Gas Prices Are Highest Ever For This Time Of Year

NEW YORK (AP) - Gasoline prices have never been higher this time of the year.

At $3.53 a gallon, prices are already up 25 cents since Jan. 1. And experts say they could reach a record $4.25 a gallon by late April.

"You're going to see a lot more staycations this year," says Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research. "When the price gets anywhere near $4, you really see people react."

Thanks Obama for not supporting the Canadian pipeline, now that all their oil will go to China. The American people have lost it for putting this imposter in office in the first place.

So, is this some sort of game to them? Oh what fun. We will go along with whatever until its time to start shooting the perp.

I believe that the average price per gallon when obama took office was $1.84 and the unemployment rate was 4.30%. Now, BOTH have doubled under his watch. Give obama four more years and no amount of "surveillance" or police powers, or "detentions" or unemployment "extentions" will suppress the anger of "we, the people". Even people with good jobs and good salaries are starting to have a problem keeping up with the price of groceries and gas. He, of course, along with the rest of our "representatives", feel none of the pain. They are quite insulated from the everyday struggles and concerns of the middle class serfs who pay for ALL of their luxurious lifstyle accomodations. And 45% of Americans still think obama is doing a good job? PLEASE come on here and DEFEND this idiot -- I need to hear your reasoning (as long as it doesn't start with "George Bush this or that" or "he inherited blah blah blah blah"...
