this is all just …
this is all just republican propaganda..they want to say the sky isn’t blue…believe anything… even believe they and their secret Cheney energy commission aren’t responsible for this fraud.

Genius, supply and …
Genius, supply and demand controls the price of gas. The government(Congress) taxes the oil companies not Bush. The government made more on gas than the oil companies. Obama wants to tax the oil companies profits which in turn will be paid by you the share holders. The Democrats are blocking the drilling and refining of oil we know is within our own country. We can be oil independant if they let us. The Democrats want to control the oil companies. Whoever votes Democrat will be very sorry.

Gas is not called gas. Gas is air. Gasoline is liquid. Just thought I’d correct you people.

You are right.
You are right.

Who is this a-hole? …
Who is this a-hole? Some left wing uninformed jacK-ass. The CONGRESS IS STOPPING THE OIL COMPANIES FROM DRILLING AND REFINING!!!!!!!! Please do your homework. If that Communist Obama gets elected he says he will Tax the profits of the gas companies. People who own their stock will now make much less in their retirement funds. He has no FRIGGIN IDEA of what he thinks he’s going to do. If congress passes bills to drill and refine gas today, the price will go down immediately. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!

political partys …
political partys are stupid first of all, second of all, all political partys pretend to compete even tho the outcome of the president is predetermined by the government. before you downrate and spam the out of my comment why dont you research it yourself?

the democrats will …
the democrats will not help gas prices.you are right in the fact that speculation acounnts for most of the cost in a barral of oil but the dems will not allow more drilling and introduce even more regulation on current operations. witch will give the oil companies another excuse to raise prices. the best plan would be to stop speculation. make a law that says if you buy it you have to use it. this would stop the endless buying and selling of goods before they reach the consummer and lower prices

tallcoolone1 says April 28th, 2009 at 4:36 pm

he is correct. at …
he is correct. at least a third of the cost of a barrel of oil is from speculation.This has nothing to do with how much it costs to pull the oil out of the ground. It is only the oil companies bidding up the price and cashing in, with the help of BUSH. Meanwhile, actual demand has gone down, and still the price goes up. They will us for every penny until a Democrat is elected.

Oh, ok. So it has …
Oh, ok. So it has nothing to do then with environmentalists putting a hold on future expansion of drilling and refining in this country to keep up with demand? This guy is either lying or just an idiot that never learned basic economics, and how supply and demand works. He is far from correct, and only playing a blame game.

tallcoolone1 says April 28th, 2009 at 4:36 pm

this guy in the …
this guy in the video is one hundred percent correct. what planet do you live on?

What an idiot!
What an idiot!

The Democratic …
The Democratic Party has been blocking more drilling and newer refineries for some time. We must face the facts! The dems are trying to destroy America. How many of them are in bed with the Arabs?
