Way To Go Obama, Highest Gas Price Recorded in March

it's my contention that Obama HAS made them higher through his anti-oil energy policy.....yeah, I think that pretty much covers it......

What "anti-oil energy policy" is that, PiMP? Be specific.

If "pro-oil energy policy" guarantees perennially low gas prices, can you explain why gas was $1.51 a gallon a gallon when Bush took office but increased to over $4.00 a gallon during his second term in 2008?

Seasonally adjusted US oil production dropped steadily from February 1986 until three years ago.

But starting in March 1986, inflation-adjusted gas prices fell below the $2-a-gallon mark and stayed there for most of the rest of the 1980s and 1990s.

Production between 1986 and 1999 dropped by nearly one-third.

If the drill-now theory were correct, prices should have soared.

Instead, they went down by nearly a dollar.

So you are still pretending that domestic production is depressed and gas prices are high because of Obama?

because the "drill now" action occurred in July 2008, AFTER the price went over $4 a gallon.....I thought you were paying attention.....did you forget that already?....then the price dropped below $2 a gallon, then Obama put the restrictions on drilling back and the price has been going up ever since.......

These "restrictions" are responsible for gas price fluctuations, then?

Explain.

So you can't explain.

how is it that in it's weakened state, the liberal mind hears "I have explained" to mean "I can't explain"?.....

the last one appears easy.....the overall trend of gasoline prices has increased except that brief period in 2008 starting with Bush lifting the restrictions on domestic production and ending with Obama reinstating them.......those two events are, of course, purely coincidental because no liberal would ever believe changing the supply could have an effect on price........

That's a little silly. Lots of liberals do well in business, and understand that with basic commodities, the supply/demand curve is applicable.

It's interesting, though - I wonder if you could find even one individual in the oil industry itself - liberal or conservative - would agrees with your assessment of why prices rose, fell & rose again.

My guess is no.

So where's the evidence that proves your contention?

lol.....oh look....it's sarcasm!......so you don't think I could find anyone in the oil industry that believes removing the restrictions on drilling would reduce the price?.......do you really think I could find someone in the oil industry who DIDN'T think that?......
 
PMP is such an intellectual lightweight.

I keep asking; can we please get a higher quality of conservative on the board?
