Obama hits Americans when they're down

[Sallow]

People know that the president has practically no way to effect oil prices either way but that doesn't stop other people from trying to convince them otherwise. If Obama were to address the people and problems that really manipulate oil prices higher he would be a monstrous socialist, give it a rest.

Well he sorta does..the National Reserve.

And odds are that he will open it before the election to ease prices..if things go south in the Middle East.

Well there is that, when it has been done in the past it dropped the price just a little and Wall Street speculators had a cow.

Prices will go down before the election. You can bank on that. Happens no matter who is sitting in the White House.

Fucking Repubs are stupid beyond belief.

Protect tax breaks for the oil companies at all costs. But when the price of gas starts going up, and consequently the profits of oil companies will hit record levels, the Repubs want to complain.

You all for capitalism or not? This is your free market at work. WTF is wrong with you Rethugs?

Production is up because the price is up

Which kinda blows the OP's theory to shit.

Nope, that was a US production chart, not a global one idiot. We need more oil than that. Obama is making it difficult for us to get that oil. Shame on him.

 

[Decepticon]

Anti Oil?
Then why has production INCREASED under his watch?


KAPOW!

ONE SHOT INSTA KILL!

Price is going up. Nice chart, may you enjoy it with the higher prices.

Funny, you weren't complaining about oil PRICES. You said Obama was ANTI OIL.
Now, do you want to surrender your point that Obama is anti oil and discuss whether he can control the price of gasoline?

RepubliCONS voted to CUT the budget of the people who investigate speculation in the oil markets by 1/3rd last year. So you apparently have NO PROBLEM with paying MORE for gasoline due to rich people speculating in the oil markets and driving up the price for no other reason than they can.

That Obama is crushing the life out of the dollar and causing the price of oil to rise?

Seriously? You didn't know that?

Ah...is he also using fluoride to corrupt our body fluids?

Stop the presses!

Obama bashers need to remember the arguments they used when prices spiked under GWB and give it a rest. I wanted so bad to blame it on Bush but the stark reality of the petro economy just didn't allow it.

Gallon of gas when obama took office: $1.79

Gallon of gas after three years of obama: $3.57


End of story.

OBL is dead

Iraq war is over

Economy is improving

people dont get kicked off their insurance for getting sick

Your running a pack of clowns with heavy baggage on top the clown car.

Your mind is just to simple to understand more than ONE thing at a time.

Rising oil prices slow the economy, hurt jobs, could bring inflation and makes food more expensive.

Refusing Keystone, promoting higher oil prices to make green fuels more attractive, suspending exploration and using EPA rules to make more refinement facilities harder.

Bullshit. You people's comical obsession with Keystone is getting to be an old joke.

Keystone would have no effect on supply for quite some time. As to your other nonsense..it's well..just that.

Nonsense.

And the producers can manipulate supply any time they want if its in their interests.

Remember the BP oil spill? Remember what BP was doing when that well blew up? They were CAPPING IT. They weren't even going to put it on the market at that time.

[WillowTree]

All of Obama's anti-oil policies and political decisions are going to really hurt the middle class with these higher gas prices. Why does he want us to be poorer?

That's a good question but you'll never get an honest answer.

Wells get capped because production costs exceed product income. Much of that cost comes from government policy. Obama is to blame.
