thanks to fuzz nutz.

I've been putting this sticker on gas pumps:

"Somehow we have to figure
out how to boost the price of
gasoline to the [$8-$10/gal]
levels in Europe." - Barack Obama's
Energy Secretary Steve Chu. Had enough yet???

I've sized mine to fit twelve to a sheet of bumper sticker stock...

Gas is NOT 4.25 on the west coast but $4.35 and even higher in some places for Regular. Way over that for the higher octane blends.

Zany Chu is NOT the problem - it is the combination of political andering for votes, the supporting media, and the environmentalists.

Since the “original” gas crises of the mid 1970’s (California regular was a dollar a gallon with even/odd purchase days) we have been told it will take 10 years to get more, and potentially cheaper, gasoline. “If I cann’t get credit for my next election/reelection bid I ain't going to do it” excuse has finally caught up with us; just like our debt problem.

BTW - in a sense Obama is right there is “no silver bullet” to bring down gas prices; there is nothing he can do to bring down gas prices before his reelection bid in November.

But then, again, that's the same excuse we have heard in the 1970’s, the 1980’s, the 1990’s, and the 2000’s. Its crash time folks and we have only the “professional politicians” and their supporting media to blame.
