Monday that gas prices climbed last week to $3.88 a gallon, up 81 cents since the start of the year. That is the highest pump price since August 2008, before the financial meltdown.


Post-ABC poll shows that 60 percent of independents who say they’ve been hit hard by surging gas prices also say they definitely won’t support Obama in his bid for reelection.

I've been saying it right along, gas prices are going to hurt Obama.

Fuel prices will hurt Obama but if he ends up against Romney everyone is a loser anyway.


Meanwhile I'll keep working on my exit path. Enjoy your bond market crash, suckers.

Remember: gas prices are the president's fault, unless his last name is "Bush."

Even if it's up by $1, that comes out to a whole maybe 20 to 50 dollars a month for most people. I can't see how 20 to 50 dollars more a month will break anyone that isn't already being hurt by the economy. So it's probably mental.


edit: People like romney or obama will never be able to relate to anybody that has difficulty coming up with an extra $100 a month.. I doubt they've had to worry about $100 since they were in high school.

Pretty confident that 100 USD equals approximately a years salary in Kenya.


Give or take

True in a typical non-election year. Probably true this year as well.
