Now, they don't want gas prices to go down because Obama is president? LOL!

Gee, what else would you like to not see: lower food prices, lower healthcare costs, intact social security, Osama dead,........?
Obama lowered the prices on beef recently as well.

Meanwhile why low gas prices are celebrated by the naieve, Iran sponsors terrorism which has resulted in American deaths and will continue to result in the death of more innocents and cost us far much more in defending the world and ourselves from terrorism.

Enjoy reduced gas prices with a huge grain of salt.

Firstly I don't recall any hostile terrorists US states where this drilling would occur seeking to become nuclear powers.

That said despite Obama's policies US oil companies have been able to produce and that is the reason gas is cheap right now.

Ill believe it when I see it. I think gas and oil prices are manipulated more through collusion than supply and demand.

What terrorism does Iran sponsor? The last I heard about was years ago in 1979 and President Reagan supplied them with weapons know as the Iran-Contra affair.

1979 is long over and a new, more progressive, generation has emerged.

But stick to your principles, don't buy any gas!

I prefer chicken. When will Obama be lowering the price on it? And while I'm asking, what about eggs?

It's amazing how much this one president has accomplished since 2009, considering he's received no support from the opposing party. I don't approve of every bill Obama signs and I often disagree with his views, but he never gets any credit for his achievements. Maybe this deal isn't perfect, but I want to know what alternatives Obama's critics are offering. Tell me please!
If you cant read the sarcasm in my post than sorry i didnt put a little😁 in there.

You don't even want to know how much we pay for eggs here in California.

Personally, I don't think selling my soul is worth a little money off at the pump.
