1. And I have yet to see ONE teabagger...

...come on the TV and scream that it's all Obama's fault.

Imagine that.

13. I haven't seen anyone here thank * for it either.

for years I've heard that the price of oil is determined by the Bush family evil empire (BFEE).

2. Even down to a thrifty $4.07 in Anchorage.

Pffftt....

To be fair, it was up to $4.47 at one point, so it has dropped, but I can't help but feel that they jack the prices up WAY higher than they need to be, just so we'll be grateful when they drop back to what is already an exorbitant price. None of it makes sense.

8. The station I normally use went up from $3.65 to $3.69 in lower Montco

I guess they didn't get the memo.

I found another near it a bit cheaper at $3.62. Am almost ready to Guess it's better than the $4.09 I paid over a month ago.

5. Zero coverage by the media, of course.

9. if it was going up it

would be 24/7.

12. I've seen/heard a bit of coverage.

The "news" now says that falling gas prices are a sure sign of failing economy.

So, it was Obama's fault when prices skyrocketed in spring, and now it's Obama's fault for falling prices because he's wrecking the economy.

6. Good news is bad news for the party that is rooting for America to fail. nt

[newthinking]

7. I don't really get into the ups and downs as it is all manipulated anyway?

And 3.50 or 4.00, either way it is still expensive. We should be paying less attention to the cost of Gas, because it is never going to be cheap again, and more attention to bringing online alternatives. Besides, most of the fluxuations are to do with economies and manipulation. Who is in the white house has very little bearing except in the longer run.

10. Watch Israel invade Iran

Just in time to make Gas skyrocket in price.

11. Prices have fallen more than 50 cents this month in the Seattle area.

They're more in line with the national average now.

14. If gas drops it will cause the overall market to drop

TEMPORARILY thus causing the Right Wing to point at the DOW and claim Obama is bad for the Economy.

Never mind that the cost of shipping and production drops later, improving the economy as a whole and also makes people able to afford to go to work and take a Sunday drive with the family, FORGET IT!!! The stock market fell once upon a time, so hate Obama as ordered.

Got that?

[Purveyor]

16. I wish this was the 3rd week of October. eom

[Turbineguy]

17. Thanks to George W Bush

who, by the way, also killed Osama bin Laden.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

19. Get the futures traders out of the market

We have traders out there buying gas in bulk on paper who don't even use gas just to keep gas prices high to make money.

Imagine if we put a rule in place that they had to accept delivery and hundreds of tanker trucks showed up at a Madison Avenue address.

20. Go Obama!

lower those gas prices!
get re-elected!
???
profit!

for everybody!
