This BS takes me back to the summer/fall of 2008. Gas was around $1.89 & it made the headlines daily as part of the “Bush economy”

The Kenyan can maintain that the price of gas isn’t his fall....but a moratorium on off shore drilling hasn’t helped.

No, you are off by a couple of dollars there. Gas prices in Jan-05, the start of W’s second term were about $1.85 (sound familiar?). They peaked in Jul-08 at $4.09. The week prior to the Lehman collapse in mid Sep-08 they were still about $3.80.

Prices moved below $2.00 in mid Nov-08 and bottomed out at $1.63 at the end of Dec-08, as 4Q08, GDP fell at a rate of 8.9%. The Jan-09 decline in payrolls of 818,000 likely contributed to the prices witnessed when Obama took over.
