Obama dosen't give crap about the gas prices and what it doing to our dwindling incomes based on his pro -enviro -green polices. He just doesn't want it to happen when he's running for Czar of America. He has publicly said he wishes it didn't happen all at once. Toss his skinny rear end out in November and gas will DROP the very next day.

comment to Alex,

What more would we have Obama do about gas

prices ? .Well he should stop kissing the ring of the Arabic shrikes , as televised, terrible thing for a american president to do, shameful .

However, this shrike did help to get Obama elected, he being the 2nd richest man in the world, not to mention the others.

So get head out of your liberal ass and please wake up. Do you know Obama stopped the new oil pipeline recently in Neb. where 20,000 jobs were lost and the price of oil rose as a result.

And by the way he could not make pancakes, he's to stupid.

Obama does not "feel" our pain. How can he? With all the extravagant parties at the White House and many, many expensive over the top vacations.....Is he a King? The main stream media does not press him on the gas prices like they did to Bush because they are wimps and afraid of repercussions. You have to love the way Mr. Walsh carefully words his article......

"The left hates this country" that is the only reason that I can come up with for: Why there are no jobs, why our manufacturing is all overseas, why we don't drill for domestic oil....and don't give me the crap we need more exploration....we know where it is, the oil companies know where it is...it is our Government and this administration that stops it. Lies, lies and more lies. And the main stream chicken media knows this.

This President sucks, period.

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't try and nationalize the oil industry, it would be par for the couse.

Alexof NY, I hope you were saying the same thing when President Bush was in office and all the libs were claiming that he and his oil buddies were taking advantage of the American people.

I am also sick and tired of the people complaining about the oil companies exporting gasoline overseas. We should be a huge exported of oil and gas. The United States has as much if not more oil that the Saudi’s, but because of a mouse, a tree, or whatever we have not developed our own resources, shame on us.

I say let the US become the refinery for the world, do you have any idea how many good paying jobs that would create? Even if the government added a user fee, export fee, or any other type of fee, which would fill the federal coffers, gas would still be lower in price for the US. The question to ask is when was the last time the US built a new refinery? Also ask yourself this question, why does the US put our economic wellbeing in the hands for foreign countries that hate us?

How dumb are we?

As President, what more would you have Obama do? Fix you pancakes for breakfast?

Don't have blind hatred for this president.

Do your research, the unspoken truth, by both parties is that gas prices are being spiked by Wall Street speculators.

You think Mitt Romney, Newt, or Rick Santorum is going to change that?

Obama feels our pain, all right!

....so much that he sent Michelle and his daughters on a luxury Aspen ski trip.

With the economy on its knees, many American families have had to forgo their annual holiday just to make ends meet. But barely a month after returning from a luxury Christmas break in Hawaii Michelle Obama is on holiday again - this time at the exclusive Colorado ski resort of Aspen.

So, here I am, worrying that I'm about to lose my house to foreclosure, and Obama sends his little family on ANOTHER luxury holiday!

What's this has to do with the price of gas, you ask...?

Obama, the gas bag, is full of it!!!

Anybody but Obama, 2012!
