from his Grandpa on his mother's side. I told him that the president has nothing to do with pricing the gas. I told him he needs to remind grandpa that the reason prices were down when Obama came in was because the economy was tanking. That shut him up. I can't wait to see him and tell him the great news.

you know it's political - manipulating the gas prices to make him look good just before the election. (sarcasm)

You know we're going to hear some Repug talking heads and Faux News saying that.

I paid $.35/gallon less on the way back to DC than I paid three weeks ago, on the way out, and I even saw gas at $.45 less at one station, but I was already tanked-up.

Personally, I think it's the oil companies saying they prefer the devil they know and current policies over a total wildcard. WWIII wouldn't be good for profits (though I'm sure they'd figure out a way to make lots and lots of money).

Gas prices are high and Obama wants them that way to push his anti-drilling agenda! But if they fall, it's to help him get elected. Don't look at seasonal stuff or speculation! Look over there! Obama is black!

I hope it will garner some votes for the Prez even though we know he hasn't brought the prices down himself. $3.26 in Indianapolis this morning!!
