Feeling pain at the pump? Gas prices have doubled since Mr. Obama took office. According to the GasBuddy gasoline price tracking web site, the price of a gallon of regular gas was around $1.79 when Mr. Obama took office. Today the national average is $3.58. The lowest average price in the continental United States is $3.31 in Tulsa Oklahoma, the highest is $4.14 in Santa Barbara, CA.

Yes, and that's for gas that's been diluted with worthless ethanol. For real gas, if it's available, add probably 20 centavos.

So Far. Give him time he has just begun to screw everything up. He will go down as the worst if not the last President. Hopefully just the worst.

Gas hasn’t been below $2 a gallon for well more than 2 years.

National average price on 1/22/09 was near that. On March 22, 2009, it was around $1.90/gallon.

Well, the liberals like that, don’t they?

They hate gasoline, oil, coal, gas and yet they love all mankind and want them to flourish, right? But they’ll have to flourish in the dark, apparently.

(The dialectic is afoot Mr. Watson.)

IMHO

There's so much to hammer on here with this administration.

Time to step up Republicans!

I wish I was only paying $4.14/gal. Avg. price on Maui is $4.40/gal. and as high as $4.80 with diesel @$4.53/gal. or more. We will be looking at $5.50/gal. by summer.

Contrary to popular trash economics journalism of the past three years or so, east Asia is still increasing its fuel consumption. Gasoline and diesel fuel will go much higher with our government debts adding to the trend: probably over $10 per gallon before long. Prepare, and enjoy the ride.

Wait a second. Didn't Obama say that gas was $4.00 a Gallon when he was elected POTUS in his big Energy speech today?

Am I confused or what?

I’m starting to think he’s stirred up a civil war in Libya just to disrupt the oil supplies some more. Some of the NATO countries are on the verge of economic collapse. Having one of their major oil supplies cut off and having to fund a protracted military operation could push some of them over the edge. The socialists will be witing to take advantage of the chaos that will ensue.

Can’t be true. Under Bush, the news reported on the rising price of gasoline on EVERY news cast. I can’t remember the last time I heard such a report. So this must be just another racist attack on our pres__ent.

There is no justice. Where is the MSM? When prices rose during the Bush years you would have thought the sky was failing because of all the gnashing of teeth by the MSM. Now it up 100% during a Democratic administration and you don't hear a peep.

The MSM wonders why they are not trusted to provide accurate, unbiased information? They are no better than a dishonest attorney, actually they are worst because they are entrusted with he public interest and they only represent one view. DISGUSTING!

Granted, but that was during the worst part of a big recession, something that kind of reduces demand for fuel and energy.

Mind you, I can certainly appreciate that the other side is desperately looking for something to tar us (if not half the country that didn't vote for them) with.

Here's an example of their FUD, fine print not included When you can't defend your own guy, invent a new devil: corporations.
