Obama doesn't care how much we pay for gas. He wants to push his green agenda on us . We are suppose to cut down on driving or use electric, solar or wind cars and that will make him happy. Of course we can't transition into this overnight but Obama wants it now. He wants 10 a gallon gas and he doesn't care who has to pay it or what hardships there will be on the American people. And the American people are dumb enough to vote for Obama?

Obama doesn't care about the supply dwindling. When it is a demand problem around the world , don't you think Obama should back drilling now?


Obama does have say in the oil industry. His name is everywhere as he vetos the Keystone pipe line and no drilling in the gulf.

We just have to pay the higher prices and that sues Obama fine. It is Obama's green agenda or exorbitant gas prices for the American people. Can you say $10 dollars a gallon or $200 to fill your tank and be ok with that?

no, i don't. if the supply is dwindling, you need to find an alternative source of energy.

you will never find an alternative source of energy as long as gas prices are held artificially low.

If the DOD, State department, health related illnesses and damage to the environment due to gasoline were calculated into what we pay at the pump, the price of gasoline would be $15 a gallon. Just my opinion.

Tell that to the struggling people who have to get to work and are just making ends meet that $10 a gallon for gas is fine. Tell that to the people who as energy gets more expensive to transport the necessities of everyday life and the cost of those products , such as food escalates to the point of unbearable costs. To all the struggling elderly and the frail and sick and poor. Tell it to them how you are ok with it.

Oil production is set to start declining worldwide this year. Give it ten years tops and you'll be on fuel rationing.

Americans seem to be as dumbed down as they have ever been lately! First off US refineries are EXPORTING gasoline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Prices are sky rocketing and our refineries are next exporters of gasoline. LOL think about that for a minute. USA is a net exporter of oil. LMAO!

Two, our wonderful brilliant Harvard educated clown of a President just let Canada sign a pact with China for oil that should have created jobs and flowed south to the USA!

Third, there is more oil in Alaska than all of Scandinavia combined!!!!!!!!!! Yet we are constantly brainwashed that their standard of living in Norway, Finland etc. is due to their huge excess of oil resources and small populations. Garbage! Complete and utter garbage.

I'll tell you what's wrong with America......our natural resources.........things like timber, oil, minerals, natural gas, land, etc. are increasingly being owned and controlled by a handful of private individuals or corporations. In Scandinavia you've got countries like Norway where 70% of their natural resources ARE OWNED BY THE PEOPLE! Do Americans understand what that means? Or are they so brainwashed by 1950 ideology that anything that benefits the country and the people is evil "socialism"??????????????? There is absolutely no justifiable economic reason for gas to be the price that it is in America. This country still has ENORMOUS amounts of natural resources. Our supply is huge and our demand right now for gas is actually low.

America is ruled by an oligarchy of private interests oil and money. Big oil and big banks are constantly bending the America people over with the help of our corrupt and self serving government...........and all we do as a nation is comply and ask how much astroglide Mr.????????????

Americans need to grow up, put down the American Idol, and AppleIphone for just one minute, turn off the tv., and worry more about what's going on in the world and in your country instead of who's the father of Minnie Driver's baby!
