$4 gas is here today, higher tomorrow
Here we go again. Gasoline prices are rising rapidly and already have shattered the $4-a-gallon mark in California. Industry analysts say the all-time national average record of $4.11 could be shattered this summer. Some stations in Los Angeles are charging $4.93. Americans hired Barack Obama in 2008 partly in hope of finding relief from that summers pain at the pump. As the agony returns, voters could be primed by November to pull the lever for anybody but Barack.
The Golden State has the unwelcome distinction of having the nations highest gas prices, having reached $4.03 on Presidents Day, according the AAAs Daily Fuel Gauge Report. Though the national average was $3.56, the California price jumped 18.9 cents in just the past week. Alaska, Florida and traditionally pricey states in the Northeast are not far behind. The standard rule is that each penny increase sucks about $1 billion out of the economy, so the financial impact will be felt from coast to coast.
This latest gas-price jolt is predictable. President Obama has done much to impede the supply of petroleum products to consumers. Most particularly, he exploited the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico as an excuse to clamp down on oil drilling in the Gulf and also along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

HAVE YOU BEEN HERE BEFORE...? THINK ABOUT IT.
No way!
Il Duce was a much better golfer.
Say what? Did we finally pass the statute of limitations on "Bush's Fault"? When did that happen?
Thugbama is praying for an energy crisis since he will be able to blame the me strife vs his own intentional destructive policies intended to skyrocket prices.
FUBO!!!
Now we all did what Obama said in 2008 to lower gas right?
Check the air in your tires.
I hear you. He’s pulling some really stupid stunts being he’s up for reelection. Hopefully, the narcissist that he is is the reason and he’ll be sent packing.
Allegiance among communists trumps all, even economic common sense.
Flip that puppy 180 and you have a match!
If Bush were prez every media story about gas prices would feature him prominently, eventually concluding that angry Americans would see to it he and his party were punished at the polls this fall.
This economy is shaping up very much like 1980. Gas and inflation are common issues felt by the little people. The press didn't report a lot on the economy in 1980, and thought their beloved Democrats were shoo ins. In an honest election, there is no way Obama wins when things are this bad, media cover up or not.
I was assuming that most voters will know that Bush is no longer President ... but that may be wrong.
Say what? First time I've heard that. Should be breaking news.

I know this is going to come across as callous, but I hope gasoline prices continue higher - much higher. I want the people who voted for Obama to suffer, I want them to lose their jobs, their homes. The delusional dolts who support this clown pose a great danger to our country with this support, but they are too stupid to realize such. I wish bad things upon the rich liberals, in particular, who have theirs but now think we, the hard workers of this country, should give more and more of ours to the Feds for Obama to redistribute. I am white-hot angry with these people. My contempt for Barack Obama is limitless.
Don't bet on it.
I’m not.
One thing’s for sure,
the high gas prices are not 0bama’s fault,
because NOTHING is 0bama’s fault.
