Gas Prices Continue To Rise

This has to be a record price increases for gas in the Las Vegas Valley.
2 weeks ago, gas was around $3.00 a gallon.
Now, 2 weeks later, gas is about $3.45 a gallon.
There is no international crisis, no refinery or pipeline issues.  Nothing.
When gas prices under the Bush administration, most liberals yelled "no blood for oil.".
Now they are silent.
There were calls for investigations into the gas and oil companies.  The left is still quiet.
So, why the huge gas price hikes?
Since we still get a lot of gas from the Middle East and other countries, maybe the dollar has weakened so much because of the U.S debt and the U.S. printing money like there is no tomorrow, that it has increased the cost of a barrel of oil.
Maybe there is some speculation, but not to the point where gas prices rise 45 cents in 2 weeks.
Whatever the reason, you know Obama loves it because he enjoys high gas prices and has said so himself.
And of course, these high gas prices hurt the poor the hardest, but do you honestly believe Obama cares about the poor?  Oh, hell no, he doesn't.  He got their votes and now he throws to the garbage pile, like he did during his first term.
But since the poor overwhelming voted for Obama, I really don't feel sorry for them.
