That must be some terrible place you live in.

You need to move.

No need. Mitt Romney will lower my gas prices soon enough.

The fact is that the president has almost no control over gas prices. The reason that they will be going down is because production was very high in the summer, and now demand is low.

That guy thinks that Jesus lived in America and was named Joseph Smith.  I'm just saying...

And Obama thinks he is Jesus.

(It's Joseph Smith, btw.)

I just can't believe there is no law to regulate gasoline prices, and this is one of the biggest monopolies. Even though they try very hard to give the illusion that it isn't. Make a maximum profit margin per gallon sold regulated by the government. I just can't believe no company wants to make so much money and sell gasoline for less than its competitors. Stupid agreements ruin everything, by a bunch selfish f**ks who only think about their bottom line.

There actually is, it's called the Dodd-Frank Act. Part of it limits oil speculation, which is a major reason for high gas prices. However, that part of it hasn't been implemented yet due to courts holding it up.

I changed it after realising I made a mistake.  John Smith was in Pocahontas, wasn't he?     

All politicians think they're Jesus...

Everyone was in Pocahontas. How do you think she got that name?

No it doesn't...

All you need to look at is any of the science done on the numbers... and you'll see it's got nothing to do with speculation.

 

Oil and Gas prices have risen... because demand for Oil has risen... and production hasn't risen by as much.



I don't get the obsession over gas prices.

We will need to replace gasoline anyways. Shouldn't it be good that it increases, so other alternatives can compete more easily?



I LOVE ICELAND!

Well done.  Keep up the good work.

OT  I honestly don't have a clue as to who is going to win and think that it's going to be rather close.
