Obama has repeatedly said he is putting pressure on Saudi Arabia to increase oil production to lower the price of gasoline.
Obama himself is the real reason oil prices are so high with no end in sight. He is restricting the flow of oil by refusing to renew or agree to any new permits. He won't even consider lifting the moratorium on building refineries here. He refuses to allow or open up new drilling in places such as Anwar, the Gulf, or any inland drilling.
Yet, Obama himself admits that increasing production will reduce the price we pay at the pump. He believes this, he knows this, but he has no intention of seeing prices drop. It's all in his plan to force everyone to go green.

Yes, Obama singlehandedly decides the price of gas in our country. That is one of any presidents main responsibilities, to dictate the price we pay at the pump. Bush did it Clinton did it Palin wanted to do it

That's not what he said, thrsty. Obama isn't responsible for the current price hike, but he could prevent another one by lifting the moratoriums and letting Americans drill for oil here and in the gulf instead of allowing Brazil to. Yes, while he was in Brazil last month he agreed to let them drill off our shores.

I guess the title, "Obama responsible for high gas prices" isn't clear to you.

Yes, it is clear, and I wasn't agreeing with it, I was pointing out that he could have prevented high gas prices and still can.

Hawkeye, I think you should buy an electric car and modify your boat to run off of used fryer oil. You'll be a much happier man.
