Gary in TX, you're pathetically out of touch. To blame gas prices on any one person(president) is just lame. Crude oil prices are set on the world market, NOT within our borders or by our leaders. The biggest reason for the increase in crude is the increased usage by China. Their economy is growing so fast and at this point have no concern for environmental issues, that they are now the biggest consumer of oil in the world. Also, even at $3.00+ per gallon, the U.S. continues to enjoy the lowest gas prices in the world. Most European countries are around $6.00+ per gallon. I don't like paying $3.00 a gallon either and yet I, like everyone else still drives everywhere increasing the demand. If it makes you feel better to pick a politician and place sole blame for everything on them then go ahead, but you look pretty foolish to everyone else.
