Kind of like me, golf and water, if I hit a golf ball it will find water, wherever it is.

Wasn't there recently an article about how the administration is releasing some of the emergency oil supply because of high gas prices? (found it)

http://vnboards.ign.com/acfriends/b5258/116295881/p1

It seems like both the republican candidates and Obama alike don't really want to focus on the root cause of oil prices.





Um. So why doesn't he?

Quoted: "The price of gasoline when Barack Obama became president was $1.89. All of this gigantic increase came from his policies." —Newt Gingrich

March 6, 2012

Reality: U.S. gasoline prices, like prices throughout the advanced economies, are determined by global market forces. It is hard to see how Mr. Obama's policies can be blamed (see Stat of the Week).

But Mr. Gingrich puts the onus on President Obama entirely for the doubling of gasoline prices since January 2009. He has made cheap gas the centerpiece of his presidential campaign.

Mr. Gingrich promises to make the U.S. "energy independent," which he says will push prices down and isolate U.S. drivers from political tensions in the Middle East.

Mr. Gingrich ignores the basic fact about U.S. gas prices: They are largely fixed by the price of crude oil, which is determined by global supply and demand.

When Mr. Obama was inaugurated, demand was weak due to the recession. But now it's stronger, and thus the price is higher.

What's more, producing a lot of oil doesn't lower the price of gasoline in your country. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Germans over the past three years have paid an average of $2.64 a gallon (excluding taxes), while Americans paid $2.69, even though the U.S. produced 5.4 million barrels of oil per day while Germany produced just 28,000.

i don't really use much petroleum.

i have these legs, warm clothes, a bus to share with crazy people on their way to the mental hospital.

That's good I guess. I don't like that mentality though that it's better to wait a week to score political points than do now and start saving Americans money as soon as possible.

Facts:

Prices increased from $22 in 2002 to just under $100 a barrel average in 2008.

Domestic oil production is increasing for the first time since the Johnson administration.

Republican Spin:

Obama is anti petroleum, and the rise in prices is his fault.

qft

the facts speak for themselves

Obama should work harder to get the oil prices back down to the $20-$30 range

--------------

Facts translated:

1. since the extreme unrest in the middle east [read OPEC area] the price of oil has quadrupled

2. campaign promise of abandoning military occupation in those area's is still unmet

--------------

truth revealed:

campaign promises don't mean sh@t

When Bush was in office it was his fault.

Now that Obama is in office it's Bush's fault.

Don't you guys see?!?!?!? GOD YOU'RE SO STUPID!!!!

a failure is even more of a failure when it is recognized as a failure and steps are not taken to fix the failure.
