With the Democratic control Congress investigating gas prices and large profits of oil companies, gas prices came down. Maybe the election of Obama brought the gas prices down, who knows. Am I happy of high gas prices, no, but I see where having sanctions on Iran is a good thing. Do I think electing any of the Republicans currently running is going to bring down gas prices, no, but I also do not hold Obama responsible for the rise in gas prices.
