Democrats are truly the blame for rising gas prices

NEW YORK (AP) -- The price of oil is poised for another run at $100 a barrel after a global economic rebound sent it surging 34 percent since May. That could push gasoline prices to $4 a gallon by summer in some parts of the country, experts say.

Flying, shipping a package and ordering a pizza all likely would get more expensive in the new year if that happens and companies pass along higher energy costs. Some economists say rising energy prices will slow economic growth.

The U.S. is the world's largest oil consumer, but prices since spring have been on a roll primarily because of rising demand in developing countries, especially China. China's oil consumption is expected to rise 5 percent next year; that compares with less than 1 percent growth forecast for the U.S.

Remember Obama promised he would allow oil drilling in Atlantic Ocean across the eastern seaboard? But the BP disaster made him put an halt to it all. We have more oil here than in Saudi Arabia. But liberals and evoinmentalist forbid you do offshore drilling and Drilling in ANWR. We all know the BS from BP on wikileaks site. BP Sabotage the rig so they can get more greedy at $4 or $5 a gallon. They knew the Drilling in America would bring oil prices down.

This is why Tea Party must get more powerful get more members and Kill the Democratic party once and for all and we can finaly drill oil in America and become forgein independent so we dont do business with the middle east. Theyre 240 Republicans in House the Next Election will put over 300 republicans in the House and then we can have the America back the way it was when our founding fathers had it. With 300 Republicans What are Liberals and Evoinmentalist gonna do about it when Republicans approve drilling in ANWR and Offshore drilling both in the atlantic and pacific. And What are they gonna do about it when GOP approves they build more refineries? You see Democrats are responsible for high gas prices. The Thing is our government is lying to us. There is no Global Warming,, There are no Greenhouse polution. And ANWR offshore drilling are no threat to wildlife and the evoinment. Liberals and Evoinmentalist want America to become another 3rd world nation like Haiti and Jammaca for example by making food and engery very expensive.

yes the dems have insured that the US does not participate in the global recovery but we do get to pay more for oil. and the insistence on inhibiting growth in domestic energy only makes it all worse.

if obama has his way we'll be Zimbabwe bu the time he's done.
 
The real reason for high oil prices right now is pure speculation by traders..oil will be coming down soon...REALLY..

Darned Democrats, calling for higher CAFE standards, advocating for conservation of petroleum, what's the matter with them, anyway? If they'd just let Detroit keep building big V 8s with tail fins, why, cars would use more gas and... what's that? Supply and demand? You mean that oil prices are somehow affected by supply and demand?

Well, if they would just let us drill.. Huh? What's that? World production? You mean we don't just drill our own and sell it domestically? Really?

But there's that deep water drilling in the Gulf... What? Biggest disaster yet? Oh, yes, I remember that now.

Oh, well, never mind. Pretty soon, there will be a Republican president, then we can blame him (or her) for high gas prices.
 
When Sarah Palin becomes President youll see Jobs all over her state. These Jobs

I don't think oil will exactly fall all that much until the dollar starts to regain its strength.

I think oil is still a good investment currently.
 
Gas Prices where what like a buck , to 1.50 in the 90's with some Dem in office...and hit over 4 bucks under that Oil man Bush...and now its like 3....Its Obamas fault!

ignorance is astounding

Another one of those things that just COINCIDENTALLY happened when bubba clinton was office, with which he had no connection whatsoever, but for which leftwingers want to give him credit. :D

Of course higher gas prices are not Obama's fault directly.

But let us not forget that even under "oil man Bush", gas prices really did not get into the $2.00 range until 2005 either.. well into his Presidency.
 
Newsflash to partisans on both sides:

The POTUS does not control the price of gasoline!

Really! Nowhere in the Constitution does it mention controlling the price of anything in the section dealing with the executive branch.

You are of course correct, but the the President can play a role in actions that effect the value of the dollar, or theoretically limit supply etc, which would have a round-a-bout effect on the ultimate price of gas.

That said, the President is certainly never solely responsible for the price of gas, you are correct.

The declamping of oil from fundamentals makes it a gambling casino with house rules.

Part of the oil path problem is the gov lack of any energy policy. Anytime gov starts taxing to fix the price of some commodity higher, it wrecks the dynamics of the market. Corn is a great example in the gov quest to make ethanol. Ethanol creates a 55000 btu deficit for every acre raised for ethanol. That is the diesel used to grow the corn is greater than the production of ethanol by BTUs.

Wind mills solar panels all have negative BTU profiles. They call them renewable sources but the lesson learned from Germany and Spain is that the wind turbines fell far short of their productive life expectancy and had to be replaced or repaired losing all of the projected cost benefits of renewable energy. Apparently nobody in the Obama administration does math.

We have gluts in oil, gluts in natural gas, gluts in coal and the obama administration can't get it together enough to see that the greatest stimulus to the economy would be cheap energy, not these adventures in solar panel tax credits.

Cheap energy is what makes businesses expand. Energy in China is cheaper than the USA. China's stimulus plan included 34 nuclear power plant and they have 300 more on the drawing boards.

Cheap energy makes consumers feel like spending.

So when policies by gov raise the price of energy, don't do math, and incentivize BTU inefficient technologies, the economy contracts. The hype explodes of course and companies start wasting money chasing gov tax credits. We need nuclear power plants not wind turbine farms.

Obama knows very little about the physical world, in fact, to me he doesn't seem to know much about anything. He is the wrong person at the wrong time... But I would say that McCain would have been equally lost and inept. This is the same old story. It takes a lot of brains to build a nuclear weapon but how much brains does it take when you turn their control over to the politicians, the intellectual bottom rung?

I can tell you that the present oil pump was not beneficial to the Christmas consumer but I also believe this is just a pump and dump and will be short lived. But this gives hedges a great opportunity to short retail if they can push oil up and kill the consumer.

I always compare petroleum equivalents and we have a big gap between Natural Gas and Oil.... silver and Gold too. For me this would place oil at about $46 bbl. Of course that would be wonderful for both business and the consumer. But the Obama administration is conceptually out to lunch and they don't do math very well.

actually I don't give him credit for it...as he had little to do with it..just like Obama does today, and Bush..did not have a whole lot to do with it as well.

But its typical to see Obama is at fault when its bad ( its not even bad) but Clinton cant have any credit for if its good...

because logical...if your a Dem..you are responsible for all bad and never any good..right?

I don't necessarily disagree with anything you said... My point is just that looking at the market the way that it is, I am not convinced currently that oil is a bad investment.
