    There isn't a hell of a lot a President can really do about gas; unless there is some causation that can be shown there, I wouldn't be inclined to credit Obama.

    That said, I would like to hear from everyone who has said that Obama is destroying the economy & America on what they think of 7 key economic indicators rising in June...

    Obama doesn't have anything to do with the prices going up or down.
    McCain to Obama. "If you don't like our bill, send troops to help us."

    Obama, himself attempted to filibuster Justice Alito, who now sits on the Supreme Court.

    Same with the economy, if you are talking about a 6 month time period.

    that's some real desperation there..

    when Bush was President and gas went down, they would say he was kissing the Saudis butt to do it...

    Presidents have very little control over the economy. It becomes a problem when they start meddling in it.

    Dude you are looking at a year change in gas prices while Obama has only been in office six months.

    This graph is only for San Francisco but I would surmise it can't be too far off the curve for the rest of the country. Gas is $4.61 in June 2008 and then $2.04 in January 2009 and is $2.90 today. So gases prices have actually risen under Obama.

    Since you wanted to give him credit when you thought it dropped under his watch do you want to blame him now?
