President certainly does have a tough job where everything in the world is supposedly a result of his input right down to whether Walmart has a greeter or not..
I'd suspect Walmart is just trying to squeeze every last nickle and dime out of its customers than anything President Obama has done.

PS. As gas is a global commodity Obama has no say in its price and the price is up all over the world not just in the USA.

I guess you need to go back to school...not every country has oil to drill for which can lower the prices of gas...The USA has!!!

Obama doesn't allow more drilling and cut down on it after the BP spill.

due to the high oil prices the cost of groceries goes up and Walmart clientele can't afford many increases so Walmart announced they have to cut else where to keep a healthy company...so less employees.

Thanks Obama for another accomplishment added to be the worst president ever!!!

See how easy that is? Six Degrees of Separation. It works every time.
And the Republican party had and still has nothing to offer America so that is why Obama became president and will be re-elected in November so the bottom line is...... It's all the Republican's fault.....lol

STUNNING!

11 pages of nonsense based upon a made-up idea heard on talk radio that WalMart is laying off greeters (which they aren't) because of President Obama raising gasoline prices (which he didn't.)

This is what happens when people refuse to believe the truth and keep banging their heads against the wall. Much like the birther stupidity.

I'm afraid you have your facts wrong..............
An incredible oil boom is underway, destroying the government's measely estimates for production and getting the US to the point where we will soon challenge Saudi Arabia for the world's biggest producer.
The United States' rapidly declining crude oil supply has made a stunning about-face, shredding federal oil projections and putting energy independence in sight of some analyst forecasts.
After declining to levels not seen since the 1940s, U.S. crude production began rising again in 2009. Drilling rigs have rushed into the nation's oil fields, suggesting a surge in domestic crude is on the horizon.
The number of rigs in U.S. oil fields has more than quad­rupled in the past three years to 1,272, according to the Baker Hughes rig count. Including those in natural gas fields, the United States now has more rigs at work than the entire rest of the world.

Recently I heard on the radio and tv that Walmart with their clientele can't increase the prices so much to compensate for the high gas prices, so they have to take other measurements to stay profitable...

Obama just killed 3 jobs per store, that is hundreds of jobs Nation wide.

Lowes and Kohls stopped with employers discount, and that means that later on the only cut there is will be to cut jobs!

Obama has so much fun going on the late night shows, singing and going to a University to get the crowd in his favor talking about his student loan debt...

Why didn't Obama mention how great it was to even be accepted into Harvard and his wife in Princeton...my child wasn't and so many others can't even get in and if they get in can they afford it...well he could and he hardly worked as a lawyer after graduating and than to come up with that bs story like we will fall over no believe a word he says.

I'm sorry to see the greeters go and lose their job they seem to enjoyed what they were doing, but I understand that Walmart has to look at the balance sheet.
You are very talented at connecting dots.
