Blaming Bush for everything is getting old. Under Bush, the price dropped from a high point, still waiting for under Obama, because under him, oil drilling permit approvals on federal land has been the lowest in recent history.
If you read the link I posted you will discover the the price of gas has gone up a lot under each of the last presidents. It's not just an Obama thing so why single him out, which is the point I was making.

The President doesn't make the price of gas go up or down. Sure he can have a small temporary affect by certain actions but it's the market driven supply vs demand that changes the prices.

The oil companies have been playing games for years now by cutting their production down to the minimum in order to keep prices higher. You want to blame someone for the price of tea in China you blame the Chinese.. However if you want to blame someone for the price of Gas anywhere in the world, you blame OPEC.
