The girl stated it could go down by 50 cents by election for Obama.

Not 1 word on World Recession causing to drop in Oil Prices.

Not 1 word gas futures went up 10% Friday.

My prediction is, gas prices will keep on dropping slowly but surely right up to election time. To help give Ocommie a 2nd term!Hope I’m wrong on that one!

They did the same thing in ‘08. I started a new job in September of that year, and I remember clearly the first time I fueled up at the “new” station near where I worked. I paid $3.39/gallon. By later that fall I was paying around $1.95.

looks like gas was at 1.85 per gallon when the illegal resident mooved into the white house in Jan of 2009

Great. Now it won't be as expensive to drive to the unemployment office.

Should be the Republican talking point, but it won't be.

Got any Romney drones out there???

Luckily I missed that GMA spin report, would prefer a dog-poo bagel to GMA any morning.

Did they mention that nobama’s bow-to-able Saudi friends were over pumpimg to help him out up to election time? No? How could they have missed that?

Those evil speculators are controling the oil again.
We must have more Gov regulation. /s


While Obama ducked and squirmed about the high prices lets watch Carney
give Zero the full oil rub, and praise the great one for lower prices.

Bad=Bush
Good=Obama

Every single election, you get people saying that gas prices are some kind of conspiracy to help the president. This come up, because gas prices always drop in the months leading up to presidential elections. Doesn't matter if it's a democrat or republican incumbant. It's just a fact of life. If you have a way of making money off the arbitrage, go for it. I wish I had the spare change for it, because it's a sucker bet. I don't know why prices always drop in the runup to national elections. Perhaps it is a conspiracy by the Powers That Be, though it doesn't make a whole lot of sense in that the PTB don't really care who wins because they own both horses in the race.

I could believe that it’s just a fact of life that gas price go up and down but with this administration I don’t trust them one bit! Ocommie will say and do anything to get re-elected. With these commies the ends always justify the means. I don’t take that lightly!That means they will lie,cheat, steal, tell half truths (in a subtle way of course), even manipulate.You don’t think that if he could manipulate gas prices he wouldn’t do it? We’ll see come November.

Well, I don't rightly know if it is one of Obama's minions that is manipulating gas prices. I tend to think not. I think such things are above his pay grade. More likely, it's just one of those in-your-face moves that it seems the PTB have been into for the last decade or so. I see it as being similar to the fact that during the last presidential election, both presidential candidates for the establishment party had eligibility issues, which effectively kept that off the table. I already have money riding on the fact that whomever Romney chooses as his VP, there will be similar questions there, even though there is pretty much zero likelihood of Mr. Establishment bringing it up during the election campaign anyway.

I mean really folks, are we seriously supposed to believe that someone as obviously manufactured probable muslim like Baraq Obama could be elected President of the U.S., less than a decade after 9/11 if it's weren't some kind of joke at our expense? i know that we're not supposed to notice such things, but don't you think this is enough example of having our noses rubbed in it?

On July 2nd, I paid $2.99 for a gallon of Regular. On July 3rd it was $3.29 everywhere.

It dropped by a penny here and two cents there, but we see a 30 cent increase in a single day? And all at the exact same price? This is not the normal “driving season” bump.

This really hit home when I saw the increase:
