Perception - Obama responsible.........
Earlier I had posted this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021477440
asking if anyone thought it a coincidence about gas prices. Thanks to great DU'ers I received some good and informative feedback. Armed with that feedback I was able to talk to a couple of people at the pumps who were blaming Obama for rising gas prices.
I don't think I really convinced them that Obama is not responsible, but I do think that it made them do a double take especially when I was able to tell them that in other parts of the country it was actually going down.
