RE :”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.

The evil one(s) will figure out some way to do it.

I’m convinced that this is all fixed anyway. Oil is not at it’s record high, and yet gas prices are way higher than ever.

If gas followed oil prices, oil should either be through the roof, or gas should be much cheaper.

I wouldn’t put it past Soros to stockpile oil now, jack up the price, and then dump it during the election. Pump-and-dump. Make some money and support the left. That’s Soros.

They started down a day or two after W started going through the motions of making it easier to produce oil in the Gulf.
