Expected to be well over $4.00 per gallon by Memorial Day and over $4.50 by Labor Day. Change ...yes. Change we can believe in? Well, not so much.

Use less

EXACTLY... Most of America will. And the trickle down will follow. It's the economy. Get it?

You wanted Change; that's why you voted for Obama. You elected Obama; you got Change.

Deal with it.

$4.24 was the high under Bush and he didn't have Israel threatening to blow up parts of Iran on a daily basis and Iran threatening to close the strait of Hormuz.

Not that any of that really matters to the g#@d$#@ speculators.

-------------------------
I was right.

Back up a step. Iran is threatening not only Israel and/or all of the Middle East with their possible ownership of a nuclear weapon, but Europe along with the rest of the world, too.

As far as sabre rattling goes, it's not just Israel talking war on Iran, but England and the USA, as well. And by the USA, we're not talking about a bunch of neocons or war hawks, but Mr. Nobel Peace Prize himself, Barack Hussein Obama.

Iran threatens retaliation by withholding oil from those European nations that continue with sanctions, thereby creating a supply and demand problem for the EU. Fewer supplies available to more customers means . . . c'mon, you know all about supply and demand, right? 

As far as Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz: Have you seen the armada we have positioned there? Just who do you think has the power to actually close it, or for that matter to keep it open? 

The majority of the UN condemns Iran for its plans to acquire a nuclear bomb; only Russia, and to a lesser degree China, are backing them, and that's a whole different level of geo-politics than any of us on NSR is qualified to talk about. 

Speculators? They're global, and they deal with and affect the price of any commodity you could possibly name.

it happens every year around this time. been on the planet long, or ....just don't pay attention? you need to de-sour before you sweeten.

Gas is to 8 dollars a gallon?

Well, other than trying to control/temper "security threats" (like Iran), just what do we think that the government of the U.S. can do about world oil prices?

On the other hand, perhaps the bird flu will help us by killing off a couple hundred million Chinese drivers?! Just hoping.

the last time gas was $4 per gallon, crude was over $140 per barrel

today gas is over $3.5 per gallon, and crude is around $105 per barrel

we're screwed

BTW-when it was $140 per barrel, we had more supply than we could store

N8crow, back then the dollar was worth a lot more than it is today. 

So, you are agreeing he is NO better than Busheik? Looking at Greensleeve's chart below it says just that. If obammer is no better than Bush and you hated Bush with all your heart, why do you vote for the bummer?

Since when does a president set the price of gasoline???

Certainly not defending the guy, he has proven to be as much of a liar as past presidents....

Understand that the President is but a puppet in the hands of the true rulers of men...

Hear, hear.

Also, let's pose the scenario to Mittens, Santorum or Newt: as president what actions would they take to ensure gas prices remain at $x.xx per gallon?

One caveat is that the answer cannot be to drill oil in everyone's back yard. As we have established, the oil speculation market is global, therefore, despite any increase in amount of oil coming from the USA, global speculators can still trigger a rise in crude prices...

And, is it possible, that these market manipulators may even be the ones to plant the seed in the SHEOPLE'S minds, that somehow, a freakin president controls gas prices???

Brevard Surf Report

High oil prices aren't Obama's fault. A sinking dollar might be in part his fault, but he himself has no control over the price per gallon at the pump. After all, insofar as he's running for re-election, he wants things to be good enough for him to brag about --you know, rising employment, ending the foreclosures, a chicken in every pot, those sorts of things. 

How the tide turns--a Lib view!
