crash the US economy and make Obama look bad, but all the people who are likely Obama voters were smart enough to move on to smaller and more fuel efficient vehicles after the last two price spikes. The only people who are still tooling around in giant trucks and SUVs tend to be conservatives who are too stubborn to give up their giant vehicles.
Now, Big Oil and Republican SuperPacs are doing everything they can to manipulate oil markets, drive up gas prices and to try to make Obama look bad but in the process they’re doing twice as much financial damage to Conservative Republicans than they are to likely Obama supporters.


Yea it is very ironic… I mean hey, I’ve been daytrading stocks over this past year and watched barrels of oil go up up up down down down up up up… with minimal effect on the actual price of a gallon of gas at the pump. Seriously, had a neighbor even quiz me on this a few months ago. Seems very odd that all of a sudden.. as we head in to the election year… suddenly gas prices are peaking when I know damn well it has nothing to do with the price of a barrel of oil on the market.
‘Likely Obama supporters’ will likely support him regardless of anything else.
You are aware that oil is used for much MUCH more than gas, right? Your small cars are not reducing your grocery bill.
EDIT: So there are no petroleum derivatives in plastics? Fertilizers? The list goes on and on.
Oil is much more than energy.
Your little car is irrelevant.
lol… it’s always funny to watch them say “I drive around in my huge pickup all day” in global warming questions… not so funny now, is it cons?
oh no… Obama lost your vote that you never intended on giving him anyway because you can’t afford to drive you huge truck? lol
oh how disillusioned you are. More partisan party politics I see.
Oil…….. is going through the roof because Obama is beating the war drums with Iran. We, nor anyone cares where the oil comes from. Only that it keeps pumping.
Obama has created a problem through his own making.
They do not.
The market is too large for them to control.
oddly as production surges, there is demand for oil and gas. This increases prices.
You do realize that oil companies have no control over oil prices, right ?
Oil companies only control around 7% of oil production in the world
Nations control the other 93%
so basically you’re saying Obama isn’t capable of doing anything for himself…
….you know…you may be onto something…..seeing how broad his appeal is among those who can’t do anything for themselves either…
Silly liberal, I thought the conspiracy was repubs not hiring people because they’re racist and Obama is half-black.
Uh, could you dumb that down a bit for the conservatives here? That’s too much for them to comprehend.
yes and i think youre right
But it was Bush’s fault during his presidency, right?
