The gas prices have come down in part because of bad economic news (some in the US, some in other countries) and, consequently, predictions of less demand globally including in the US.

Thanks to Obama for the economy being so bad that gas prices have come down!

Dec 31 2008 gas prices where 1.61 a gallon. Get back to us when gas prices hit 1.60 a gallon.

For the same reason that those who criticized Bush for high gas prices after Katrina didn't give him credit when they came down.

Because some of us realize that the President has absolutely zero influence on gas prices. The blame should be over on Congress for not enacting laws that stop Wall Street from speculating on gas futures.

Thanks to Obama for the bad economy!
The gas prices are coming down because of the economic turmoil in Europe leading to less demand and the massive increase in production of oil here by Obama.
The global price of oil is NOT in the hands of the President or any President but President Obama has helped the lowering of our gas prices here by producing more domestic oil.
The Economy in the USA is recovering far better than Europe, for example, because of our Presidents policy of stimulus unlike the policy of austerity that has now cost two European leaders their office yet the Republican party want to use the same Austerity measures that is now destroying other Countries. The Romney plans will NOT improve jobs or get the economy growing and his promise of 6% unemployment is a "fairy tale" that he wants to convince Americans can happen to get into the Whitehouse.
Obama is turning the Economy around......... Fact.
Jobs are coming back..................... Fact.
Gas prices are going down........... Fact.
Get real here!

Because he said he wasn't responsible for price increases. He can't be responsible for price decreases.

Absolutely but i couldn't help but see the sudden silence about the gas prices falling after the absolute deluge of posts blaming Obama for the gas hikes...... seems that there are many on here who can only criticise our President no matter what he does........... morons!
