Steve, you need to study economics. Price of oil always goes up when there is uncertainty about the country supplying the oil. It went up when the war on Iraq was launched, it went up again when the war on Libya began and now that Iran appears t be threatening Israel and cutting off the strait whereby their oil is shipped, it's going to go up again. As soon as I heard about Iran/Israel in the news, I knew the price of gas will go up over $4.
How I knew? I studied economics.
Bush STARTED a war with Iraq - a 10 year war. He is why the price of gas went up. Obama didn't start any at all. Why do you think he should be blamed for the price of gas going over $4?
Why? Maybe because he is doing nothing about Iran.
Remember Clinton did nothing and gave us WTC.
