oh hell yes. To Obama skyrocketing oil and energy prices are a feature not a bug. It's "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" time.

Saw where in Germany they're paying $8.50 on average per gallon and much of Europe isn't fairing much better. Nearly all their oil is imported where they must first convert their currency into U.S. dollars to purchase it. We import 70% of ours purchased with our own currency. We're basically getting away with murder and I don't expect it to last. The dollar won't be the world reserve currency forever.

$4.09 a gallon at Riverside BP. Actually down six cents/gal. from yesterday.
Obviously the Obama energy policy is a resounding success.

go to the station and it's $3.57 a gallon with 10% ethanol in it.
Buy it from me out of my garage, it's $3.40. Currently selling gas I bought a year ago for $2.80 a gallon. Win-win for EVERYBODY!!!

I like to think if we elected someone new, they would do something. But oil men running ads backing every republican who runs for congress, it is unlikely to be a republican. The only the republican that ever took on big business crooks was Teddy Roosevelt and that was a 100 years ago. He got his face on a mountain for doing it. That not going to happen to Obama or any of the people likely to run against him. But I digress. Like I said before these prices will collapse by late fall. We been through this before several times. In the mean time, the ordinary people get rooked at gas pump so a few future traders can reel in their suckers.

Now that the news is out, look for long lines in front of your garage.

I supply this link not to begrudge Exxon or to suggest that ...

NO. Bul_ S__t! The Oil Co's are raping us!

$3.79 for 87 grade near Dallas.

Good thing we got rid of that evil BushCo so that oil companies won't go raping consumers anymore. Much better to have a "man of the people" in the white house, right democrat suckers?

Enjoy $4 per gallon gas, dumbasses. You got what you voted for
