Though gas continues to drop week by week, the price of crude is now under 100$ a barrel, and is expected to continue to plunge to $3.50 a gallon or lower by summer.
Are we supposed to be impressed?
Before The Great One took his throne gas was $2.15 cents a gallon.....
Why isn't fox and the right wing machine applauding Obama for the plunge in gas prices?
Just recently Fox and the right wing machine were in a complete frothing at the mouth rampage blaming Obama solely for the high prices at the pump. Claiming that they will hit 6-7$ a gallon by summer, it will cost him the presidency on that issue alone etc,...It was front page, headline "news"

The right wing media has been completely silent on the issue since the prices began to plunge. Another perfect example of their extreme bias and propaganda they spread,...
Though since everything is apparently on the president's shoulders on the issue, thanks Obama for lowering the gas prices
Perhaps because the price might even be lower if he did not veto things to provide more like pipelines and didn;'t waste taxpyer money on loans to solar that fail ;we would have more money to spend on making ourselfs truely crude independent.Rememeber Picken's calling for more investment in natural gas and shifting more to it in trnasportation more.The problem is Obama is like every poitican and just wnats to reward his special interest with taxpayer bucks. if was was b;ame for rewardig his then Obama is to blame for rewardig his also.The congress investiagte A bank for losing 2billio of their money they are respeonsible for and just fluff off poor decision that lose 100's of billions.
According to the LA Times no one is upset about 4$ a gallon gas.
So Obama has no worries about rising gas prices except for his quote that 'energy prices would have to skyrocket under his energy plan and the fact his energy czar was quoted saying the US had to raise it gasoline prices to be EU rates to force people into using green energy.
If Obama can 'necessarily' cause prices to skyrocket, it stands to reason he has control over the high cost.
the Dems blamed GWB when gas prices rose so they have no embarassment now pretending suddenly Obama cannot affect gas prices???? Are they saying GWB wielded more poer than Obama? Are they saying Obama is ineffectual?
If that is so, what the heck does Obama have control over? Seems like the blameless savior replete with rainbow colored halo could stay on a Hawaiian beach for 4 years and it wouldn't make a diff.

Might want to use the spell check next time
The pipeline is being held up by bright red nebraska, not the president. Not to mention that pipeline sends oil to the gulf to be sold on the world market and to China, none of that will have any effect on lowering prices here in the US.
The real problem that causes the prices to fluctuate is oil speculators which as stated in the OP link Obama has gone after, causing the prices to go down.

Wrong on every issue, every time. It must be tough to always have to fight from the bottom...
It definitely was the corrupt one who stopped the pipeline, not Nebraska, but if it makes you feel better to fabricate stories, please continue

Wrong again on every issue, every time. I swear the extreme right takes pride in being the most dumbed down and ignorant people on the planet. They just parrot and obediently obey what their right wing propaganda masters tell them.
You go right along believing the lies, the rest of us that actually listen to facts will keep laughing our asses off at you
