[Hoot Gibson]

Why was gas prices ever high before obama? Was i dreaming. Must have been a mistake bye my eyes. Gas prices only rose until obama became president. I have seen the light.

Why was gas 4$ a gallon with bush Hoot?

I have already given my theory in other posts and I am not going to make another long post explaining it again. In that same thread I challenged liberals to answer why Obama did not do the things that he urged Bush to do to lower prices like impose a "windfall profits" tax when Democrats had control of both houses of Congress.

We have an extremely sluggish economy and yet gas prices are soaring to record levels. They have risen by more than 200 percent since Obama took office.

There were some gasoline prices during part of the Bush years but the price plummeted toward the end of 2008 and through Feb. 2009. Since that time, gas prices have risen steadily.

Do you buy the attempt by liberal Democrats to blame speculators for the current soaring prices? Did you learn anything in college about what has happened in the past when the federal government tried to impose artificial price controls on products and wages?

All I can say is that if you think that the federal government should control gas prices, then get ready to wait in line at the gas station, assuming that they can get enough gas to stay open.
