Which experts? Please name them and state their qualifications to make such a judgement. Thanks so much.

Experts agree that the President of the United States doesn't have much control over the price of gas. Global demand drives the price of oil and gasoline. Facts mean nothing to antique disgusted people.

On Nov. 4, 2008, Election Day, the national average stood at $2.35 per gallon. On Jan. 20, 2009, the day of Obama's inauguration, the national average had dropped to $1.82, according to GasBuddy.com. Facts mean nothing to antique disgusted people.

It was $1.86/gl the last day of the Bush Presidency. It is called hyperinflation and is a combination of the progressives purposeful destruction of the economy to advance the green energy fraud and the digitization of the national debt. Enjoy and be sure and thank a democrat voter when you see them for this little added bonus. But hey, at least we have a cool leader that shoots golf, hoops, and rubs elbows with stars. That is all that matters, nothing else does.
