(11,304 posts)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.

(25,219 posts)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.

(18,541 posts)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).

(3,212 posts)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!
