Other than the terrible mid-Atlantic storms and resulting power outages, a pretty good week.

Average gallon of gas cost 22 percent more on Pres. Bush's last 4th of July in office than it does today.
($4.12 then, $3.37 today)

He's just lulling you into a sense of false security. As soon as he wins his second term it's

BAM!

Into the FEMA re-education camps!


Sorry, but it's a fact.

I'm always a little wary of using gas prices, up or down, as an indicator of domestic success or failure. Too many external factors beyond our control have a major influence on it.

Totally agree Spock! It's the death of the conservative talking point that's so much fun here. Couldn't resist.

Your optimism is refreshing.

As soon as they go up again, it will be because Obama spent 250 million dollars a day for his 4th of July campaign trip to Paris with a suitcase full of aborted fetuses that he denied medical care to.

Thanks, but it's not random optimism. Look at this chart of gas price history and you'll see that @#$%& come in the spring, lows in the fall. Barring another Katrina-type disaster, it's likely only downward for gas prices between now and the election.

A week as in the past 7 calendar days. That still works, right?
