and the global warming cults for waging war on fossil fuels. Oh, I'm sure high gas prices will not cause major hardship on working families and especially on the poor. We all know that liberals are just always looking out for the little guy.
Let me ask again - are you in favor of having president Obama nationalize oil companies so that the government can control the price of gas, or are you a free-market capitalist. ? You can't have it both ways. The president currently has nothing to do with the price of gas at the pumps. Take your beef to the crude oil speculators buying futures. That is how the price of your gasoline is determined.

supply and demand plays a part.. Obama cut back on drilling permits..

Quantitative Easing is the opposite of a free market. You can't have it both ways.

The US supply vs demand is not really an issue in regards to pricing. You have consider where our oil is sourced and refined.
The real reasons as to why gasoline pricing has changed are:
1. Cyclical changes. You can follow this back for decades.
2. Bush Stimulus
3. Bush's sharp increase in spending.
4. Obama maintaining Bush's spending levels.
5. Obama Stimulus.
What type of comment is this? Keep in mind that if we were paying $0.10 a gallon and it doubles to $0.20 a gallon, people will rightly complain if there is not a solid reason for it. So just because other countries pay higher fuel costs does not mean our country should as well.
Why not reverse it and tell your boss that people in China work for $2.00 per week, so you are overpaid and do not want a raise that is coming up.
My main point is not so much the fuel costs which Obama and his policies has helped to raise. Instead it is the clear and open hypocrisy of the leaders of the (D) party, and the liberal media in attacking Bush every week, yet giving Obama a total pass.

what was it when 0bama took office, something like $1.90/gal? Gee, those oil companies must love 0bama, making them rich off that $100 a barrel oil. Bet they are glad Boooosh is no longer president, he kept oil prices low for most his presidency. 0bama got elected and BOOOM! oil prices shot up and never come back down.

Booosh, Boosh, and Booosh.
Funny how that man has not had any input in policy for going on six years. If the man had died in 2009, the left would resurrect him, jut to blame him for everything.
Hey when my prices tick down some next week, will you praise Obama for lowering gas prices? I didn't think so.
