It really is. Inflation (which weakens the dollar) + global demand is going to keep gas above 3/gallon. If you've been paying attention. experts are saying that gas is going to hit a national avg of ~$4.5 - $5 this summer.

Keep thinking that the only reason we have expensive gas though is because we don't drill for it and keep your head in the sand. I just hope most people aren't like that or we are really screwed.

Funny when backed into a corner

Funny jokes!

If you actually read what I wrote, I mock Obama for his response...

"IF we drill off the coast of America, it'll be so cheap".

Fantastic lol!

If only it were true...

So once again, free market only good when it works for you?

Or do you give the president superhuman powers to fix all crisis when it suits you?

LOL!

I know you always like to speak politically (even if its from a slanted point of view)

one of the things I like about you

Of course I know high gas prices will effect Obama negatively

that's not whats I'm denying

I'm speaking reality

Reality means Obama can't do anything

Vote him out

vote him in

Makes no difference

low gas prices are a thing of the past (unless we change our habits)

But that's communism

and that's bad

LOL!
 
vote obama, 2012!

makes no difference!

change your habits!

not much of a campaign, chum

Then it really should be clear. Continue to develop alternative energy, and at the same time open up drilling where the experts say the oil is. It isn't that hard. But is Obama doing that? No. He is continuing to strangle off the energy we now use and rely on while at the same time having NOTHING to replace it with. Stupid if you ask me.

You said Obama could do nothing about pricing? Sure he could, he could do many things at the federal level that would ease this pain he is intentionally inflicting on the poor, and working middle class of this country. Suspending the federal tax on Gas is but one.

Now.

Generalities, misinformation.

Yeah, Obama has done NOTHING with alternative energy.

Nothing at all.

He never talks about it.

He's never invested in it.

Nope you're right :coffeepap

oh and drilling off the coast.

Not enough oil to effect the pricing of a GLOBALLY TRADED AND PRICED COMMODITY!

oh yeah I forgot, the free market only works when you say it works...

If all the voters were idiots and ignored that we went to war over oil in Iraq, and if they ignored all the world's experts and their eyes at the gas pumps that we are approaching the end of cheap oil, your plan might work.

Personally, I don't think voters are that stupid. :sun
Click to expand...

Evidence indicates that many voters ARE stupid...look at the lineup on the GOP side.
We have a bunch of bench warming wannabes, 1 or 2 has beens, and even a crazy candidate.
They know how to appeal to the masses, tho. They will scare us about guns and abortions, ply us with a new color koolaid, and get us giddy with hope that the GOP will once again be in its rightful position of power.

And if they win? Instead of actually doing anything good, they will gleefully tear down all that the evil left has accomplished.
But our guns will be safe, abortions will be banned, and we can teach creationism in our schools.....that's all that matters, right?
 
vote obama, 2012!

evidence shows many voters ARE stupid!

LOL!
