I'm glad. Out where I live they've dropped to $3.19.
But in DC, they were still at $3.59. :P
-
How are they falling? Gas was 1.89 when obama took over, $3 a gallon is considered a dem victory now? Put a frog in a pot and slowly bring it to a boil....

Economy heads further into the crapper, demand contracts and oil prices drop.

put your slim jim down and watch the video again because your missing the point,the pres has no control of the price of gas. so when the prices were going up the repubs should have been giving obama credit because the economy was getting better

What do you expect from Martin Bashir and the red-headed stepchild of cable news, also home of "Thrill-Up-My-Leg" Chris Matthews?
When gas prices were going up, all we heard was Obama whine about how powerless he was to do anything about it. "There's no silver bullet!", remember?
From $4/gallon to $3.50/gallon....break out the Cristal!!!

I predicted this a while ago. Prices would drop when Obama got deeper and deeper into trouble and as the election got closer same with the markets. Just watch, as the election gets closer, the markets will rise, fuel will drop and this self serving SOB will claim credit.

let me use repub thinking they went up because of obama,so they go down because of obama.it has to be that simple because the repubs say so :D

Falling gasoline prices are PROOF of Obama's economic policy working just the way I thought it would: unemployment is higher, underemployment is higher, less people have money, and thus less people buying gasoline translates into lower demand and lower prices.

its not collapsing idiot.....come on.....our economy is still growing..just very weakly....is Obama doing a good job of bringing down gas prices???..yes or no
-
Technically Howard is right. Gigantorx went over this - lower demand, lower cost.
The economy is turning down again and prices are going down because of it. Notice how the high prices were in the "recovery", and now that shit is looking bleak again, prices are dropping?
Obama may not technically have been responsible for high gas prices, but none of his policies did anything to help IMHO.
Also read something about them shutting down production to switch over to their summer blend a few months back, im sure that contributed to the high prices until they were back to normal production.

Credit for what, exactly? We have been over this. The economy is still stuck in shit and sinking again, thus we have lower oil demand. Prices will spike again when more "Stimulus" is rumored, or QE or Iran or whatever will further devalue the dollar. The fact that the stimulus and QE's etc were total failures and failed to help anyone but major banks, corporations and the top elite doesn't bode well for the upper-middle class and down when these schemes are introduced again. The elites will reap all the benefits while everyone else gets fucked and has to deal with 5 dollar gas. Wonderful.
To give Obama credit for falling gas prices would be to say that his economic/fiscal policies have been such a failure that the economy is still in awful shape and getting worse so there is less demand for oil.

my point about giving Obama credit for gas prices falling was sarcastic....simply mirroring everyone's take that Obama just had to be the reason for higher gas prices.....so by the twisted thinking on this board, I simply used the same theory....that since gas prices are falling it just must be because of Obama's policies....notice all the twisting and tortured logic in here to try NOT to give Obama credit...now ALL OF A SUDDEN in this thread, since gas prices are falling, we get the arguments that I have been saying for years...THAT THE PRESIDENT AND HIS POLICIES HOLD NO SWAY OVER GAS PRICES.....
wow..amazing
It s a real shame we have so much intellectual dishonesty here
okay...go on the attack now...as always

Please point me to a specific policy pushed by Obama or the Democrats that has helped increase the supply of gasoline.
Because if you can, then you might have a point. But all Obama has done is restrict the supply of energy, oil, and gasoline. So if supply is restricted, then the only possibility for prices to go down is reduced demand.
This is basic economics here. It shouldn't be causing even a retard such as yourself this much grief.

haha, I can remember when Bush was being blamed for gas prices being high because he was a "Texas oil man" yet when Odrama got into office the prices continued to rise. And gas prices ALWAYS dip down in an election year.....look it up turds.

So.... sorry, don't quite understand what you mean there. this was just 2 months ago,well not even that really it was like May 11th

Okay:
- Prices were at highs because supply was restricted and demand was slowly growing.
- Prices are falling now because demand is (probably) falling thanks to the economy weakening again. I wouldn't be surprised if we were on the front-end of a recession right now.
The only other possibility is an increase in supply causing falling prices, but that could only be the case in spite of Obama's policies, not because of them.

How is it you're too damn blind to see you do the same thing in reverse?
When anything good happens, you're on here trumpeting with Obama's cock in your mouth creating posts about Obama kicking 33's ass.
Anything bad and it's ALWAYS somebody or something else's fault...or you just dissappear.
-
Gas prices can skyrocket next week......the only time gas prices will actually matter is the week leading up the election itself.......nothing more. President have little overall influence on gas prices. If there is a hiccup in the Middle East, prices will go up, even if supply is uninterrupted......the price goes up due to an anticipation of a foreseeable supply shortage.
According to the GOP, Obama is an emperor with absolute power that affects all things in everyone's daily lives. ::)

Regional factors come into play.
-Distance from refineries.
-All manner of taxes.
-Location of the actual gas station.
-Which blend is being used.
-I've read that much of the oil/gas that gets sent to Cali via various pipelines is shipped off to Japan and Asia pacific. I'll try and dig that up.
-Other things...
Some of those are "tack on" things and others have a bigger impact like taxes and such. But the major reason is supply/demand/geopolitics/production policy.
As for the grand oil game, it comes down, in large part, to the final flow rates. Meaning, you can have an "reserve" which is oil that is accessible, of 100 trillion barrels but it is meaningless if you can only pump out 5 mbpd.

very nice...you got through an entire post without blaming the left or Obama...POTUS has no bearing whatsoever on gas prices.....GEOPOLITICS as you put it is more of a key

Thanks for the thumbs up, but I think I have a good track record of playing straight around here. As for the President having no bearing on gas prices, well, a President and his policies concerning energy exploration/discovery/production etc would play a part. Not nearly as big as Saudi Arabia or other OPEC countries stances, but it would play a role.

Who was restricting the supply and how?
Also, typically we use more gas in the summer time versus mid May.
Don't get me wrong I am not trying to make a case about OB policies causing prices to go down.
-
Gas prices are dropping, and I think I know why.
Obama wants more people to drive so that there will be more accidents.
All part of his plan to destroy America.

Probably the economy declining further and then the evil futures traders selling and pushing the price of a barrel of oil down. All the things I listed have effects, but the biggest effect is usually the price of a barrel of oil and refining capacity. It could have in part to global demand dropping as well so the oil corps. and refiners just kept the distillates/oil in he U.S. to be sold rather than exporting it.
But the Gasoline - Oil connection can me hazy at times if refining capacity can't produce enough gasoline to satisfy demand.

But hasn't history shown us demand always goes up in the summer? How is this summer economic wise any different from any other summer since 07? Hasn't been that way for the last 10 years at least? I could be wrong.

Not enough to make me jump for joy but.......
Don't know what it is over there, but may cheap gas was 4.17 here. Now i can get it for 3.51 which means i save about $15 dollars every time i fill up which about 3-4 a month. Its not 1.89, but hell, this is better than it has been.

More people losing their jobs or going from high paying jobs to menial McJobs, credit cards being maxed out, more people losing their homes, savings being drained away and on and on. In 2007 the economy was in a shambles, things were shaking out...some held on, some dipped into savings some got a 2nd job etc.....at this point all that has been shaken out again. Now that 2nd job doesn't exist, the savings are drained, you can't squeeze a nickel out of any household demand, or they family who survived but had to live walking the highwire has now suffered a job loss, or a reduction in pay or hours or whatever and they are now fucked.
Oil is also global and the global economy is falling apart as well.
