"I predict by summer when the cost of gas production always goes up, Obama will drop to an new all-time low in approval numbers.."

You have to remember that the press was relentless in its negative stories when the fuel prices topped out in 2008 ("working people can't afford to get to work! Poor people can't afford to go to interviews! The tourism industry is devastated!").

With Obama in, we are seeing very, very few of these kinds of stories now, and that affects the attitudes of uninformed and uncritical voters, of whom there are millions.

That helps him but doesnt stop the hate at the pumps. Whenever I pump gas and there are people around I look at the prices and say what is obama doing about this.lol

Yeah and I bet those millions of "uninformed and uncritical voters" don't own automobiles or drive.

The stories we do see are about "evil big oil", price fixing, and horrible speculators. Obama will not be treated as part of the problem, rather part of the solution. He will be called upon, and will gladly oblige, to go after these terrible people.
