    just like they were under Obama when gas fell down to as low as $1.72 a gallon…

    or maybe that price was still too high for u

    I guess it was just me paying less for building materials, gas, groceries and when working in real estate deals I had clients buying nice homes below 200K.... It was all a lie

    So, Obama was President in 2008 when the housing market crashed?

    So you are just going to ignore every other month Obama was in office? See that's my problem with ya'll mane.. Ya'll put some crazy ass spin on things... Because gas was cheaper from 2009-2010 that means that Obama's term yielded the lowest gas prices ever? No because from Jul 2009 gas prices rose to nearly 4 dollars a gallon and stayed there consistently till 2015.... That's a whole 6 years you are ignoring for the sake of your narrative... Under Trump gas prices never rose above $3.00 consistently over his term.... Here is a graph to help you out...

    You could probably write off your employees gas expenses if you weren’t paying undocumented employees.

    final 2 years in office for Obama, gas was barely over $2 a gallon, and that is what was handed to Trump along with a good economy…if only Bush could’ve done the same for Obama and not handed him a crisis

    if $3 a gallon was too expensive for u, just say that

    Prices started to gradually come down as the 2016 election was coming up, under the Obama/Biden administration gas prices were low when he entered office and when he left... Everything in between was consistently high.

    But since you insist that my issues with high gas prices is that filling up costs $10-$20 more you are either ignoring the real problem or you just don't get it..... High gas prices means everything else will also go up, building materials, food, electronics, pretty much anything you go out and buy or order online. Everything goes up, because it just so happens that Trucks also run on gas not just my car. I guess you never stopped to question why the hell everything is so expensive lately. Yeah, maybe you are well off to the point it doesn't impact you. I don't like paying more for things I used to pay less for just 3 years ago. It hasn't affected me from achieving my financials goals and wants. But this country is not just those who have steady income. There are tons of people who need to pay less at the pump, less at the groceries stores, less for building materials.... Believe it or not, there are people who struggle to pay bills and don't give a single damn about left or right politics and propaganda. They just need to make it out there...

    average annual gas prices were under $3 a gallon for 4 of Obama’s 8 years in office and dipped every year from a high of $3.6

    I won’t even get into how fcked up the country was when Bush handed things over to him…now compare the state of the country then to when Obama handed things over to Trump

    this right wing notion that everything was in the dumps under Obama and no one could afford anything is just fake news nonsense

    we know the real reason u MAGA types love Trump

    what ccorn posted speaks for itself

    facts over feelings

    I just showed you the graph, the gas prices did not dip every year. They rose to $3.96 on May 2011 and did not start dropping below $3.00 until Nov 2014.... It was consistently high for the middle 4 years of his term.. Low the 1st 2 years and lowering during his last year... Low in and low when he left... You know who was under $3.00 every single year consistently?

    Obama was not great, was not bad... I've mentioned before I rather have Obama than Biden... Does not mean that things were wonderful under Obama because they weren't. No need to lie to about it... No need to lie about Biden not being a terrible president. You wouldn't have to lie if Dem's decided to put a competent president that put this country first. I get it thou bro, left wing politics over God, over money, over health... As long as the left is running the show you are happy...

    I said they dipped every year from an annual average of $3.6 until it was barely over $2 a gallon his final 2 years…

    that’s literally what happened

    This u?

    Obama = Biden..... Same crisis, same high gas prices, same immigration bs, same housing market crash

    then your ass got checked by ccorn with facts

    A Trump fanatic talking about competency? Bringing up God? Lol, good one

    I’m speaking to a hypocrite whose own parents came here illegally, so no surprise…the right wing u love so much should’ve kept that same energy for them

    The graph checks out but 45 artificially lowered it by depleting the SPR to 80s levels.

    IIRC, OPEC decided during the trumpybear failure to tank prices in order to tank American production. Gas prices went super low because of that as there was a massive surplus. They succeeded as American production slowed. But it wasn't a thing because the COVID shutdown kept people off the roads. Then, things opened back up...except American production. While the right blames President Biden for the lack of American production, the oil companies themselves said they would prefer the massive profits over reasonable pricing so they weren't going to produce any more than they needed to.

    Am I missing anything other than mentioning that trumpybear had nothing to do with the low prices?

    I know everyone likes to think of Biden as incompetent because he says stupid things and can be creepy at times. Legislatively though he is more competent than both Trump and Obama. He’s had more meaningful legislation passed in his first year and a half than Trump did in his whole term and more significant bipartisan legislation than Obama did in two terms. This was even though both Trump and Obama had actual legislative majorities their first two years with Obama having 60 Democrats in the Senate. Biden has only had a technical majority in the Senate.

    For those who believe that Biden is just a puppet consider that many of his administration was also in Obama’s yet Obama couldn’t get as much done in Congress. Leadership at the top does matter.

    You're absolutely right and the Democrats needed to be embedding this into the populace on a daily basis...

    - American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
    - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021
    - Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022 (gun legislation)
    - Postal Service Reform Act 2022 (people forgot about this one)
    - Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
    - Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act of 2022 (pending)

    All the Dems have to do is run on their accomplishments. Don't get distracted with Trump or any other nonsense. Let what will play out do so organically...
