There is no way Obama will win if gas prices stay this high

[GusFring]

4.47 for regular is crazy. It may be nothing he can do about it, but he'll definitely get a lot of blame. It's just depressing going to the gas station.

Didn't Axelrod say oil was down?

[Odin2005]

1. Welcome and have a nice, short stay!

[Why Syzygy]

2. One

of my handful of RW facebook friends posted the same meme this morning. Did y'all get a memo?

[Arkana]

3. It's 3.76 where I live, enjoy your stay

[mike_c]

11. still $4.49 here....

Just sayin'. Wish we had your gas prices. Note, I am NOT the OP. Just corroborating the high cost of gasoline in northern California.

[Tarheel_Dem]

30. Sorry to hear about your gas prices, but CA is fertile Democratic ground. We Win there!

Gas dropped from $3.81 to $3.52, in a week and a half where I am. And the experts predict they'll continue to drop, gradually, because of decreased demand.

[The Magistrate]

4. Your Concern Is Noted, Sir....

[Solly Mack]

5. Codswallop

Obama WILL be re-elected.

[sharp_stick]

6. Shit man you're like a bad penny

no sooner do I think the gunk encrusted piece of junk is gone for good and someone hands it back to me.

Someone needs to post the ding ding video again.

[GusFring]

7. so being burdened by gas prices is a right wing talking point?

[Why Syzygy]

27. linking them to Obama re-election is

along with DEMANDING the LIBRUL media report it, Buster!

[Major Nikon]

51. Oh, so that was your claim?

I thought you were trying to say Obama is going to get the blame for it.

In fact, I'm pretty sure you did.

I find it somewhat disingenuous that you didn't include that relevant bit of information.

Just sayin'

[louis-t]

8. Yes, Axelrod said oil was down but....

Obama insisted the oil companies keep gas high just to punish us cuz he's a communist, socialist, Muslim who wants to kill yer gramma. Sheeesh!

[IDemo]

13. You left out -- Confiscate guns and bibles

[tallahasseedem]

9. It's $3.54

where I am in South Jersey.

Concern noted though.

[Mr Dixon]

10. SMH

Yawn Gas is already down, and OBAMA doesn’t control it any way!!!!!!!!!!!! I suggest you study the DU for about 3 months then post. The DU is very well informed no flame baiting allowed ROFL.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. It's still under $4 here

[MineralMan]

14. Balderdash!

However, I predict that you may not be able to reply to my post before long.

[MatthewStLouis]

15. Really!? It's $3.55 here in St. Louis, MO.

I was just wondering the other day, if Fox News has been been praising Obama for lowering gas prices. Hee hee. He's the one out there changing the price on all the signs you know.

[cthulu2016]

26. You know why the responses are this way?

Because whether you are or not you have every appearance of being a RW concern troll.

There are only two places in the US where the average price of regular gas is anywhere even approaching 4.47. Alaska and Hawaii. (Obama will lose Alaska no matter what, and win Hawaii no matter what.)

So it appears you are exaggerating, which suggests a motive to do so.

The national average for a gallon of self-serve regular is 3.73

[SpartanDem]

28. They could live CA

post # 11 say they paid 4.48 in northern CA

[demosincebirth]

47. In Fremont Ca., Mission Blvd exit on I-680, Shell station @ 4.49 a gal.

[The Magistrate]

29. Definite Whiff Of Pepperoni In The Air, Sir....

[Zalatix]

31. California is seeing prices at that level.

[cthulu2016]

33. Fair enough, since the averages are kept by state

The state average for California this week is $4.36 and there are probably in-state regions seeing higher.

I read that there is some kind of west caost refinery bullshit going on.

[Zalatix]

34. They're exporting gasoline.

[kestrel91316]

36. The west coast refineries always schedule their "maintenance" shutdown for

this time of year just to coincide with the increased demand of summer vacation. I can't for the life of me figure out why.

[The Magistrate]

42. Just The 'Invisible Hand', Ma'am....

[pinboy3niner]

39. Four CA refineries are shut for "maintenance" and some CA gas is going to WA

Refinery problems were the major cause of the supply problem on the West Coast, analysts said. California once had as many as 14 refineries producing the state's expensive blend of gasoline. But in recent years, the number has dropped to 12, according to the state Energy Commission.

Now, four of those refineries are shut temporarily, mostly because of maintenance.

As if that wasn't bad enough, BP is still struggling to reopen its Cherry Point refinery in Washington, where a fire caused a shutdown that began in March. That has forced some Washington gasoline suppliers to look toward California's limited fuel stocks to buy gasoline until Cherry Point refinery production is brought back online.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

17. But your guys

at Faux said low gas prices is bad ???

[xfundy]

18. Cheap frozen pizza for lunch?

yuk.

[Yavin4]

19. You Should Have Voted for Newt

He was going to get you $2.50 gallon. Oh well.

[Ghost in the Machine]

20. Gas has come down over 35 cents/gallon in the past week here in East Tennessee

It went from $3.79/gal for regular to $3.43/gal, and that's out here in the sticks. I was in Chattanooga the other day and saw one station where it was $3.36/gal...

Several months ago it dropped like that, and I actually bought some for $2.95/gal. I hope it keeps going down, too...

Peace,

Ghost

[abolugi]

21. You forgot to add

the talking point of "gas was 1.87 under BOOSH"

(Which anyone who is informed knows was because the bottom dropped out of the economy)

[onehandle]

22. I paid $3.30 while driving through Virginia yesterday. The Grand Oil Party...

...stopped talking about gas prices weeks ago. And for good reason.

[LaurenG]

23. Why not George Bush won in-spite of high gas prices, being a lying sniveling snake and being a war

criminal.

[Swamp Lover]

24. GusFring is on to something that we should not ignore.

Particularly since Romney has a life time of looking at for the little guy, standing up against big corporations that are out to screw us....

Yeah, I know...I was laughing the whole time I was typing.....

[savalez]

50. tee hee

[KansDem]

25. I think I paid $3.36 just this morning in Kansas City, Missouri

That's down a bit from the last few weeks...

Oh, wait...I forgot the "mil": $3.369

[LibertyLover]

32. I didn't even pay that much

for premium when gas was at its most expensive a month or so ago. Give me a break.

[kestrel91316]

35. Thank you for your concern.

[DFab420]

37. OH look...this thread again.

[Romulox]

38. Unemployment is way more significant, imo. nt

[WilliamPitt]

40. I'm concerned.

[sinkingfeeling]

41. Well, here it's dropped from $3.79 to $3.33 in the last month or so.

[Jazzgirl]

43. Uh.......right.

[WI_DEM]

45. No, No this was the GOP talking points in March--Gas prices are actually falling

or maybe you haven't noticed.

[CatWoman]

46. and what exactly would Romney do about gas prices?

[spanone]

48. only a stupid would pay such prices, don't u thing?

[Dawson Leery]

49. $3.89 and dropping in CT.

Bye.

[Tennessee Gal]

52. $3.41 and dropping here. nt

[Blue_In_AK]

53. A gallon of gas is $4.35 in Anchorage,

It just went up $.12 overnight for no reason at all. We really get jacked up here.

[0rganism]

54. That's last month's talking point.

What you're looking for now is, "the falling gas prices are bad for the economy, so Obama's gonna lose."

Please, try to keep up.

[Bake]

55. I paid $3.55 a couple of days ago in Louisville.

The highest I paid here in the last few months was $4.05. So it's DOWN $0.50.

What are you smoking?
