That is so beyond scary.  Grotesquely unsustainable

Obama is in no way responsible for the price of gasoline. Big oil and speculators along with supply and demand, determine the price.

Big oil would like to build a pipeline from Texas to Canada,drill more in the gulf and Alaska.   Big oil wants to compete and be more productive.

  I rather blame President Obama,it is more realistic.

The pipeline, the company has said, is to bring the oil to the Gulf with the purpose of shipping it out of the country. In any case, all oil will be sold by whoever owns it, at as high a price as they can get. There is a shortage, and that makes prices go up. There are also a lot of speculators that are raising the price by using futures contracts. The saber rattling over Iran is also a  motive.

President Obama is not the cause, and electing some Republican will not cause the price to go down. Diesel is 10 cents more this month than last.

But...but....when prices were rising during the Bush years, it was "obviously", because of what the Administration was able to get "big oil" to do for them.  So, which is it??

So Bush was NOT the cause, and electing some Democrat will not cause the price to go down either.  Glad we got that cleared up

The price of oil is the result of a world wide auction.

Any bottleneck in the supply has immediate effect on the price.
Even future bottlenecks can be anticipated and raise the price, it is an auction after all.

All this being said , President Obama's foolishness is only a bit of the cause of this rise, several other factors are in play, including the wilyness of President Acmedninaajaad.  It isn't as if President Obama has the actual tiller in his hand , more like he is holding one of many levers.

But he should use what leverage he does have in a positive way , no excuses for making things worse , even if only a bit.

Sirs....so when Bush was President
gas went up because President Bush was "owned" by big oil,
but when gas is sky high under Obama it's "well it's outta his control".

Notice also that when anything, (albeit very little, though you could point a finger at the Obama raid) goes good, Obama is to get the credit.  But when any fit is hitting the shan, be it the economy, unemployment, foreign relations, consumer confidence, debt, or gas prices, notice how its never to Obama's credit, decision making, or policies.  It's the insecurity in the Middle East, it's potential war drums, it's speculators, it's the "polarising political enviroment", it's those damn Republicans preventing Obama from fixing anything.

In other words, anything negative, is due to anything and everything other than Obama.  I am counting the minutes as to the left starting to pull the notion that its "big oil" trying to inflate gas prices to thwart Obama's attempt at getting re-elected.  We "obviously" need a commission, to immediately look into this

Since you pretty much do exactly the opposite, it should all balance out. To you, everything is Obama's fault.

That was the left's playbook with Bush, wasn't it?  But to address your once again wrong claim, no its not
