And that to me is just plain opportunism and greed. An that is happening NOW, not under Obama, NOW. So i think it's unfair to blame any Obama policies for high prices. Sometimes prices go up because they have to but they never seem to go back down because they can.
I know that. Obama can not be blamed fo any of this. Fine. So wait a year and a half if he wins and we will have this conversation again. I hopw we can all say I'm wrong and the country will be doing great!
