Rising gas prices threaten Obama
By Ed Rogers
I can’t match Carter’s prediction about Romney’s political demise if Santorum wins in Michigan. February 28th is too far away and I’m too heavily invested in predicting that Romney will be our nominee for me to change now. More on the Arizona and Michigan primaries later.
It’s not a prediction, but it is underreported and I think underappreciated, how significant the rise in gasoline prices could be economically and therefore politically. Gasoline prices have a real-time impact on middle-class Americans and ultimately everybody feels it when there is an increase. We’re now at $3.51 a gallon, with speculation that it will go to $4.00 and maybe even $5.00 later this year. This is bad for everybody, and it’s very bad politically for President Obama. He has never made it plain that he is even against high gasoline prices. If he thinks they’re too high, I don’t know what his plan is to bring them down. It’s been very plain that he wants higher energy prices so Americans will use less of it. We know he wants to tax the oil companies, but if you tax a company, what tends to happen to the price of its product? Of course the prices go up. So isn’t that what he is for?
I predict Obama is going to have an epiphany pretty soon, and he and his fellow Democrats will develop a straight-face call for lower gasoline prices. It won’t be easy, and the hypocrisy alarms will be blaring all over America.

True, but Gas hits its high in May-June and bottoms out in November. Also, people are more used to higher gas prices, so the impact if any won't be much to hang your hat on.

Obama will use the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to fuck over speculators, like Clinton used to do. Do that a couple of times and gas prices will stay in a reasonable range.

I just wish the republicans could make their minds up on who they are electing. Every month there is a new leader. Seems once you are leading the GOP polls you drop like a rock out of the race.
Let's recap:
Palin out
Bachmann out
Cain out
Paul out
Romney out
How long will recturom last? A month?
Doesn't really matter because Obama is getting re-elected in the end. What a piss poor bunch of republican candidates!

Nobody seems pissy. Pointing out your stupidity is not pissy. It isn't my fault you aren't informed enough to know who is/was a Republican candidate.

You have no concept of how the global fuel oil pool market functions. Releasing our entire 60 million barrel SPR into the market allows everyone to bid on it. It doesn't just flow directly to US and Mexican refineries.
60 million barrels is about a 3 day supply for the US alone making any release from the SPR insignificant. More insignificant would be any meaningful or lasting downward pressure on fuel prices at the pump.
http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2011/07/20/gas-prices-rise-despite-obama-iea-oil-release
The only effect would be psychological for consumers in perceiving that Obama is at least trying to help.
Threats like Iran dwarf market dynamics in fuel oil speculation compared to SPR release chatter.
Obama is in a no win situation.If the economy even modestly grows at 2.5% GDP we will have $5.00 per gallon gas this summer. If Iran saber rattles we have $5.00 per gallon gas.
$5.00 per gallon fuel= Obama's defeat.

How about taking away some of exxons tax breaks if they don't ramp up production in all their damn idle refineries.

Will it include defecating on vehicles? That is the only way I think that change will occur.

That's Grade A #1 GOP-tard bullshit.
If the economy is growing @ 2.5% & addting 300K jobs/month, nobody will say boo about $5 gas.
If gas prices spike due to events beyond his control (e.g.; Iranian saber rattling), only lying GOP-tard scum will try to blame Obama.
Face it: Nothing (least of all his opponent in November) is going to prevent a 2nd Obama term.

Are you fucking kidding me? I am an Obama voter and if gas goes to $5/gallon, that will have a huge cost on the economy come spring and summer. Staycations will be all the rage. See how that helps out swing states that rely on tourism - FL, NC, NV, VA, etc.

I'm not arguing that $5/gal. gas will be a good thing. If the price of gas increases due to economic growth, there won’t be much political cost to Obama.

I hope you are right, but $5/gal gas will depress certain segments of our society eve further. No good can come from gas prices that high, no matter what the level of economic growth.

LOL. $5 gas will sink Odumbo faster than WTL goes down on his boyfriend. Wait until the GOP picks a candidate and starts hammering away on him day after day with a billion $$$$ in superPAC money.

In 2008 I drove a car that got 12mpg. Now I have a car that gets 36mpg.
I don't think I'm the only one who made this change because I loved acceleration, V8s and fat tiers more than my family.
So, while the rise in gas prices suck, it's not going to have the same impact (I believe high energy prices caused the housing bust (see previous posts.)) Diesel is up less than 15 cents, which further deadens the impact.
And I do blame Obama. Bush certainly caused the high prices (see any graph of gas prices for 99-present) but Obama has been unable to reverse that republican legacy.
I'll never forgive Dick and Bush for killing the V8.

I don't think I'm the only one who made this change because I loved acceleration, V8s and fat tiers more than my family.
So, while the rise in gas prices suck, it's not going to have the same impact (I believe high energy prices caused the housing bust (see previous posts.)) Diesel is up less than 15 cents, which further deadens the impact.
And I do blame Obama. Bush certainly caused the high prices (see any graph of gas prices for 99-present) but Obama has been unable to reverse that republican legacy.
I'll never forgive Dick and Bush for killing the V8.

Just don't plan on blasting your 800 watt sub base unless you live right on the beach.

When Bush took office, gas was $1.45. When he left office, it was $1.85.
When Bush was re-elected, it was $1.95
When the GOP lost the House, it was $2.20
When Obama won re-election, it was $2.34
See a trend there? You don't think consumers punish the party in power when gas prices go up?
When Obama took office, gas was $1.85. Today, it is $3.46.
Do the math.
If you think the average consumer's fuel efficiency has tripled in 3 years, you need a brain transplant.

Damn it pull your fucking head out! the whole deal is that $5.00 gas will kill economic growth not support or sustain it.
The problem is the country is full of stupid fucking morons just like you. Please make sure you take advantage of Obama's free contraception and abortions, sterilize your needles with a match, have as much unprotected homosexual sex as you can, and don't worry about colonoscopies if you are over 50 because it's a big drug company conspiracy.
Now go out and buy you a fucking Volt.

When Bush was in office the media said, " High gas prices means a bad economy"
Now that "can do no wrong savior" Obama is in office it's, " High gas prices are good for the ecomomy"
I even heard a top Obama official descibe how Obama is saving lives with the High Gas Prices ....Oh yeah, this is because people can't afford to drive their automobiles.
Obama and his machine could sell ice to Eskimos.... Obama- the choice of the "Gimmeee for free" generation. I guess I should quit my job and get on the Liberal Express Free Ride. But then who would pay for all the freebees Obama is bribing America with so he can be re-elected? Shame that every self absorbed citizen wants NOW what their parents worked YEARS to get...
Vote for OBAMA, because if he can't get it, he'll steal it from me and other hard working Americans... You only have to give up your liberty, one Obama sales pitch at a time.

This may actually be worse than the oil spike of 2008. Remember the big layoffs had yet to occur since Lehman was still in business. Retirees were making more because of higher interest rates.
The rise of gas prices is now making the national news almost nightly. The pump price has been catching up to spot crude oil. It had been selling at a negative margin during the winter. As a result, refineries have had to shut down and the obvious effect shows up at the pump.
