Obama On Gas Prices

President Obama has leashed out in defense of the public about high gas prices. Some believe that he only did this to prove that he was on the side of the American people, however, whatever reason he did it for he did make a huge point. The high cost of gasoline is prohibiting many people from being able to buy many of the other things that they need or want. Obama is doing his best to figure out a way in which gas prices could be lowered in order to help the people out. However, most people are pointing out that he is doing this in time for reelections to take place. Many people throughout the United States are blaming the Democrat party for the high gas prices and are also blaming them for the position that it is putting Americans in since many are choosing to fill up or to put food on their tables.

 

So what is Obama doing to make this easier on people? He is calling for an end to the tax breaks that big oil companies are getting and is looking into the market to make sure that nothing illegal has been done in order to keep the gas prices at the high rates that they are right now. However, it would seem that the Republican party is not interested in hearing the suggestions and are wanting to leave well enough alone and find another way in which they can lower gas prices.

Gas prices have fallen slightly when Osama Bin Laden was killed and the President has said that the world will see lower gas prices because of this. However, this does not seem to be enough for most people. They want a fix to the problem, not just a way to pacify themselves. At this point, though, who knows what that resolution could be and both parities seem to be arguing about this.
