Gas up, Obama down.

We can all agreed that for good or bad we are a Petro dependent nation. All Americans depend on gasoline in some for or another. Weather you are driving a car, taking the bus, catching the train or even purchasing milk (plastic containers). We all use it everyday. So, when the gas market decides to get more expensive, it stands to reason "We the people" look to our leaders for answers. Sadly, most Americans do not realize just how the pricing is set. They are not aware of what factors drive those prices. Government over spending, the weakening value of the dollar, the list can go on. Speculators look at it all. Now back to my point. As we look to our leaders for answers. What do we get? "We need to lessen our dependance on foreign oil" or "We need to look at alternative forms of energy". How does that help us now? The President does not want a pipeline from Canada. He doesn't recognize how valuable the boom in North Dakota is. He wants to build more electric cars. Let's face it he is out of touch with reality. Because of that maybe America is waking up. Maybe! As the price of gas goes up, Mr. Obama seems to see his approval number go down. So the question is this. Are you willing to have $5 per gallon gas for the summer?
