Not sure if it's political per se, but the gas price is a political issue.

I don't see how it's a political issue at all. They're protesting against the prices charged by their supplier. How is the business dealings between two private parties a political issue?

The price of gas should not be a political issue. It is a global commodity, global trading determines the price.

I couldn't see Obama doing this....not now. He isn't stupid, and if this is true, it does NOT look good on him! He could do something, if he wants. Just wait....i don't believe he wants the prices this high right now. If he's re-elected, there's no telling where the price will go!

The price of a tanker of crude oil is on a global commodity basis.

Refined gasoline is more complicated.

Sort of like the difference between the price of corn, and the price of tortillas.
