And the result...
Gas 1.84/gallon on January 26 2009
Gas 3.05/gallon today and climbing.

Remember the Exxon windfall profit tax speech, gonna take that money and help deserving families pay their high energy bills Obama said.
What did he think would happen, even without the tax?

The last thing the UAE wants is a war-mongering GOP hawk to be elected President of the United States this November. If gas prices threaten Obama's re-election, they will be lowered.
