It will absolutely help get money back into circulation. This is a huge help for the economy.

If gas prices fall below $3.00, that means Obama is certain to lose because the economy is slowing. If gas prices are above $3.00, it means Obama is certain to lose because he didn't approve the Keystone pipeline.

Either way, he loses.

However, that was a couple of months ago when the price was high. Seems they have changed their minds now that its down to reasonable levels.

Of course, even if true, the guy filling up his gas tank doesn't give a rat's ass who Obama may have conspired with to get the gas price down.
