The price of gas was low because we were heading into a recession? Is this a revised formula for supply side economics?
Actually, when Barack Obama won the election, something really weird happened. Before he was even sworn in, the price of gas a the pump dropped significantly:



I really have no clue why this happened, but if anyone could take credit for actually causing it to happen, the credit would have go to George W Bush since he was still POTUS, but I can't honestly say what he did to drop gas prices so suddenly.

The only thing that makes sense: I think it may have been mindless optimism (or pessimism if you're the oil companies) that Barack Obama was about to do something amazing to fix everything. Obviously, it didn't last.
