Seriously though, graphs over time are interesting to look at. Not particularly helpful in assigning blame or exempting any president if that's the goal. If you wanted to make a leap of blaming some one - both Obama and Bush are on the hook because they are/were the MIC while prices have gone up.
Cliff's Notes for the ADD crowd - Adjusted for inflation, gas prices have steadily declined since the 1920's (not counting occasional spikes). Since the turn of the century, they have steadily marched upwards, even adjusted for inflation. 2 presidents and almost 3 terms of office haven't really changed that.
