The price of gasoline is damaging not just Americans' finances and mobility -- but the public's broader economic sentiment, and with it, Barack Obama's re-election prospects.


You wish...laugh laugh :tongue:

Gas prices have been going up forever. They go up and down and down and up.

It is all politics.

There is no gas or oil shortage.

Big business controls those things.
Okay JB, no I don't wish, lol... I didn't write the article.


Okay so you didn't write the article, but you are spreading the rumor.

A rumor is a story or report of uncertain or doubtful truth, this is DEFINITELY true! No matter the type of spin you put on it, it won't make it go away. The data was gotten from the US Dept of Energy, by this reporter. It's highly doubtful the info is incorrect.

i bet Obamas gas smells better than Georges,thats why it cost more.



It doesnt cost more, gas prices FLUXUATE, in June of 2008 , under BUsh , the price of gas was more than it is now

ITs a smokescreen issue, that has little to do with the presidency (not nothing to do with it, but little enough to be irrelevant)


"Political support usually rests heavily on economic performance, and there the sharply rising price of gas is taking its expected toll. Economic pessimism -- the number of Americans who say the economy is getting worse -- has doubled this year to 44 percent, and it rises to 54 percent, among those who report serious financial hardship from gas prices."

It looks as though it will be pretty relevant this election. Maybe it wasn't relevant in previous years because it wasn't as large of an issue. People can't afford to put gas in their cars to go to work is not relevant? Pretty relevant I'd say.




Its not so relevant this far away from an election, considering how QUICKLY gas prices can change.

It is verified by multiple sources (some of which I posted). To call this story a rumor is silly, at best.

The fact that it has already damaged Obama's chances for re-election is widely acknowledged by Obama's supporters.

Don't get me wrong; I don't have a seething hate forum like others on this forum. It really just puzzles me how some of his supporters seem to think he can do no wrong, no matter the evidence that blatantly proves otherwise. He's human.
