Aah… Because Barack Obama forgot to bring it up?

…Maybe somebody "forgot" to bring it up.

Because a RAT is in.
If McLaim had won the cost of gas would be spewed every 5 minutes.

Simple. IT makes Barry look bad, and the lame stream media always give him an affirmative action pass.

It IS an issue.
It's being discussed in every line at all gas stations.

Better ask the oh so, enlightened MORONS at the RNC and other IJITS who are "advising" (BARF) Mittens and Ryan.

IMHO, this would make a devastating ad and something everyone can relate to (we know the corrupt, biased, leftist Enemdia will never report on this) and cuts accross all socio-econmic classes; even poor people on food stamps, the unemployed, the small business owner (of which I are one) etc all feel the pinch every time we fill up...for those who can. My work van holds 36 gallons so when I fill up, I cringe.

A simple ad flooding all battle ground states or those close in polls showing the price of gas when Dear Reader took over and today (with maybe a Senior Citizen on SS at the pump bemoaning the cost, for effect) as welll as his shutting down the pipeline and his Cabinet heads/RAT Congress critters etc. doing everything in their power to deny drilling etc. would make people sit up and maybe hold O'Bummer responsible.

He promised that his energy policy would cause the cost of electricity to "necessarily skyrocket" and expressed regret that the price of gasoline had risen so rapidly; we elected him anyway...why complain now?

Way I see it, the real problem is not Obama; it's the DBM and about half of the voters. As it stands, we'll have to deal with an Obama every 4 years in perpetuity.

Four years ago I remember walking into the lunchroom at work and hearing my Dem cohorts emitting sounds of disgust and directing imprecations at “Bush and his oil buddies” over the price of gas. One of my co-workers was convinced Bush got on the phone every day and told the oil companies to raise the price of gas. There’s no arguing with stupidity like that. What are my ex co-workers (I’m retired) thinking now? Is it still Bush’s fault?

It's not a "news" issue because the msm controls the "news" but don't believe that it isn't a real issue.

Every time I get gas, I just mention the price of gas to whomever happens to be pumping next to my car and just listen to the response.

The responses include everything from "That f###ing n#gg33 has got to go" to "We've got to change Presidents" but I've never had any one say, "It's not obama's fault".

The press is not saying a word about gas prices nor food prices but people that WORK TO EAT, and don't line up for their welfare EBT card know what is going on and we don't need no stinken msm to tell us that gas is $4 buck a gallon and double what it was when the one became the one.

Because 47% of the people pay for it with “government” money.

Don’t want to alarm them.

It is not a issue because Great Leader has not inicated it to be an issue. Only those items important to Great Leader are issues. After Great Leader leaves office the issues will be reevaluated.

“Why Isn’t the Price Of Gasoline a Campaign Issue?”

Why hasn’t Obama’s foreign policy of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood?
Why hasn’t Obama’s socialism?
Why hasn’t Obama’s past Commie backrground?
Why hasn’t there been a demand for Bam’s college transcripts & writings?
Why hasn’t the issue of who and how he paid for tuition?
Why hasn’t he released records pertaining to fast and furious?
Why hasn’t he acted to prevent Iran from getting nukes?
Why hasn’t he acted to provide jobs?
Why did Obama vote to KILL babies who survived abortion?
All these and many more questions could be become campaign issues but our wimpy candidate and his advisors are afraid and have no cajones.

A big part of the problem is that the media knows that the “citizens” are too stupid and ignorant to understand the issue. I have run across so many in this rural county in which I live who have no idea as to what influences gas prices. I think that they think they are decreed by natural forces they cannot comprehend. Stupid and indifferent beyong belief.

When Obama was elected the average price of gasoline was $1.78, why is this not an issue?

Because 0bama's a Democrat...

good question - because people have gotten used to settling for misery? That’s just my guess.
