After 4-month surge, gas prices start falling
The month surged is the first time gas prices ever got this high this early in the year.

What about the summer driving surge?

LOL can you honestly imagine what will happen, when we actually have a good economy, not a manufactured one!

One that is actually real? Some don't live in the real world. This ain't no good ecnomy. When you have a housing slump as we do, this ain't your good ecnomy,. and it ain't gettting better any time soon. I have many realtor friends across the Country. The short sales, foreclsorures, and repos, are killing a regualr listing sale. And home sales inspite what some will say are down. I have listings of homes sales across the Country, so i do know what is going on. My friends fax them to me, yes i am nosy.

Good housing market helps a good ecnomy.
Businesses do not close in a thriving ecnomy they prosper and grow. Businessess some we love, do not close stores, when you have a good economy, so save the act. And when we actually have an economy that is really growing and prospering, and a booming ecnomy, call me!

Ok, the left needs to get together and decide if Obama has control over fuel prices.

Everyone with even basic knowledge knows the president has little to no control over gas prices.
The point of the thread and discussion is to show out how the extreme right propaganda machine was slandering Obama over the prices, like it was his fault for raising them, but now isn't praising him for lowering the prices now that they have gone down.

Absolutely!
When is everyone going to realise that America has very little say in the global price of oil.
The President has shown that the amount we produce does not bring the prices down........ we are producing huge amounts of oil and have been for a while with low demand yet prices went up. The so called "saviour" (Keystone pipeline) will only move oil from Canada destined abroad anyway and profits going to Canada.
Gas prices go up and down no matter what party is in power but it becomes a weapon against the administration..... the Democratic party used it against Bush's high gas prices at the pump and now the Republicans are using it against Obama............ Yet a lot of American's think it is a problem caused by their opposing party........ it isn't.
This gas price blame game at election time is getting very, very old now.

Some of us adults aspire to be more than serfs....

The day Israel bombs Iran.... the game begins.


Fuel will hit $8 a gallon, then push to $10.

Rationing days will return. Death will rule the world.

Have a nice weekend!

Clearly Obama is concerned about it, if you use youtube, you've been bombarded with "Obama is concerned about gas prices" advertising on almost every video..

last week they were proclaiming Obama has no control over gas prices, this week, he's responsible for it falling a nickel.. Wish they'd make up their mind..

Yeah, I sit around daily filling my gas tanks up, celebrating high price of fuel because I know high fuel prices hurt Obama.

Really? You actually believe that? The ridiculous of the left is astounding.
