Is Obama responsible for lower gas prices?

I think it's an international conspiracy to hurt Russia.

There is no question this is hurting Russia's economy badly. I do not think we should rule out the possibility that this fact, low oil prices, did not go into government planning. I do not believe it is the only reason oil prices are low, but it is one factor for keeping prices low.

this Obama hate affair some of them have has never been about fairness.

The OP is just looking for a gripe.

Oh, yawn! :sleep:

The oil production in the US up because of drilling on private land. The price of oil has been up long enough that it has made it feasible to drill in new areas. Opec is scrambling to figure out what to do to control prices better but they are struggling according to reports. And as has been said Russia is a by product.

Our dear Saudi friends will drop the price of oil as much as possible if it will put out oil fields out of business. The Jihadists want the USA dependent upon them. If we were to achieve energy independence and open up the Keystone pipeline, we could say good-bye to a lot of other suppliers such as the Islamofascists and the Venezuelans, for example. If Iran is hurt, that is part of the Sunni-Shia thing in my opinion. As for Russia, they are sometimes enemies of Islam and sometimes co-conspirators but in the long run, Russia, too, stand in the way of Islam, especially to the extent that there is a Christian revival among the lower classes of Russia.
