We will make of it...the entire world was in financial meltdown when Obama took office. Why the right forgets this is inexplicable. Credit markets were frozen and the US was dropping 700,000 to 800,000 jobs a month.

Gasoline prices were $4 just prior to the 2008 election and you know that, being the conscientious history student you are...

According to you: "the entire world was in financial meltdown when Obama took office."......and yet gas was $1.89 a gallon.

Now it's $3.76, according to the government source.

Paint a happy face on it and tell us it's better now.

It is better now. Demand has brought the price back up, we aren't bleeding jobs and credit is flowing a bit more easily.

Yes...the price collapsed, like the economy did. If you want to talk about history, you need to include more than one day.
