Your stats are way off. On December 23, 2008, oil was $30.28 a barrel... I have no clue where you got $300... As well, on December 26, 2008, gas was $1.64 a gallon.

Gas prices have nothing to do with who is the president of USA. This is just an excuse for you to hate on Obama...

Because america likes capitalism and charging outrageous prices is very capitalism.

You do realise the petrol companies are all privately owned and can charge any price they please.
The government has no control over the prices

..This sums up my thoughts. Quit trying to find reasons to hate Obama. It's just petty.

Exactly. It's honestly pointless for you to use this against Obama. I personally don't think he's that great either, and don't trust him blindly, but would rather look at his actions than things that may be contemporary to his presidency.

Don't make a rant about it: Turkey uses the world's most expensive gas.
