How come Obama and the Dems(party of the people) arent adressing the rising oil and gas prices?

If you think things are bad now hows it gonna be at the end of the summer with 4 dollar gas prices. No stimulus is going to fix that.How come Obama and the Dems(party of the people) arent adressing the rising oil and gas prices?
last summer's price rise was the straw that broke the camel's back - triggered the economic meltdown.


it was caused by SPECULATORS.





you think they will try that again? i don't. it would finish off what has been started in this catastrophe.How come Obama and the Dems(party of the people) arent adressing the rising oil and gas prices?
I think they came into office with a whole lot of more immediate things to have to deal with--like keeping the US economy from collapsing completely. Pres. Obama has only been in office a little over a month--keep that in mind. Most presidents don't get anything done for months and months (if ever). The vastly fluctuating oil and gas prices are one of the reasons Pres. Obama is eager to get the US into more alternative power ways of living--so we won't be so dependent on whatever the oil-rich places (and oil-controlling people) want to charge. I'm sure the vastly fluctuating oil prices will be considered by summer--he probably has guys already looking into that whole good ol' boy network.
Blah...Blah...Blah...





The same Democrats predicted gas at $5.50 per gallon by Labor Day in '08. The sky is falling....quick....Obama's the only one smart enough, eloquent enough, and messianic to save us all...let's run to the great and powerful OZ...uh...Obama!





Oil is based on supply and demand, in case you didn't notice there's a global recession on, and gas is trading at about 1/4 of what it was at it's peak. We need to raise supply now, so when the recession breaks, the price increase will not go too steep.





Obama's answer...10 cents per gallon tax on fuel...that will be passed on to every American family through higher retail prices on food and other items. Oh...plus you gotta pay the 10 cents on your own fuel! Let's not drill for any of the oil we have...we might cause a bull moose to loose his ability to mate!





It's not a democrat/republican issue...it's a common sense issue of supply %26amp; demand. If there's a good supply of prosperity in the open market...there's no DEMAND for government to play ';Big Brother'; to everyone.





America was formed for individual liberty not collective social welfare!
The prices right now are still relatively low, especially compared to last summer and compared to other countries. Right now, Obama is killing the Dow and all private businesses and doesn't seem to care, and that is a much bigger concern. There is nowhere to invest money.
because they're owned by the environmental nut jobs! don't forget nuclear! wind, and solar are fine, but what are we supposed to do for a stop gap measure while these alternate sources are being developed, and incorporated in the retail pipeline? you're right about $4.00 or higher gasoline this summer!
What would you have them do? Invade an oil-rich nation? Oh, wait, we already tried that. Oil is a limited resource, and production in the continental USA peaked around 1970. The only thing that will make oil prices go down is reduction of demand.
Higher prices means more profits which means more taxes. They'll need $150 oil and $4 a gallon gas to help pay for all of spending they're doing..
because most who supported him ride public transportaion or steal they gas
No Stimulus will not fit a lot of things. IDK. I guess so much other B.S. is going on it is hard to say.
