according to that chart it hasn't gotten as high under Obama as it was under Dubya in April/June 2008.
This is true. I understand politics and how it works, but I think it is terribly disingenuous to pretend we were playing less than $2 per gallon under W. The prices plummeted to that level for whatever reason, but it was pretty much in the narrow window while W was already heading out and O was voted in. Politics aggravates me to no end.

In my Middle Tennessee town of 100,000 yesterday I think gas was at $3.71 gallon. I travel in GA, MS, AL, and other parts of TN and generally my town's prices are a little better than other places for some reason.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
They say the president can't control gas prices. Yet if he announced today the opening of more public lands for new drilling, if he lifted the blockage of the Keystone Pipeline, if he presented a strategy for more domestic production, based on those efforts, that speculators and investors would cause the prices to drop almost immediately. There would be a surge of confidence in the market and an injection of security in America that Middle Eastern nations would have a diminished ability to manipulate us.

Gas prices hit a record high for this time of the year --- $3.72 national average.
Not good news for Obama...As he keeps pushing wind and solar energy and battery powered cars...
Still no real comprehensive energy policy...

AAA is saying that the national average will be at a record level for a Labor Day weekend.
