Also I would like to know what policies he has supported that encourages high gas prices, I must have missed that.
I remember that gas was much higher in 2005 than it is now. I did pay over $5 a gallon at that time (after hurricanes Katrina and Rita) and so where prices are right now are no big deal IMO.
Hopefully it will make people consider their vehicles or to take public transportation or actually to *gasp* walk somewhere sometimes.
You want policies??
1. Shutting down drilling in the Gulf of Mexico
2. Banning drilling in ANWAR
3. Attacking Libya
Yes, oil is a commodity. The price is determined by SUPPLY and DEMAND. Barry shutting down available supplies makes the existing oil fields more expensive.
There was concern (and criticism of the POTUS) the last time....and by the same sort of uninformed folks who are concerned (and critical of the POTUS) this time.
Actually it was the Fed (Bernanke) who said high gas prices this time round were not a concern and pose no risk to our ongoing "recovery".

I don't know what the deal is with this particular station. Maybe the attendant made a mistake and put the wrong price up on the sign, but I just went to gas prices website and checked out prices in DC's zip code, and gas prices are just slightly over the national average, right around the $4.00 mark. NOT THE $5.00 mark.
Learn how to read, I never said I was pissed biff.
What I said is it's pure BS ASSuming prices will fall IF we let the oil companies have free access to public land.
And WHEN Apple makes use of publicly owned land to make their 42% profit I might have something to say.
Possibly even you can see the difference there?
Oh please, it's PUBLIC land. The resources will be used FOR THE PUBLIC to ease the burden FOR THE PUBLIC.
