RENO, Nev. (AP) -- President Barack Obama announced Thursday that the Justice Department is assembling a team to "root out any cases of fraud or manipulation" in oil markets that might be contributing to $4 a gallon-plus gasoline prices.
"We are going to make sure that no one is taking advantage of the American people for their own short-term gain," Obama said at a town-hall style meeting at a renewable energy plant in Reno.
The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $3.84 on Thursday, about 30 cents higher than a month ago and almost a dollar higher than a year ago.

We're watching the metamorphosis of the American justice system into police state totalitarianism. Holder is Obamafurhrer's hatchet man.
Why have high prices when you can have shortages too?
Obummer! how about your benefactor George Soro’s has he profited from the increase. I guess if he funds 250,000,000 to your campaign you can look the other way.
Will the task force investigate the Federal Reserve and QE2?
Why not price controls? They have worked everywhere!/sarc
Per your request. :)
“And what are the task force’s findings?”
“The price of gasoline went up, Mr. President.”
“And why is this?”
“Well, it seems they have this electronic gizmo in the station where they punch a few buttons and then the price goes up.”
“Good work, good work. Pay the man Joe.”
Post what you will. . . but that is a change.
Yeah, Barry loves to dupe the easily duped.
Great, another report he can totally ignore.
I Sent an email to Barney Franks office on Monday asking him to find a way to enforce the Wall St regulatory bill cuz I need gas affordable to get to work. Nice to see he wrapped on O’s door abt it.
>>> Didn’t blame Bush
Give him another half day or two.
“root out any cases of fraud or manipulation” in oil markets
Are they going to investigate Hussein Obama giving 1 Billion $$$ to Brazil for oil drilling and then telling the Brazilians (with ties to Soros) that we will be your best customer.
Why bother to investigate when Obama and Holder can skip right to the conclusion? It’s the Hugo Chavez Solution.
Capitalism is Evil! We must nationalize the greedy oil companies and give the gasoline to The People. Line up for your Guarenteed Federal Ration coupons. (Government Union Members take the Waiver Line to the left.)
Simple as that.
Let me guess...................we can lower gas prices by taxing the rich! Yeah, that’s it. We have to have those tax hikes in place before the summer vacation season.
God forbid he does his job and root’s out fraud and manipulation in the federal government.
And after they Examine them they will have a News Conference announcing another one of Obamas campaign Predictions has been met,”My Energy Policy will necessarily cause Energy Policies to Skyrocket”! Thank you Mr. President for your Hopey Changey agenda,Oh Mr. President Thank You ,Thank You!4 More Years1 4 More Years so you can Complete the Job you started! Yes We can!!
I take this to mean that the price at the pump is not rising fast enough to suit Parasite Stroker.
”We are going to make sure that no one is taking advantage of the American people for their own short-term gain. Obama believes in swindling the public for long-term gain.
