I voted for President Obama... I feel pretty bad about it but at least I got it over with. I just had to vote on the issues... Romney's economic plan is a mess. I wanted to vote third party but wimped out.
never voted in my life and probably wont be running to the voting station any time soon....as soon as we get a candidate that DOES NOT dodge the gas price issue and tell us they will lower them...then perhaps I may vote for him/her...

The president can do remarkably little to influence gas prices.

The president can do remarkably little to influence gas prices.
then why is it a topic in the presidential debates? and why do both of them dodge the question? and why are gas prices going down a couple of weeks before the election? I do know that the growing global economy and increase in demand has a lot to do with gas prices but c'mon they went from a dollar something to almost 3 bucks litterally over night after 9/11...

They dodge it because they can't really do much about it.

Your state government and the oil companies have a hell of a lot more to do with gas prices than the president does.
I love seeing people misdirected ^^^^^^ THE US GOVERNMENT DOES IN FACT CONTROL/INFLUENCE GAS PRICES...get your heads outta the gutter people...China and India are in fact driving oil prices up...however they have been doing that for years now and it really is not that significant...and all of a sudden just like that oil prices are skyrocketing??? them two countries havnt changed in years...what has changed?? oh this new war on terrorism...what is the biggest expense to that cause?? of course it is oil...and who is the front runner on the war on terrorism??? that would be the United States of America...dragging down our economy with high oil prices to support an unwinnable war...that is why they dodge the question, because niether one has a solid solution for getting our troops outta the war...

You think India and China haven't changed in years? You seem to be very confused. Do you have any refrence to support your claim that oil is the biggest expense in the war on terror? It is quite clear that you have no clue about what you are talking.
LOL you seem to be confused if you dont think oil is the biggest expense to the war it is by far the largest expense...are you kidding me? And ok I'll give you your argument that china and india are a little more how do I put it.."in demand" of oil...but they have been trying to do it for years..but all of a sudden oil prices skyrocket after the war(s) began?? come on get with the program people..it takes an incredible amount of oil/gas to run a war in two-three separate countries over a 10+ year stint or do you think they are all driving priuses to the battle? no they are like 5-10 mpg tanks(if that even) and maybe 15 mpg hummers...and that doesnt even include the 100's of sorties flown daily....you have no idea how much they use over there...it would shock you..and if you want a reference his name is Dan Henderson 4 star general (ret.) U.S. Army..I know him personally..

The DOD spends around 16 billion on fuel at least for 2008.... hardly the biggest expense

thanks..that would be ONLY the Department of Defense...and 2008 wow gas was over a dollar cheaper back then...the department of defense is not the whole of the US military..sorry bro...and even so 16 billion yes thats a b not an m...that just justifies my point even more..thanks...

Again, do you have a source to support your claim? How much does the DoD spend on fuel? On labor? On maintenance/upkeep of posts and other facilities? Purchase/maintenance of major end items like ships and aircraft? Simply saying that oil is the biggest cost doesn't make it true, neither does knowing a General. And yes, I do know how much they know over there. You do not know me, what I have done, or what I know. Ignorance FTL.
"I do know how much they know over ther" WTF?? are you talking about...whatever...all the things you list like maintenance and all that stuff...EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING takes petroleum...I'm done arguing with people who have no clue as to what I am saying...it is plain and simple...
LOL besides this is so far off topic I'd be surprised this aint locked before I'm finished typing this
