[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why, oh why, does no one remember the context of the supposed "pre-Obama" prices?
THE ECONOMY HAD CRASHED!  The prices were only low for a couple weeks until we figured out the world was NOT ending.  It has been a steady climb ever since.

The prices just months before were well into the $4+/gallon.

Stop spreading this insane bullshit.

Fox itself said that a president has very little effect on gas prices - check the tape.  Prices now have very little to do with our country or our production - it is mostly tied to demand elsewhere.

And you realize we still pay much less than the rest of the world, right?[/quote]

I only said our nation would be much more prosperous if we would be at pre-Obama prices.  How can you argue with that?

[vimeo]Gas affects everything, from the price of plastic and other petroleum products, to the price of groceries.  For people who must drive to get to work, paying 50% less in gas is the difference between feeding their families or not.  In many places, like St. Louis, folks must drive to where the work is.  They can't afford to sell and move, and they can't afford not to work.  So they drive.  A lot.  My sister's car was on fumes, because she is one of these people who have to make these kinds of choices.  She was crying after filling her car this morning.[/quote]
