By the way don't get me wrong, Ido. I've said for years that we pay far less than the other countries do, and as such we tend to be more wasteful about our consumption. I think we need to fix that problem.

But I do have an issue with Obama being full of shit on the campaign trail if he didn't really care about the $4 a gallon gas. People blamed that on Bush (incorrectly I might add). Are the people who bitched to high heaven saying they couldn't afford to drive anywhere just going to roll over when Obama intentionally raises prices to that same mark? Or were they full of shit too when they said it was hurting them? It can't be both ways.

Things weren't great under Carter. People were very unhappy about sitting in lines every other day for 6 hours to get their tanks filled up. I hope that doesn't happen again.
