Funny I thought the claim was Presidents don't effect gas prices?
Presidents can definitely affect the price of gas. The thing is, if you want to complain about the price of gas and blame the President, you kind of have to show how he is causing the rise or how he could lower the price. And so far, no "conservatives" are even attempting that.
How about the fact Obama has placed out of bounds 85 percent of the areas Bush allowed for drilling? Or that he nixed the Canada pipe line? Or that his policies prevent shale from being processed? How about the fact he has announced in the past his entire goal is to make gas so expensive only the rich can afford it, along with electricity and natural gas?
How about the fact his policies will cause over 100 coal fired electric plants to close which have to be replaced. How about the fact his policies are causing US refineries to close? Any of that ring a bell?
Ok. But if all that was having a negative affect on how much oil we are producing, then why are we producing more oil now than under Bush?
