If gas prices continue rising, I don't see how Obama keeps the White House. Yesterday, I noticed that the prices jumped in my area. About 10 cents in a week to an average of about $3.85 for regular. However, I did find one station that sold gas for $3.73 and counted my "blessings" although that price is about 50 cents more than in December. Hopefully I will soon get some coupons soon that will allow me to score FREE gas like I did last autumn. Man, that felt good. About an entire month of driving around with a full tank of FREE gas.

Anyway, if gas hits $5 per gallon in a few months as they predict, Obama will have extreme trouble remaining in office. Too many people get pissed off about the price of gas.

Too much is being placed on the impact of gas prices. Obama's already pushing for higher taxation on the oil companies. With the mood of the country morphing into class envy, he'll exploit it into an "us-vs.-them" mindset vs. "Big Oil." Also, a well-timed, albeit token, drilling approval, along with an SPR release will drop those prices significantly enough to fool the sheep.

Remember... American voters as a whole are not critical thinkers. They act based on what they see at face value.

Never underestimate the power of large numbers of stupid people.

Much of his voter base doesn't own a car, so they don't care about the price of gasoline, and the unemployment rate in their families has been 100% for generations, so they don't care about that either.
