About the only influence any president has over gas prices is to instruct the NHTSA to review CAFE standards. And, gee, what happened last August - why, CAFE standards were reviewed and reset by the NHTSA.
Which is why I laughed so hard when Obama proclaimed that high gas prices were due to failed Presidential energy policies, and that was going to release oil from the oil reserves in order to cut the cost.
Liberals applauded the stupidity like crazy, but now all of a sudden, he's powerless..
Lie.. permits on public land averaged 5,000 a year under Bush, down to 4,000 a year under Obama
Actually, I was referring to production over his term and didn't correlate the previous administration and gave the reason (BP debacle), you should learn to read. If you really want to go there, this administration has in fact produced MORE than the previous administration.

Obama has no control over production on private lands, only public.
And you very clearly said it wasnt due to a reduction in permits, which is a LIE..
Obama always talks about how he can take credit for increasing domestic oil and gas production but Obama's administration put into effect yet another new regulation making it harder for America's oil and gas companies to increase production.
Govn Romney is right on the permits on federal land, Obama leases DOWN 42%. Oil and gas production on federal land, production is down. Within the industry Obama took away the drilling industries AND decreasing production.
Obama is NOT looking for more gas production, Obama is looking for more wind and solar with money taken from oil and gas.
And gas prices will continue to increase.
If gas prices bother you, then do something about it.
Use transport that minimizes your need for gas.
The situaion with fuel prices today has been staring us in the face for 30 years. It hasn't caught anyone by surprise.

This was public genius! Verified last night after the debate. It's not a lie as again, verified last night after the debate. So I'll say yet again, Romney was technically correct there were fewer permits issued but misleading. Unless you have a fact checker to contradict the fact check that was done, you're just talking to hear yourself talk.

LOL, you laughed too. I needed to get a drink to see if I could twist my mind around it. I made no sense to me either. Something like prices were low because the economy was bad. It's bad today so why are gas prices not low?
I repeat!
$4 - $5 Gas Prices- Obama My car doesn't run on WIND POWER
