52. Mr. Obama, You say that production has increased, but

Export of gas has also increased as consumer demand has decreased, and prices are still high (almost at $5 per gal. here) What is the point of increasing production, and reducing consumption if the excess is being exported therefore keeping gas prices high?

I don't give a shit if it is an election year or not, the situation is bull shit.
