He is buddies with Carter.........
Oh and are you inflating your tires to get better gas mileage as obama suggested.....
because that will make a difference at the pump!


Under the Carter administration, gas prices increased by 103.77 percent. Gas prices since Obama took office have risen by 103.79 percent.
No other presidents in recent years have struggled as much with soaring oil prices.
Under the Reagan administration, gas prices actually dropped 66 percent.

When Bill Clinton was president, gas prices grew by roughly 30 percent, and under both Bush presidencies, gas prices rose by 20 percent.

So OP who are you going to vote for that will lower gasoline prices? Romney? You actually believe your vote could help lower the price of gas you pay?

You know if gas prices are the major problem with Obama then things have gotten much better since 2008.

Obama is an idiot who never should have been elected. He has never ran anything in his life. Voting present most of the time as a senator even not capable of taking responsibility to the people in his district or state to take the time to review and cast a vote that matters but he chose to vote present. Except for when it came to gang members using guns during crimes and how he was against a heavier punishment for them.

Thought as much. You don't have ANY evidence that Obama effects gas prices. It's just more rhetoric you get from AM radio or FOX. Now you going off on some tangent about gang members....LOL

Sigh, I think I went over these in about 5th grade, but I'll post this here to help you out.

You're confusing cause and effect. It's a rather basic, grade school type debating error. That A and B happened at the same time doesn't mean that A caused B.

For example, it's sunny when you wake up in the morning. You waking up didn't cause the sun to rise. Alternatively, you could use your argument as another example.

Here's a list of others so you don't make this rudimentary mistake again.

The POTUS has to be a citizen and 35 years old, and get elected. You may not like it, but he was elected. It happens frequently. The USA has several political parties. Not all can win every election. Sometimes, individuals have a representative that they did not vote for. Due to where I live, I have never voted for a candidate who won. My state rep, state senator, Congressman or Senator completely ignore the opposition party. I voted once for a candidate who was elected POTUS. If you try, you can get used to being on the outside looking in.
