What should he be doing about it?

How about "Drill here, drill now!"

 

Oba-Mao filled out the brackets and guess who won...

I don't like Obama any more than the rest of you, but to be fair here, what exactly do we want him to do? We have enough problems here in the USA without sticking our noses into Libya. We've already spread our troops thin doing that in Iraq and Afghanistan, and for what result? If the USA decided to oust a president, would we take kindly to a world super-power butting in on our affairs?

How should he fix the gas prices? That would involve butting in and controlling private businesses, would it not? Is that really what we need, more government controlling our daily lives? We have to be careful what we wish for.

 

>>OIL is an international commodity and the price of crude is set by the commodity boards. Further, "our" oil is owned by international corporations, not by "us." What should Obama do? Nationalize all US oil reserves? Wouldn't that be "communistic?" Someone please post a Republican/capitalist solution.


>How about "Drill here, drill now!

Will AresMan please explain why oil companies and retailers should charge less for gas than people are willing to pay? What other retail product is sole for less than people are willing to pay except as a loss leader?
