Obama's highest gas prices ever.

[muttly]

Gas prices have reached an all time high for this time of year under the Obama regime

From article:
Meanwhile, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported Monday that gasoline expenditures in 2012 for the average U.S. household reached $2,912, or just under 4 percent of income before taxes. This was the highest estimated percentage of household income spent on gasoline in nearly three decades, with the exception of 2008, when the average household spent a similar amount. Gasoline prices averaged $3.63 a gallon in 2012, according to EIA.


For the Barry supporters who voted for him claiming he is "looking out for the little guy". How does these high gas prices square with that misinformed thinking? These high gas prices due to Obama's failed energy policy have taken hard earned money out of the pockets of people who could have used it for food to feed their families. Obama, he looks out for the little guy,except when he's not.
Consumers Taking Financial Hit From Rising Fuel Prices

This is just one of Obama's, and the left's in general, greatest dreams. Drive up the cost of fuel so no one can afford to go anywhere. They want price to be at least as high as Europe. They have been saying this for decades, working towards it for decades, the the twerps keep voting them in.

Obama said at least once he believes we should be paying $8 per gallon. He wants to destroy clean coal which is better and more efficient than most options. He is a traitor, a terrorist, a criminal, a boil on the a$$ of humanity. Sometime maybe I'll voice my opinion of him.

It isn't just fuel. As we keep spending (16T so far) we are putting the dollar in jeopardy. As it loses value, the poor will be hurt the most because their dollar buys less. One of these days, the poor are going to figure it out. Probably when they buy a gallon of milk and it is 8 bucks.

I fill-up my truck about every 3 weeks nowadays. (Live just about 4 miles from store)

3 Weeks ago I paid $3.05 a gallon......Missed the dang $2.99 a gallon week!!!

Yesterday I paid $3.42 a gallon.

.37 cents a gallon difference in 3 weeks time...............

Last time it rose this sharp in such a short period of time the Liberals were wanting to Chop Bush's head off cause it was ALL HIM and His rich OIL BUDDIES screwing the people of America.

I wonder what the Cause is today for prices to be rising so fast............................

The cause is the Obama administration's abysmal energy policy.

Thank you for your astute observation and precise conclusion. It is comforting to know that we have an expert right here on the forum.
I will assume that you either;

A) Have extensive experience researching and analyzing global supply and demand, tracking crude oil price trends, following national, regional and local gasoline supplies and pricing and evaluating the specific effects of the current governmental regulations effecting all of the above.

Or

B) Read and believe every conservative commentary that suits your opinions.

I'm thinking B.

The previous link I provided is from CNBC. The C doesn't stand for conservative.
The figures don't lie though. After four years of Obama, the gas prices are at an all time high for this time of year. You wouldn't hear much about it from the lame stream media though as illustrated by the accompanying link. When you have a president that says 1. "Oil is the energy of the past." and 2. "Algae is our future." Plus a recently former energy secretary ,who happens to not own a car ,but says he wouldn't have a problem with gas being 8 dollars a gallon. The end result would be higher gas prices like the administration would prefer. How is that keystone pipeline coming along? Oh yeah ,that still haven't approved it.

Humble say's this:

And you supply a link to Newsbusters.

My post was referring to your conclusion (post#6) that Obama's energy policy is the cause. I was genuinely interested in what information you based that on. You obviously did not reach your conclusion based on the article you posted. There was no mention of energy policy:

From CNBC article
Analysts said the uncharacteristically early price rise is due to several factors: some refineries closing permanently or shutting down for maintenance, climbing crude oil prices, and a shortage of supply in California, requiring fuel to be diverted from other areas of the country to make up for reduced inventories.

When you have a president that says 1. "Oil is the energy of the past." and 2. "Algae is our future." Plus a recently former energy secretary ,who happens to not own a car ,but says he wouldn't have a problem with gas being 8 dollars a gallon. The end result would be higher gas prices like the administration would prefer.

Thank you, now I understand. You believe those comments are the evidence needed to determine that it must be Obama's energy policy that sets the fuel prices in the U.S.

Do you think Worldwide supply and demand of crude oil might have a larger effect than U.S. Energy policy? Do you know how much oil we export to China? How do we explain 2008?

Just asking, you're the expert.

I highly recommend going back and reading Mr. Humbles posts #7 and #10 and do a little homework outside of NewsBusters and educate yourselves on the reasons why fuel prices are where they are.

I suggest starting your google search with these two words: oil speculation .

Look up drilling bans, no new refineries in more than 30 years, no use of coal to diesel fuel etc etc etc, all due to a very flawed energy policy based on junk science.

There is an almost ENDLESS supply of natural fuels. There is so much oil being produced under the Gulf of Mexico that it NATURALLY spills the equivalent of TWO Exxon Valdez spills into the Gulf each year. Why not use it? OH YEAH, we are not allowed to use it.

Why look up drilling bans?
Can I assume that you are NOT addressing my posts here?
The question was: How does Obama's energy policy effect the price of gasoline in the U.S.?
You are addressing domestic supply side issues during a time when U.S. production has increased; therefore, it is difficult to understand your point.

From one of many articles addressing U.S. oil production:

Now the International Energy Agency predicts that by 2020, U.S. oil production will exceed Saudi Arabia’s. This is altering decades of established trading patterns.

Falling U.S. Oil Imports Will Reshape the World Crude Market - Businessweek

In addition, are you familiar with the import/export ratio changes over the past 5 years? Increased worldwide demand? Other global issues that effect crude prices which reflect in our fuel prices?

There is an almost ENDLESS supply of natural fuels. There is so much oil being produced under the Gulf of Mexico that it NATURALLY spills the equivalent of TWO Exxon Valdez spills into the Gulf each year. Why not use it? OH YEAH, we are not allowed to use it.

Natural seepage from Mother Earth? What would be the method and costs for extracting, transporting and refining that mess??

 

[Humble2drive]

It is all about lobbying and the under the table stuff that goes on to stop capitalism as we know it.

Huh? Did you post this to the wrong thread?
Obama's highest gas prices ever.
Referring to both of your posts. Lobbying and corruption have been around for many years and the Galbraith Issue took place during the previous administration.
How are these related to the effects of current energy policy on current gas prices?

Nope, you have it BACKWARDS. The speculation argument is the "strawman" argument. Government restrictions, bogus environmental regulations are the reality AND the TRUE cause. A stupid picture is also a VERY weak argument. In fact, it is no argument at all.
