Feeling pain at the pump? Gas prices have doubled since Mr. Obama took office. According to the GasBuddy gasoline price tracking web site, the price of a gallon of regular gas was around $1.79 when Mr. Obama took office. Today the national average is $3.58. The lowest average price in the continental United States is $3.31 in Tulsa Oklahoma, the highest is $4.14 in Santa Barbara, CA. Four-dollar-a-gallon gas has arrived on average throughout California, and a number of other states are headed in that direction. Consumer price index (CPI) figures from February show an unadjusted 12 month gasoline inflation rate of 19.2%, but in the last month alone prices jumped 6.8%, probably because of oil price increases due to instabilities in the Middle East. If the trend continues, gas prices would double again within a year. 100% gasoline price inflation is nothing to brag about, but imagine Mr. Obama going into the 2012 election having to explain why gas costs $7.00 a gallon. I'm sure the White House would spin it as one of their "Green" initiatives.

The similiarities to Carter continue. Remember how the uber Left here and elsewhere rejected that comparision a year or so ago? Kinda amusing to recall that...
Buy smaller cars.
Same thing Carter suggested. Thanks for demonstrating another similiarity.
And Carter was right. Get your fat American asses into smaller cars.
My ass isn't fat, speak for yourself (laughing) Yeah, Carter was so 'right' he lost in a historical landslide in 80. Just like Owe-bama will next year, again, thanks for bringing up another similiarity.
