GOP's gas price politics could prove fleeting (Obama takes office $1.68, Obama now $3.88)

Exactly
There is no amount of lies and deception by Obama and his media that would decrease the high anxiety and anger of the majority of voters due to high gas prices and the high consumer goods prices caused by high gas prices

MSM says: Unhappy Public Not Sure Who To Blame For High Gas Prices
To: no dems
Im thinking that Obama will find a way to get those gas prices down before Election Day.
He could do this with a well-timed perp walk of some Grrrrrreeeedy Oil Speculators that would have the effect of collapsing the futures market.
In the short term, and for a very brief time, prices would fall. Then we'd be in a world of hurt going forward. So if this is his strategy, precise timing is everything.

That is what obama and the dims have to say but even with the turd candidates of the gop... obamao will lose and set new elections records for an old fashioned arse whuppin’. I just hope that Newt or Rick get the nomination because I really want to vote against that kenyan commie bastard.

One problem with your thinking... to be the man... you have to beat the man... and one must attack the dims on every issue and at every opportunity and their attacks on us must be met with counterattacks that are tenfold. IF obama and the dims had left Bush alone and always depended upon the public to interpret events (rightly or wrongly) and reason their own well being against those events... obama would never have been elected and the dims would never have swept the government in 2006... but “new tone” is surrender by another name... and it does not smell like a rose. One thing... we can destroy them with the truth but all that they have are lies. One more thing... Newt is the only candidate that will do what I have suggested... mitt and Rick have both vowed not to.

No, that would not do it! Greeeeedy Oil Speculators have lawyers who would get the targetted individual off the hook. Also, oil is traded on markets overseas. If the US futures markets become unavailable to oil speculators then they would switch to the Hong Kong exchange...or some other exchange. One other thing to remember...eventually (after driving season) oil and gas prices begin to recede because oil speculators react to the reduced demand and bid those prices down. 0bama would need those speculators to be in place and active when that time comes...if speculators are pi#&ed off at him they might not be willing to reduce those prices in September/October when he needs them reduced.
The truth of the matter is that much of the runup in oil prices is due to the Fed and ECB printing so darn much money. At this point, all that money printing cannot be undone.
