BazooQC Champion Author Montreal Posts:4,736 Points:673,455 Joined:Oct 2008	Message Posted: Jul 4, 2009 10:45:21 AM Ignore BazooQC Report Abuse The headline is wrong! We have been screaming to stop gas price manipulation for years and it seems prices go where the wind blows. Nobody wants to step in and actually do something about fluctuating gas prices. So, let's watch the gas prices fall out of control and then the rich oil barons will be the ones to scream.

Many theories but it all points to those who hold the gold make the rules. In the meantime, get a gas-sipper and drive as little as possible.
BurntOrange Champion Author Austin Posts:2,519 Points:613,840 Joined:Nov 2007	Message Posted: Jul 4, 2009 10:25:25 AM Ignore BurntOrange Report Abuse This is not news, this is a blog. "If President Obama wanted the price of gasoline to come down, all he has to do is announce that all oil drilling in the United States, including on shore, offshore and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, is a priority. Then, start announcing how many new wells start producing each month.: This is completely false. The US is already the #3 producer of oil in the world. The problem is that the US is, by far, the #1 consumer of oil. We cannot drill our way out of this, and we certainly cannot "announce" our way out of this. People who tell you otherwise are either ignorant or disingenuous.

Bat99 Veteran Author Denver Posts:370 Points:123,880 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Jul 4, 2009 10:18:46 AM Ignore Bat99 Report Abuse Obama and Congress are in support of higher fuel prices to enable their green agenda. They are using this and other issues to obtain more control of the electorate by the use of fear. This enables the Democrats to get control of the government with hopes of retaining that control far into the future. I believe there are no real Americans in Washington, only greedy, self serving, bureaucrats that would sell this country down the river for a song. God help us.

I also have a problemw with government instituting policies, such as high gas taxes, as a disincentive to automobile ownership. These are European ideas, and we're NOT Europe! We are America, where freedom of choice and personal liberty rule the day. To the Devil with Obama's socialist policies...

honda0105 Champion Author Tallahassee Posts:10,709 Points:627,400 Joined:Nov 2008	Message Posted: Jul 4, 2009 10:08:28 AM Ignore honda0105 Report Abuse one of the reasons why Obama is not having an issue w/ $4/gal is that this is the only way we can get moving forward in the quest for independence from fossil fuels. Who would want to find alternative energy sources if gas is at $1.50? Not profitable, let's face it!
