What on earth are you complaining about? Here in NZ, petrol is $2.09 per LITRE, so $8.36NZ per gallon. Unless you missed it there is a WORLD-WIDE recession. Is that Obama's fault too?

Earth's temperature is what it was over 17 years ago = NO NET WARMING in all that time while CO2 has continued climbing. The theory is DEAD yet we keep spending more taxpayer money to 'study it', now over $2 billion per year. USA CO2 emissions have actually DECREASED during Obama's term because of the bad economy and the fact that his policies have increased the cost of energy. So what do we get from this clown for lowering our CO2 emissions? NOTHING BUT MORE LIES TO DESTROY OUR ECONOMY EVEN FURTHER!

Last time I checked Obama was President of the US not the President of EXXON! Don't like gas prices? You have two legs which could be used for walking or cycling!

Oh sure. When a job is 40 miles from home? Yup, you have presented two great options.

It may not effect you when filling your car, but believe me, we/you are all effected by the price of anything transported by truck, which is everything. I have noticed how difficult it has become for me to make ends meet and don't know were I can cut back any more.

This thread is a repeat of the same zombie meme killed then repeated again. Gas prices fell briefly in 2008 when the bottom fell out of the economy. $1.85 was not a typical gas price in 2008. Prices have rebound with the economy.

I'd rather pay today's prices then live in a near depression.

I'd suggest that before making a claim about numbers you first look at those numbers. The U.S. dollar is as strong now as it was on Jan. 1, 2009.



But if you want to see a real fall in the dollar, look at this period:

Your right he's not President of EXXON!...However..when his energy policies restrict our access to resources at home...you bet it'll have an affect on energy costs!!!

BTW...why don't you try telling the trades people to carry all their tools and equipment on a cycle...I think you'll need dental work after they get thru with you.....

finally...it's none of your business if i want use a car or cycle....but then again i'm sure you're a typical liberal control freak!!!
