As much as I want this to be Obama's fault...a lot of it isn't. Freepers are funny when it comes to gas prices. They fail to realize the same thing that drove oil prices up under Bush are driving it up now: SPECULATORS.
We don't have a supply problem. There is a lot of surplus out there.
I believe what obowma and geithner and bernanke have given us is not rampant speculation they are “helpless” to confront ... but a weak dollar and a market that can no longer rely on the good faith of the US government that is printing all those debt notes masquerading as money
and obowma bears direct responsibility for that decision and the results, ala $4 + gasoline, in an economy that is at least as weak or worse than when Bush had his final 3 months in office
now this makes me wonder if that economic terrorist attack on the US banking system that occurred in September 2008 had anything to do with Bush’s willingness to play tough with the energy markets and speculators...
