Sorry bout that,
1. Obama could go to those producing oil and ask for discount.
2. And he could lean on the oil companies to lower the prices.
3. And he could eliminate the stupid blends idea, brought to market by he oil companies in order to raise prices.
4. Again, *Fuck Obama*!

My fucking god, for a guy claiming to be from Texas you are profoundly ignorant of how the oil business works.
Oil prices are, again, set on the international market. And it's not set by an oil company. So neither O'bama nor anybody else can go to Chevron and "ask for a discount".
Nor can he or any other POTUS dictate how oil companies market their products. Again, do you want to nationalize the oil companies and make it a government operation? Because that's the only way you're going to have this fantasy.
Is that what you want-- socialism? Just say so and stop beating around the bush.
There's something's you can do.
1. Cut the blends down to a few low co2 emitting kinds
2. Lower the taxes on gas
3. Allow more supply by opening up more oil fields
Let's let capitalism solve our problems as it has done thousands of times before . I believe that wind at least will keep growing without any problem so this shouldn't effect that so much. The electric car with the new batteries of 4 times the energy density will take over anyways as 2.50 gas can't out compete them...So I wouldn't worry.
One thing I'd do is demand a very low co2 emitting gas as the blends. I think this would be better then limiting supply within the short term. Don't you?
There's just no reason to hurt the poor anymore.
