People ARE cutting back. Because the Kenyan has managed events that are raising gas to $7 a gallon, just as he said on the campaign trail back in 2008.

My son brought our old car, a small one to the station last night. $50 didn’t fill it. He doesn’t know how he’ll get to work this week.

Let’s see this slide off the “teflon” president. I saw a graph a couple of years ago, where Bush’s approval ratings exactly mirrored gas prices. I’ll be very surprised if obama gets by with this.

They're probably including some sort of free gas vouchers in the envelopes with the monthly Welfare checks.

All he has to do is keep his "base" happy, and the heck with all us evil rich (anyone with a job) people.

I'm guessing that the approval ratings polls will dry up faster than the Las Vegas streets after a rainstorm. Or at least the reporting thereof in the LSM.
