The fact of the matter is, up until 2012, when adjusted for inflation, we were paying $.06 more per gallon under Obama than Bush. Since 2012, that's changed.
Now, the President has no direct effect on gas prices, not just this president, all of them. Do their policies and rumors of policies influence things? Without a doubt. In the end, however, when people feel they are paying too much for gas, they look for someone to blame. They look to the guy in charge and that's where the lay blame.
It was true of the left when Bush was in office, it's true today for Obama.
You don't like it? Should have kept your yap shut when Bush was in the Big Chair. What comes around goes around.
Personally, I'm tired of people blaming any president for the price of gas...
**** knows there's enough shit he's fucked up we can blame him for...
