I know he and his policies may not be directly affecting gas prices. But hey, he gets blamed for everything that isn't perfect that he also doesn't have complete control over.

(25,456 posts)my husband and I had a little joke blaming GW Bush for everything. Break a dish: "Bush's fault!" Can't find your keys: "Bush did it!" Then Obama became president and people started the "Thanks, Obama!" BUT THEY WERE SERIOUS. Sigh.

(7,343 posts)yes the PNW tends to have higher gas prices than most of the country, but I'm not complaining! So thanks, Obama!
BTW, I read somewhere on the internets that peeples on Fox News are worried low gas prices are hurting the economy!

(5,364 posts)He's a fairly latent right winger and criticizes the president every chance he gets and I remember distinctly his blaming the president directly and indirectly for the hike in gas prices several years back. I reminded him of this and asked who he "blames" for the fall of oil prices. He switched on a dime to the gun issue, how they're going to ban them all blah blah blah.
