"There are no magic solutions to rising oil prices," said White House press secretary Jay Carney. "The rising gas prices clearly the effect of a variety of factors on the global price of oil," he told reporters, citing geopolitical unrest and rapid growth in India and China.

The white house statement above is clear evidence that Obama and his staff are in over the heads when it comes to knowing how to run the federal government even after being in office for these past three years.

So I say it is time to give someone else a chance to be president and see if he can do something about these horrible growing gas prices.

It seems to me that the only person looking for "magic solutions" is President Obama, because he seems to have run out of "practical" ideas on how to solve this gas crisis.

So let's give someone else a chance to try to do something about this gas mess.

I don't think that a new president could do any worse.

I don't think that we need four more years of more President Obama excuses after excuses when it comes to problems like this horrible gas price mess.
