so the question is this," Why are we not ppaying five dollars a gallon for gas right now?"

The gas companies and oil companies use every excuse in the world to raise the price of gasoline. Any pecieved disruption in supply sends the price of gas through the roof. Why not now?

THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION. Is it possible the oil companies raise and lower oil prices when it best suits their finances? No way that could happen.

so sherpa, if that is the answer, why wouldn't BP raise prices now, seeing they have billions in clean up costs, lawsuits, and years of unforseen expoenses ahead of them? seems to me that would "suit their finances"....

but they are dealing with an image crisis. They'll quote some other insignificant reason later to make up for their losses now.

I understand what are saying about BP not raising prices...but what of the others? Why wouldn't shell or marathon or any of the countless others raise their prices? Somethings up and its not the simple answer. So what do you for real think its about?Please don't feed me platitutudes or rhetoric. Reel thinkin' going on here!

pelosi is dumb but I'm sure even she could cum up with the answer- supply and demand perhaps- unemployed people don't use lots of fuel to commute to jobs they don't have nor do they use much energy to produce nothing- apparently the confused mulatto child in the W.H. wasn't a math major, oh, my bad we don't know if he even attended school, its a part of his transparency ya know

obama is owned by Lehman Bros and BP, why did he blame Wallstreet yet bail them out?? obama, mccain and clinton were all controlled by wallstreet, it made Edwards appear to be the best candidate but he ended up being a prick, so thats why I voted for Nader, I wanted change the rest of the country wanted hope- you got neither change or much hope at this point- the boy is inept and outta his league, the oil spill is the largest crisis since 911 and the child insists on talking Don'T Ask Don't Tell and pisses himself over McCartney- as Lennon would say- Strange Days Indeed

Why the racist comment Frank? It's fine if you don't like Obama's choices as president but what does the color of his skin have to do with anything?
