Actually, in this particular case, George Bush had absolutely nothing to do with the lower prices!!!

Are you in shock and awe?

I've been in "shock and awe" for 3 1/2 years now.

Gas prices going down!!! lol that's funny!! Gas prices went from $1.84 to almost $3.75 under Obama. They have a very long way to go to get back to where they should be so don't get too excited. Funny how they start to decline when elections are around the corner and some think he had nothing to do with it. If that's the case why all of a sudden are they going down.? It's all temporary anyway. They will rise to 9.00 if Obama is re-elected just where he wants it. Exactly like EUROPE!! And then his next goal of course if for all of us to use mass transit. Keep relying on the government because they know so much more than you do.

Yes Kathy and Al I see it too and it's shining "brighter" everyday as we get closer.

Careful on your facts....the highest average price for regular gas was in July 2008 under George W Bush. $4.11 per gal. Yes it did drop for a while, but that is the nature of the market. The fact is the price of gas climbed through out Bushes tenure as President. Here is the link to the facts.

Gasoline prices are not due to which party is in office in the White House. The prices are rising and falling on the actions of speculators on Wall Street as well as demand and supply of oil.

If there are major storms in the Gulf of Mexico, oil prices will go up as supply may go down if the oil drilling platforms may have to close down for a while. If there are major tensions in the MidEast and one of the OPEC countries is involved, prices may rise due to the instability. When the euro currency is in major flux, prices may rise. When none is this is a major concern, prices will come down.

Oil companies have continued to make record profits - and still pay very little percentage of their profits in taxes.
