Bedbug infestation has gone up hugely in Obama's term in office! How dare he hold out on us and not pull his 2 magic levers that bring down oil prices and kill all the bedbugs in America
You're telling me that gas prices have doubled since the low point of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression?
Wow! It's almost like gas prices are somehow naturally indexed to the performance of the economy or something ...
Okay, then explain the 80's and 90's where the economy grew the fastest since the industrial revolution. Gas prices plummeted and stayed low for nearly 30 years.
It doesn't include drill here or drill now or there's no silver bullets.
First of all those are ANNUAL, QUARTERLY, and MONTH averages - NOT PEAKS!
Not only that, but did you even LOOK at the Quarterly or Monthly averages in your linked spreadsheet?
Apparently not since BOTH show 2008 as the highest levels EVER - which is EXACTLY WHAT I SAID!

Even your OWN linked spreadsheet shows THAT ("gasoline Q" & "Gasoline M" tabs).
Both the MONTH and the QUARTER tabs show the average gasoline price peaking in the summer of 2008 - and this is from your OWN LINK.
Give it up!
Geeze.
Surprised he hasn't blamed Bush for this as well. It takes me 150$ to fill my vehicle up.I had to get something bigger the one I sold took around 90$ to fill up. At the beginning of Odumbo's presidency it took 60$
Reminds me of a photo I took.
$1.67/gallon and 6.8% unemployment, thank you dear leader!
It may have been 6.8% in November, but as soon as all those folks LAID OFF in NOVEMBER hit the UE lines the UE rate jumped to 7.3% in December - and then when the 700,000+ laid in off December hit the UE lines the rate in January (Bush's last month where was in office) the rate jumped to 7.8%. Nice parting gift from "Junior" eh?
