exactly, this is the same thing that happened when Bush was in office. The politicians who are sponsored by the oil companies and have a stake in their business are responsible for the gas prices increasing.

If I knew whyo was doing this I would tell them a thing or two. Now we can only drive when we have to no more nice drives in the country.

And could you explain this?  I am quite sure that if there were some obvious blame to be placed on oil companies or Republicans that the crazy liberals extremists would be showing some proof, and as it is they are not even formulating their typical insane proposals and theories.  They are pointing blame but leaving it as simply that with no reasoning behind it.

The only blame I can find so far is on the Federal Reserve printing more money and devaluing the dollar.  Oil is priced in US currency and so this should be rather obvious to anyone.  I cannot account for more than a 30 percent direct increase this way though but their are other indirect aspects that are beyond my ability to properly consider.  I certainly cannot see any connection to Republicans, but I am sure the oil companies are taking some liberties with this, but with them being consistently villainized by the radicals environmentalists and liberals and others on the left, I really don't blame them.  This administration has made every effort to attack the oil industry and has consistently presided against them at every single opportunity.  A simple rule of self preservation in such cases dictates one to get what you can when you can.

Once again, though, I would like to ask what information you have come up with on this since you seem to have found out something that nobody in the media is able to locate?

There is ONLY one group to blame for high gas prices . . .

WE ARE!   

If we would quit buying at those high prices it would amaze you how fast they would go down.

Ooh, touchy subject. I honestly believe there is no one answer to the problem. If you want a one word answer, I believe it would be "everybody". Consumers buy gas at these prices, so the companies won't lower them. Republicans, Democrats, Green Party, Tea Party, etc all pass regulations that probably effect it in some way. Inflation is going to happen no matter what, even in what one would consider a good economy. Super powerful cars, even though more fuel efficient, still take more gas that a motorcycle. Resources are constantly changing with political situations overseas. Local sources are either used or not used depending on our own political climate.  One thing I have to say is I don't think politicians (president or otherwise) should promise to lower gas prices. I think that is like trying to control the weather. They get blamed for it because they promised they would fix it. Its all silly. Maybe the best way to go about this is to look into other energy sources and just change our lifestyles slowly to save more energy. We take care of ourselves, and things will be better overall.
