I will gladly pay $5/gallon for a year if it knocks King Barry off his golden throne.

I guess the R ‘plan’ is to pound the fact that gas was around 1.75 when BO took office just before the inauguration.
Bush and Cheney AKA ‘big oil’ were being pummeled for that price.
As to the ‘obscene’ profits the oil companies make, how about the ‘obscene’ percentage the Govt (all) gets on every gallon. It does behoove them to keep the prices high as it means more revenue - for the Government, not necessarily the Oil Companies.
I also seem to remember that during the Carter fiasco that tankers were sitting off shore waiting to be unloaded while us consumers were stuck with odd/even day fillups because of the ‘shortage’.
I certainly hope that's the case. At least SOME of the Republican candidates can be counted on to do that. I know Perry would, Newt certainly would. The others I'm not so sure of.
