Once again a right-winger falsifies the title of a thread. The price is not the highest in history, that was actually under Bushes time, this is only the highest on Labor day.
True
At the very end of Bush's term as president gas did spike to $4.12 a gallon, but over all we've seen much higher average gas prices under Mr. Obama.
I predict before Obama is booted out of office this election gas will soar past Bush's $4.12
Christine? I remember when Gas was about 99 cents under Clinton around 2000! Romney wants to attack Iran! We better get used to bicycles!
I have pictures of it!! My son's daycare center was located right in next to a Sunoco station. We have a lot of pictures of events during that time frame and we alway laugh about the 97 cent gas. It was very stable at that rate for a very long time. What a great man to control prices so well.
It appears the sheep have been conditioned to accept 3.00+ for a gallon of gas. Now it's just no big deal anymore. When it hits four the folks will squeal but they will be conditioned to accept that. On and on the baaaaaaaaing goes.
That's real cute. Oddly enough, I haven't heard a single person announce that they think current prices are acceptable. Unless you happen to have your own refinery in your backyard, big oil has got you by the balls as much as the rest of us.
Of course, some of us were smart enough to actually purchase smaller cars, live closer to work, or have access to alternative modes of transport.
Did you know that I haven't used my car at all in over a week?
Alas, what do you suggest? Perhaps a round of picketing at Chevron?

What do you want an award for not using your car? Do you use plastic? lol
New CBO study: lifting obama drilling restrictions would increase U.S. energy reserves by 30%
Using estimates from the Department of the Interior (DOI), CBO said that lifting federal drilling restrictions could bring billions more barrels of oil and gas to market.
Williston North Dakota oil from state and private lands, it's like the recession never happened.
Unemployment is under 0.8% -- that's right, less than 1%, far below the national average of 8.2%.
And the new oil jobs pay well, too. The average oil worker is making more than $90,000 a year.
The flood of jobs has made Williston the fastest-growing small city in the United States.
Oil production on Federal lands declined by 17 percent in fiscal year 2011 from fiscal 2010 levels.
The much reduced production was principally due to the moratorium and de facto moratorium placed on offshore drilling by the Obama Administration.
Private and State Lands Producing 5.5 Times More Oil Per Acre because obama has no control over them.
The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline hit $3.80 on Monday, up 14 cents from the same time last year, the highest price ever recorded during a Labor Day weekend, GasBuddy.com reports.
Or we could loosen the permitting process so more refineries could be built and when an event like Isaac occurs it wouldnt impact the supply so drastically.
FYI-restricted supply+ same or greater demand =higher price
Class over.
And class and another fail.
Where, pray tell us, does one suppose where those permits are slated for or refineries built? The wonderful land of Oz or the same hurricane coast of the Gulf of Mississippi?

Guess you're ignoring the metric of highest cost relative to median income, unless you believe that gas money is just given to people?

Don't say that too loud. DNC convention coming up they don't need any ideas.
