The current surge in gas prices is not due to crude oil supply or prices. It is due to refinery supply as refineries shift from winter formula to summer formula.

The funny thing is that of the 40 some odd formulas imposed by the EPA on specific local areas, there is no scientfic rhyme or reason to any of them. The approved formula is driven by political and bureaucratic decisions, not science.

The EPA could, with a straight face, say “Any of the approved formulas can be used anywhere until unemployment hits 4%” and the price would drop over 30 cents a gallon immediately and probably over 40 cents a gallon mid-term.

What an Idiot. Does he not understand that higher gas prices at the pump effect just about everything we buy?

We need to impeach Obama before he makes us all destitute.

What good is gun ownership if an administration can treat the American public like this and get away with it? “Put up with it and stop complaining’’ Oh yeah? Keep it up Barry. Keep this shit up and see how long you last.

Satire aside, I’m willing to pay a few more bucks at the pump if it means retiring Obama.

This guy is sounding more and more like Jimmy Carter in the 70s.

Carter’s attempt to get Americans to live with fuel shortages, gas lines, and higher energy costs, led to his defeat in 1980. It was losing tactic then, and it’s even more-so, now.

The fact that Obama is now doing precisely the same thing as Carter did, is proof positive that liberals never learn from history.

As inflation causes America to flounder economically, so does the financial stability of the rest of the world. If we are buying less sweaters from Taiwan, people will starve who no longer make sweaters. This green fantasy world on the unicorn farm is going to cause a world wide mess.

I say he's both, but especially he's a ideolog who is determined to destroy our nation. He's also a deplorable elitist dictator in waiting...that old saying “do as I say, not as I do”fits him pretty well.
