Re: Just filled up the Cutlass today...

by Latrans

Phoenix, Arizona. I last filled up at $4.699.

And I hate to disagree, but I highly doubt that it's just Obama, or even remotely Obama that's driving gas prices. There are a large number of factors that lead to increased prices, not the least of which is our willingness to pay. This is the primary reason I've been using my motorcycle for 99% of all my driving anywhere.

Also, considering the absolute tailspin our economy was in just four years ago, we've turned around pretty well. Consider, also, that it isn't just the US. Europe's having an even worse time than we are. The fact that the US is doing comparatively well, especially considering how closely tied our economies are, says a lot for the efforts made by our current administration.

That's not to say that I'm 100% Obama supporter. There are a LOT of things I absolutely hate about our current administration, the economy just happens to not be one of them.
