I am praying that Obama and his bands of thugs and henchmen are obliterated in November. I despise all that the man does and stands for.

But honestly, what can a sitting president--or a man who is not much of a president--do directly about gasoline prices?

I ask this question in various forums and venues, and I can't get an answer from some conservatives and Republicans who I think are pretty smart.

Like most anything else NOTHING.

However if gas went from 1.85 in 08 to .85 today, it would be tolled from the highest mountains about how “HE” was the cause of it.
(Admittedly both parties work the same way, take 100% credit for the good and run away from the bad).

Since ‘they’ have the media on their side, it is up to us to spread the word about the shortcomings etc.

A real President, not a communist agenda stooge, can do a lot.

What we could have...





What we can't touch according to our "government."




Now, this is a gas map but oil and gas usually trend in the same areas...




So, the Great and magnanimous jug ears has graciously granted some minor concessions with his "new" plan that "opens" offshore exploration and drilling with this...



Look at the shale gas map and the "new plan" from jug ears.

Notice the 800 pound gorilla in the room?

That newly opened area in yellow? There appears to be nothing there.

But hey, little bammy hussein the magnificent, mr. "you’ll love me even more," has, in his omnipresent wisdom, allowed the oil and gas companies to drill all the dry holes they like.

Whoop. Tee. Do.



And what would that do for gas prices?

July 14, 2008. Bush lifts executive ban on offshore oil drilling and...



Note the date where the price breaks and begins to normalize. July 17, 2008.

Two days after the announcement to lift the executive ban.

Two days.

That is what a REAL President can do.

A sitting president (if we had one) could call off the EPA dogs from the oil exploration and drilling activities, and reopen federal lands for exploration and drilling leases and permits.

Almost all new drilling permits during Obama's term have been on private land.
