Of all the things affecting the gas prices the President has such a small...small...small maybe .1% affect on that.
Lack of refineries (Pres has no control)
Tapping into reserves (pres has control, but this wont lower prices one bit due to the supply being less than demand)
OPEC (pres has minimal amount of effect. All he can do is beg for lower cost per barrel)(too bad OPEC sells for what people will buy for so its not going to do anything)
Nation that wants to become less dependent on oil (pres has already offered tax breaks on hybrids, soler energy breaks, and much more)
