Gas Prices Falling–Where Are The Kudos For Obama?

Submitted by Cheston Catalano

We heard for months that President Obama was responsible for rising gas prices. Now that they’re dropping, do those same people give him credit?

After an almost uninterrupted rise since mid-January, average national retail gasoline prices have fallen 17 cents since April 4, according to the American Automobile Association. The $3.76 per gallon national average yesterday was 20 cents lower than the same day a year ago…

Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, said in a March 18 “Fox News Sunday” interview there is “no question” Obama was to blame for rising gasoline prices. The Republican called for the firing of the “gas-hike trio,” the secretaries of the Energy and Interior departments and the head of the Environmental Protection Agency.
