Sarah Palin is on another rant blaming President Obama
for the increase in gas prices. On Tuesday she posted on
her Facebook page a statement that the President and
his administration were intentionally driving the prices of
gas up, by engaging in backdoor policies.
"His war on domestic oil and gas exploration and
production has caused us pain at the pump, endangered
are already sluggish economic recovery, and threatened
our national security," Palin wrote, before laying out what
she thinks are crooked dealings by the President.
I am not an oil expert, but through out history gas prices
fluctuate up and down two years before a Presidential
election. Getting the highest the summer before an
election.If Sarah Palin is going to blame the President
and his team she needs to look at the summer of 2008.
Does she remember that summer what gas prices were?
Was President Obama in office that summer or was that
a man named George Bush? That is the summer Sarah
Palin was the Governor of Alaska and her daughter
Bristol was pregnant. Were the gas prices just as high?
Yes they were. Here is a list of the gas prices for the
summer of 2008 from consumer reports at:

Regular Gas June 2, 2008 $3.98
Regular Gas June 9, 2008 $4.04
Regular Gas June 30, 2008 $4.10
Regular Gas July 7, 2008 $4.11

Regular Gas Aug. 11, 2008 $3.81
Aug. 18, 2008 $3.74
Aug 25, 2008 $3.69
Sarah Palin always blames her villain President Obama
for everything wrong in the country and the world. But
she never does her research before her blame game.
There is more than one reason for the increase in gas
and it is not President Obama's backroom dealings!
Elizabeth Bluemink of the ADN newspaper wrote an
article on Nov. 22, 2008 when Sarah Palin was the
Governor of Alaska. The article was titled "Alaska's
high gas prices bewilder state lawmakers." State law-
makers seeking help for residents, run into dead ends.
The lawmakers of the state of Alaska do not know
why the price of gas was so high? The legislature was
considering, to put into law and establish state control
over prices, to enacting a price gouging-law.
But the Republican House member spearheading the
report said he doesn't favor such laws because
additional regulation might harm consumers instead of
helping them.
"I don't think I would be inclined to vote for it," said
Judiciary Committee Chairman Jay Ramaras, R-of
Fairbanks.
Ramaras was getting frustrated about the difference in
gas prices from the lower 48 compared to Alaska. He
urged Governor Sarah Palin to meet with the two
refiners that produce Alaska's gasoline and pressure
them to lower their prices.
But the Palin administration wants to hold off on taking
action until the Department of law finishes it's investigation
into illegal pricing.
"We wouldn't want to prejudge the outcome," said Bill
McAllister, a Palin spokesperson.
Was Sarah Palin involved in backroom policy with the
gas situation in Nov, 2008. Who knows she is always
lying about something. Sarah before you go bashing the
President cover your tracks. Oh I forgot you can do
and say whatever you want.
In conclusion the buying and selling of gasoline is a
complicated business based on anticipation as much as
reality. The turmoil in the Middle East is a big factor for
the spike in prices. When crude oil goes up gas goes up.
When crude oil prices go down gas goes down.
It's not President Obama and his administration!
