    Lob bombs, put an Oil Exec as SOS..........boom. Prices go up up up! Gotta make that money for Exxon Mobil!.

    The week Obama left office, I paid around $1.91 for Gas. It is $2.25 at the same station today.


    I bet it is $2.50 by Summer.

    I want the to TRY to blame Obama for that.

    It is Obama's fault in a way. If he were not black, there would not have been so much backlash with certain people in this country. That coupled with the fact at how awful of a candidate Hillary Clinton was are the two main reasons you have in my honest opinion the complete disaster Donald Trump in the White House.

    So gas prices are just the beginning. There are many paths this country and the world could take in the next 10-20 years. Donald Trump could help influence that path and a few of them could be true utopia.

    Cant believe you guys are complaining about this. Gas prices going up is very good for me as it helps me keep a job or look for a better one.

    Not everyone in Houston is in O&G.

    Anyways yeah oil prices were kept artificially low anyway. It was only a matter of time before the price of oil shot back up.

    Only ignorant people would blame Obama for that. Presidents have no control over gas prices in this country.

    Liberals amuse me. First, its gas prices are too low, killing OG jobs, bad for the environment, blah blah blah. Now its Trumps fault and he's doing a terrible job.

    If there is one single reason why I could never identify with a liberal is that its they are never happy.

    We should live up to our values as Americans and Western liberals. That means abandoning our defense of Saudi Arabia.

    Nah, **** that. Gimme cheap gas, bruh.

    We know it will rebound but I don't see how it's been kept artificially low. The US has doubled their Output, Canada going strong and until recently OPEC was pumping at a sustained rate to try and price out American producers while demand is low....seems market driven to me. OPEC finally blinked and is cutting production so you can say that prices will go up and be artificially high. Maybe I'm misunderstanding "artificially" in your context, I have a basic understanding of oil futures but I can't say that i understand it all, just what I read.

    Oil per barrel has been rising for well over a year.

    I've made a TON of money from it.

    It's going to continue to rise, because the world wants at a minimum $55/barrel by eoy

    You're absolutely right. I just used the wrong terminology.

    You are actually seeing the price rise (like it does every year regardless of who is in office) as refiners switch to their summer blends. It is an EPA mandated blend switch and it is more expensive. It happens every April to comply to the May 1 deadline.

    It has nothing to do with who is in office.

    Does this mean we are done talking about the "Trump is Putin's puppet" narrative?

    I wish the left would sell programs so I could keep track of the outrage of the week...

    Gas prices also kissed $5 under George Bush.

    This was pointed out in the Obama Gas Price Spike Thread, which included posters who were complaining and blaming the POTUS for gas prices, who are now calling the complainers hypocritical.
