I bet Berry would be happy with $7 gas if it wouldn't ruin his chance for a second term. Maybe he should have got down on his knees and serviced the Saudi king instead of just doing a curtsy. It's sickening that we have to beg Arabs to produce more oil because our corrupt government won't allow us to drill our own.

What I think is going to happen is that gas will get extortionately high, and then obama will work some *miracle* to drop gas prices significantly in time for the election and get the credit for it somehow. That will convince a whole bunch of idiots who forget that he made this mess to begin with, to vote for him.

I think that's the strategy.

Ironically two Democrats have told me that gas prices will go down before the presidential election claiming they always do. I cant remember why they went down in fall 2004 temporarily but in late 2008 they went down because of world economic collapse, and it didnt help Republicans (until now.)

I find hard to imagine, short another world economic dive like the EU crisis, how oil prices will go down by next year.

I’m not concerned about this; he has been extremely light in the miracle department so far.
