32. So, President Obama controls oil futures speculators now?
I, too, drive for a living, and spend close to TEN THOUSAND DOLLArs a month on fuel, but I am not stupid enough to blame the president for the price of a commodity that is driven by market forces.

Do you blame Mr. Obama for the increased price of soybeans? Gold? Why not blame him for the price of rising pork belly futures while you're at it.

Petroleum will become increasingly expensive over your lifetime, you better learn how to deal with it, as that is the reality of the situation no matter where you are on Earth.
