You ignore the argument, we're not talking about Bush, we're talking about Obama's reign.
Fact is gas prices were very low when Obama took office, fact is gas prices today are 100% higher than when he took office.
You sure like to turn things around to blame Bush quickly.
We were in a global recession when he took office and that is the ONLY reason gas prices dropped like a rock. The gas prices really had nowhere to go but up as the global economy started to improve.
Obama can only do bad things in the minds of simpleton's. You must be new around here............lol
(cons getting in a circle to do their "thing.")
Says one of the blind mice! All you have left is to attack anyone for not kissing the ring, as you do. Nearly 70% of the country has lost faith in our fearful leader, and for good reason. I say he should play golf every day for the next two years.

Bush gets blamed more than Obama at times and he has been outta office nearly 6 years. I don't remember a president and his sycophants blaming a preceding POTUS as they do in my lifetime. Most have sucked it up and sallied forth.

There are plenty who worship Reagan and condemn Clinton.
The fundamental change is 24/7 political media, Internet and social media that never lets go.

I didn't vote for him, and I'm not on the other "team." 70% of the country won't like the next unlucky SOB that gets elected either. We live in a different world. It's a world where individuals like yourself can be bombarded with unlimited amounts of propaganda to indulge in. Honestly, our current POTUS has ran the most transparent administration in the history of the world. The reason we hate our leaders so bad now, is because we have so much insight as to what they actually do. It's because our technology has allowed us to no longer be left in the dark, that we're finally seeing how lame our government is. Trust me when I say that Obama is a saint compared to previous leaders we've had.
Obama has nothing to do with it. Market forces have everything to do with it, including fracking.
As for "low prices," gasoline is still over $3.00/gal. I don't call that, "low." It is an improvement.
Funny! Today I filled up for $2.75 a gallon. Meanwhile that well known, conservative bastion of the country, California, with the highest combined gas taxes and the most expensive, artisan gas in the country is getting ready to increase the existing taxes measurably.

Obama has done nothing to 'liberalize our gasoline production'; his ludicrous new round of absurd CAFE standards as well as his equally asinine ethanol mandates, on top of killing the Keystone pipeline which the Canadians are predictably working around is all the proof that our current gasoline prices are something that he and his 'alleged' middle-class loving Democrats actually DESPISE.
I guess the exploding unemployment rate for minorities as well as an economy as flat as a bowling alley excluding the auto industry are good for everybody including Joe the Plumber????
Only in Obamaville!
