It looks like poor Peggy the Moocher actually believed that Obama would lower her gas prices
Peggy the moocher at Obama rally:”Obama Is Going To Pay For My Gas And Mortgage!!!”(Oct 31, 2008 )
Ever wonder where Peggy the moocher is now after thinking Obama was going to fill her tank for free ??? With gas prices skyrocketing he tells poor Peggy to sell her SUV and buy a hybrid. How the hell is Peggy going to fit her 12 children in a hybrid ( question to Obama)? Heck, she even lost her part-time job under his new economy and has no money for a bus trip let alone a hybrid.

But if you don’t have to pay for it, you don’t really care what it costs, right?
Seriously, there’s no comparison between Europeans driving 75 miles a week in small, efficient, no-weird-gas blend, high-compression friendly vehicles and Americans driving 300 miles a week. If gas goes to even five in “flyover country”, there will be some serious hardship. As it is, I’d like to know how younger/lower-level workers are making it, spending about 1.5 hours of after-tax wages every day just going to work. Car pooling and buses are simply not going to work in much of America, and there doesn’t seem to be any way to explain this to people who have probably never been outside of the exurbs except at several thousand feet overhead in an airplane.
