Is it the "price of gas, stupid"?

"Falling gasoline prices suck!"

Why do they suck?

Why do they suck?

Because they're JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Depends on how many wells one has . . .

Because they're JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Ah....oook.

I was going to begin a thread regarding the high gas price and its political impact to Biden, but saw this one about Obama. Its amazing at how the more things change, the more they stay the same.

How much do you think Biden's poll numbers are linked to inflation and gas prices?

Biden is selling off Strategic Petroleum Reserves and the tankers are headed where?

My son was laughing at this sticker on one of the pumps near our house. Pointed right at the cost per gallon on the pump.

This chart is misleading, though. COVID killed gas demand, so prices were artificially lowered. As the economy came back, gas prices naturally recovered.

That's not the issue. The issue is what people will think of this and Biden's responsibility during the election time. That's what "its the price of gas, stupid" is supposed to represent.

Not who is at fault, but who takes the blame.
