    I have no problem giving him credit where credit is do. Can you tell me what he has done to make them go down? Right now my understanding is Fuel prices are falling now and that crude oil is down to $84 a barrel because of the instability in Europe’s economy along wiht people not driving as much. So if he has done something to start this downward trend other then natural causes tell me and if true I will give him credit.

    I have said several places that there are so many factors involved in gas either rising or falling that a president, any president, should not be blamed nor praised.

    Here is the best explanation I have seen so far.

    Here is the problem. The prices are falling contrary to his policies and his desires. We have on record statement from those in his administration that higher gas prices is their desire. So he deserves no credit for them falling but he does for them rising.

    You only say that as you would never give him credit for anything good. You say it is on record that he desires higher gas prices. Please give me a link that gives such a quote. Thanks.

    You brought up rising gas prices attempting to bring negative comments about Obama. Nice try troll. Gas prices are falling. In time they will start to rise again. But it will not be the fault of a president ... whoever that is.

    What do you say about falling gas prices? In Missoula you are paying between $3.60 and $3.69 a gallon ... according to the Net.

    There have been a number of reports on falling gas prices by KPAX

    As there is no way to know if you bothered to read the OP, here it is.

    I'm just going to let your words stand for themselves. You've got enough rope, I guess.

    When you have nothing to say ... you say nonsense. Trolling again.

    How about the falling gas prices?

    Gas prices have skyrocketed under team zero, like he said they would. A 40 cent drop over a 2 dollar gain, means gas rose 100 % over three years, and dropped 10 % in the last three weeks.

    I believe I have already said everything I have said in the above statement, in this thread, or words to that effect, but since you cannot, or will not read, there you are. I have addressed your O/P. It's baloney.

    Happy now ?

    Gas went from 3.55 to 3.75 a gallon in the last several weeks - how is that falling?

    Wow, your area seems to be swimming against the tide. I wonder why that is? Did new taxes kick in? Do the sellers in MN know something the rest of us do not know?

    No new taxes kicked in. Minnesota's gas prices are mostly controlled by one company--SuperAmerica. Whatever prices they set, the others follow. I guess the SuperAmerica simply decided to make more profit in Minnesota.

    Americans have very short memories. Three steps forward, two steps back.

    That is still twice what it was when Obama took over. Of course the unemployment rate is higher than when Obama took over and the National Debt is 50% higher. So the people like CTB will likely reelect Obama. Then everything will double and Obama will get his Socialist state!

    Sort of like the income tax return many people look for each year. I fear many people think the government is giving them something from their "stash". Of course, given the way the Fed is printing money, I guess Obama now has a "stash" to dole out!
