Did you forget who you were talking to?...and you were one of them saying that the President has nothing to do with gas prices.
Now you agree with Fox News that a President can make gas prices come down?
I'm confused...

Gotta admit he would have been great doing the opening theme.makes me giggle every time I see it
Fox Repug network ran the story "high gas prices are BHO's fault, and prove he's mismanaged the econmomy" for weeks.
Now Fox Repug network "falls silent" and refuses to credit BHO for falling gasoline prices.
typical Repug crap:
GOP: ‘You Think We’re Going To Have A Press Conference Now To Congratulate The Administration For Decreasing Gas Prices?’

lol thinkprogress.
lol boutons doubling down
Heard an intresting bit on the radio this morning with the shocking revelation that people tend to credit/discredit the ability of the presiden to affect things like gas prices based on whether or not the president is on their "team".

I'm shocked, shocked I say!!
That same tendency applies to many other things than gas. Virgin births. Florida victories. Bin Ladin death dancing.
The Environmental Nightmare You Know Nothing About
Once upon a time, mining companies tore open hills or bored through or chopped off mountain tops to get at vital resources inside. They were intent on creating quicker paths through nature’s obstacles, or (as at Gauley Bridge) diverting the flow of mighty rivers. Today, they’re doing it merely to find the raw materials -- so-called frac sand -- to use in an assault on land several states away. Multinational corporations are razing ancient hills of sandstone in the Midwest and shipping that silica off to other pastoral settings around the United States. There, America’s prehistoric patrimony is being used to devastating effect to fracture shale deposits deep within the earth -- they call it “hydraulic fracturing” -- and causing all manner of environmental havoc. Not everyone, however, is keen on this “sand rush” and coalitions of small-town farmers, environmentalists, and public health advocates are now beginning to stand firm against the big energy corporations running sand-mining operations in their communities.
In this troubling spring, Wisconsin’s prairies and farmland fanned out to undulating hills that cradled the land and its people. Within their embrace, the rackety calls of geese echoed from ice-free ponds, bald eagles wheeled in the sky, and deer leaped in the brush. And for the first time in my life, I heard the thrilling warble of sandhill cranes.
Yet this peaceful rural landscape is swiftly becoming part of a vast assembly line in the corporate race for the last fossil fuels on the planet. The target: the sand in the land of the cranes.
That sand, which props open fractures in the shale, has to come from somewhere. Without it, the fracking industry would grind to a halt. So big multinational corporations are descending on this bucolic region to cart off its prehistoric sand, which will later be forcefully injected into the earth elsewhere across the country to produce more natural gas. Geology that has taken millions of years to form is now being transformed into part of a system, a machine, helping to drive global climate change.
