Because the price of gas is the only thing worth considering when choosing a president.

No, you should consider what women are allowed to do with their vaginas to be a more important issue.

This is a neat gas price chart: http://gasbuddy.com/gb_retail_price_chart.aspx

It was pretty low in January but it was also around $4 a few months earlier, yay oil speculators!

It was at $4 a few months earlier because oil was following the artificial economic bubble that stemmed from the housing market.

hmm, I couldn't find any data showing gas prices tracking housing prices, do you have a source? Housing prices peaked in 2006 according to Wikipedia.

This article from 2008 says that the crude price was likely higher due to people speculating that the value of the dollar was going to drop drastically due to the record low interest rates: http://money.cnn.com/2008/03/10/news/economy/gas_prices/index.htm

So is this person going around HAND WRITING all these notes he/she is putting on gas pumps?

[–]angelinuh11 1 point2 points ago

-_- let them hate. gas prices are rising because of issues not even in this country.

Sigh- I just hate disinformation regardless of the side it supports. Look things up before you get passionate about your rights, who believes a sticky note? Seriously...

Also, stop saying it is a "lie", it is true that this was about the price of gas at that time. However, it is VERY misleading considering the national record was set the summer before...

That is not a joke, that is a lie.

[–]afireinside7710 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

OMG this is such a freakin LIE!! The average price was $1.84

That's only 1/2 what it is now....you know, no biggie

$1.78 in 2009? Not in this dimension.

The sidebar advises against posting politics stuff.

Fuck! I thought I posted this to r/seriousbusiness. My mistake.

Definitely a lie... Hate seeing this picture all over Facebook.

So, I'm guessing it's Obama's fault that gas prices in most European countries are over $5USD/gallon? Prices too high? Quit driving gas-guzzlers, or suck it up and fork over the buck$.

I love this. Anyone have the link to the liberal college girl to refute this?

I haven't seen gas prices under $2 for 20 years. I know it can be dramatically cheaper in different regions though.
