That's true and not true. While there are many factors that go into price speculation the President can and does not directly effect the price of gas.. His policies however do and this President is about as anti-business as any in the history of the U.S.

Maybe because gas prices aren't actually falling? $4.33 / gallon here today, which is UP from where it was yesterday. Thanks Obama!

As many as you say, he is not responsible for the rising gas prices. Guess what he is not responsbile for lower gas prices either.
And that only depends on where you live. Prices on gas are still rising in a lot of different areas, believe me. In fact it was up 5 more cents just two days ago, i was pissed.
