Gas prices were $4.21 a Gallon under Bush- So why is Obama to Blame for Gas Prices today ?

Apparently you don't eat. Or if you do, it's at the taxpayer's expense.

It's interesting you mention the Pentagon. A side note in regard to the Twin Towers: It's extremely unlikely a diffuse fire of the sort that occurred in NYC would burn hot enough to melt structural steel.

In short, puddles of burning jet fuel, exposed to air, do not burn at 1500 degrees C, the temperature needed to turn structural steel into Jello, despite what Congress would have you believe.

But hey, what do I know? I just worked with jet fuel on a daily basis as a member of our Armed Forces.

I trained guys like you on the ARF trucks. the ones infront of the pentagon were not being used properly for a plane crash/fire.

And how about buiding 7 committing suicide?

You don't understand how fire works then I don't think.. The house/office you post from would easily burn that hot.. There was more than jet fuel and steel inside those buildings. Any and all carpeting, cubicle dividers, computers, office chairs, papers, wiring, insulation... The fire load in there was tremendous.

Once flashover occured temps were probably close to 3000 degrees. Add in the fact they were so high in the air the wind would basically turn that building into a blast furnace.

the same armed forces that Obama and the DNC keep disgracing? how did you feel when he said "Marine Corpse"? Or when, while doing a tribute to OUR service men and women, they had pictures of RUSSIAN naval ships then blamed the printers for the mistake? Or apologizing for our terrible behavior all over the Middle East and not standing up against them blowing up our Embassy?

You are a disgrace, propagandist,and an ignoramus. Let me guess-- obama was born in Kenya too? Wait global warming, evolution, and the Big Bang are liberal lies that physicists, paleontologists, biologists, geologists, geneticists, and cosmologists all around the world have been making up for all these years. Uh, hum. Most scientists, educators, and artists are liberal and that leaves who as conservatives?? Average ignorant joes, corporate executives, and religious leaders. Yikes. No wonder why there is a negative coorelation between conservatism and intelligence (and education level too). He mispronounces a word and you invite people to read something more into it. Your dispicable display of propaganda leads me to one prediction: I'd bet my left nut you are religious. Most likely Christian. Am I right?

It's also extremely unlikely that steel would need to melt into a puddle before it stops supporting tons of weight.

Outing yourself as a truther... might as well just stamp "IDIOT" to your forehead.

What the heck are you saying MIKEY! I lived in East Village I heard the plane fly over my apartment building, I ducked, saying to myself, "planes don't fly this low!" I ran outside and saw another plane crash into the world trade.. You're one of those people who have to see it to believe it,, must be the trauma you had when you found out there was no Santa Clause,,, you're a real jerk!!! When I was standing below south tower , I watched the part that was really burning, then it buckled, and fell.. nothing manmade is 100%. I can't be civil to someone as stupid as you!!!!!!! And it wasn't just puddles of jetfuel,, these were planes just beginning their journey, so they were loaded, and...... the plane and fuel was in the middle of these buildings creating an extreme heat,, and I'm a flight attendant, I have a friend who had a dear friend on American Airlines plane.. geesh,, you have me steamed!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shame on you!!!!!

I subscribe to Oil & Gas Journal. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know how the fossil fuel industries REALLY work.

It's because this 'never had a job' idiot in my WH does NOT let the free market system work, imposes oil and gas hate-Ameica regulations and floods the economy with money no one can spend. He's an idiot. Lesson learned America. Never vote in another hate-Aemrica socialist as POTUS, especially one that is as stupid as Obama and his useful idiots he hires.

Daddy didn't give you your allowance?

?????? What's with the derogitory remark ?? can't you do better to debate and opposing view point?

I too have a very STONG knowledge of the working in the petrolium industry. I will agree to state there are many issues with it.

I have never paid $4 a gallon. It wasn't that high with Bush.

The chart for gas prices is right there in the post. Gas was above $3 a gallon most of his last term and spiked at $4.21 right before the economic crash.

I haven't paid $4 or more for gas yet. Maybe some other states did. California is always good for high gas prices.

That was the national average.

ok. I never paid that much.

Your faulty memory does not change facts. http://zfacts.com/p/35.html

My memory is not faulty. I simply said I haven't paid that much YET. I remember well when we got that big spike all of a sudden and it hit people like a ton of bricks. That was when people started stealing gas. It doesn't matter enough to me to go and find when that was, but it wasn't because it went up as high as what is being discussed here.

President Obama is to blame because he has not nationalized the oil companies. They are exporting more oil and gas than we import, because other countries are willing to pay higher prices than we pay. The only way to stop them from doing this is to tax exports, which republicans would block, or to nationalize the oil companies. He could nationalize them, but hasn't. He is to blame, not the oil companies themselves, who are only trying to make a profit, and not the Wall Street speculators, who are only patriotic capitalists, even if they hardly pay any taxes.

Patriotic capitalists! Do you know what an oxymoron is?

Sigh.

Just as it would take an Act of Congress to tax exports, so too would it take an Act of Congress to nationalize the oil companies.

Yes. It is crazy that President Obama is getting theblame for the high prices.

Obama has circumvented Congress his entire time in office with all his secrecy, Executive Orders and signing statements. He is a lousy president--without having to compare him to any other president or administration! I do not vote "party lines", nor do I choose to like or dislike any based on their party...but on their own record. And Obama's record sucks at best---and is criminal at worst. I guarantee you that at least 95% of his "supporters" receive some form of government assistance.

You are a very ignorant individual. 95% of his supporters receive some sort of government assistance. Do u have children? I pray NOT ! Then that would mean that in addition to yourself, you have unleashed more ignorant individuals into the world. Who are the 95%, the elderly, our injured veterans coming back from the pointless wars Bush put on the credit card, or maybe its those lazy, good for nothing black ppl that are to stupid/or lack your obvious intelligence to go to work but instead rather live off the government, cause the government is paying so well. I have had it with trash like you making those kinds of comments. Being a Democrat, I suggest you take some lessons from a very respectable Republican, John Mccain. There are fundamental differences between the two parties, but comments like yours are so disgusting, I now feel like I should not even have given you the time of day. You don't even matter. For your sake, I hope you never get old cause I expect you to tell the government u don't want your SS, or your Medicare. And God forbid, you fall on hard times, I'm sure u can guarantee your life will forever be wonderful. Ppl like you take us right back to the 40s, 50s and 60s. It's a disgrace. Oh and by the way, I have two degrees, my sister and all my cousins and the ppl we associate with are not receiving assistance from the government, we all decided, they don't pay enough! We'd rather work! You and your racist remarks need to find a very deep hole and jump in!

If you knew how gas prices were set, you would know that Libya and Iran have little impact on raising prices.

Look at the spikes- they are exactly when Libya and Iran started acting up. The charts do not lie but you do!

We don't get oil from Iran or Libya. Greed is responsible fr raising prices. Libya and Iran are just excuses and Obama isn't doing anything the rising of gas prices.

We get most of our oil from Saudi which is right next door to Iran and Syria. Any threat in that area threatans our oil supply.

Obama can not set gas prices. That would be regulation against the free market that you guys are always screaming about.

But Iran and Libya have not affected the supply, yet the prices have gone up. I believe the Gov needs to set oil prices to protect the economy. Obama doesn't want to do that.

yes they have- look at the graph- the spikes are exactly after the trouble in Libya and now in syria and Iran.

You want government running oil businesses- you don't sound like a conservative that's for sure!

His political affiliation is irrelevant.

He is correctly pointing out that those spikes you reference are not the result of any drop in the supply of oil, but rather pure speculation on the part of Wall Street and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

We get most of our oil from Canada. Obama still hasn't open the gulf for drilling even though the courts have ordered him too. He is also stalling on the pipeline from Canada. Yes, Obama IS to blame.

By 2008 we were under three $ per gallon. And the MSM was raising holy hell that GW couldn't get it under $2. Besides, the Fed's under BHO have increased the tax on gas by over .25 per gallon. That may be one reason peoplr are mad.

Not really- gas prices were above $4 under bush and rising right up until the crash.

There has been no increase in Fed gas tax yet so where did you get that information ?

Newsweek, last June issue.

Oh OK sure!

They keep them at Libraries, you know.

I do know- but I will bet you haven't ever been in one!
