No its not. It must also demand the international community to join hands and regulate speculation which is a part of the problem. Germany tried it in 2008, and that attempt fell on deaf ears.

O says we cannot increase production HERE to decrease prices. But Saudi Arabia can increase production THERE to decrease prices.

His agenda is GREEN and only GREEN, no matter the cost to the country and it's citizens.

This man knows NOTHING about business. Pure and simple.

And NO, I don't condone subsidies for oil companies. But, take that total and lay out the distributions to the oil companies and it's not really a huge factor.

Market manipulation is where it's at and he has enough manipulators on his payroll to control that.

Only a "conservative" believes that when production is at an all-time high, demand is low and oil is being exported, that producing is a great idea. I bet these includes pretty much every "fiscal conservative" around here.

Yep. We need fascism... businessmen know better and will always work in the best interests of the people.

And it takes a businessman to realize when you've a surplus, you produce more so you can sell your product at a discounted price. No?

What about you? Do you blame Obama?

You could, however, as I did... if you're talking about not doing enough to address speculation. Bush was opposed to the idea, Obama isn't but needs to push for it.

nope I dont blame the potus....none of them

but I do simply state the SOME.. POLICY/LAW..that comes from not only DC but the states also.... does effect the prices that the consumer will feel....ie you raise the federal (or state) gas tax..the consumer will feel it...you have a bill/law like cap&trade the cumsumer will feel it

obama HIMSELF stated that the now defunked bill capped "cap and trade' aka cap and tax. would have raised prices

An assumption of "would have" is not to be confused with "did". You know that, though, no? Just accept that you came here to blame Obama (you already did in your first post, by quoting prices between him taking office and now). That is "conservative" mind at work.

So the propaganda team set up a blame graph, go figure.

It takes an extremely weak personality to immediately start blaming everyone else when things start to go wrong. I can only imagine what his two children get fed when the pancakes are burnt, the dishes aren't done or there is no toilet paper on the holder. I bet Obama goes into a raging finger-pointing fury.

Wait! Why is the White House doing this? Aren't the liberals claiming there's nothing at all that Obama can do about the economy and fuel prices?
