Like I said, some Math, be my guest if you choose. 
I think you divide the lower # by the higher one.

Remember where prices were about August 2008? Probably best if we ignore them... |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

I don't remember paying $0.99 since I had my first car (during the Clinton years).... certainly don't remember that price in 2006... |

My bad RRH, lowest was $1.39 in 2006, had to be earlier than that
but it was while I was on this site which was since 2003. Gas war for about
a month went below $1.00. |

It's funny, when gas went up under Bush he said he can't do anything about it. Yet now people want to blame Obama...even though he can't do much about it either.

OK Spence, I did the math for you.
Obama's first 3+years in office gas has gone up 200%.
Gas was down-9% when Bush left the office.
When prices rose after Bush was elected he was blamed because it was said he
and Cheney were oilmen and profiting from it.
If so why would they want to bring down the price of oil 9% from the time
elected to the end of their terms? |

The point Jeffy was making, was that, yes, Bush was blamed, but all his defenders were saying it was beyond his control. Now the same defenders (or at least their idealogs) are blaming Obama.... |

the difference is that while the causes may not be under the control of the president, some solutions are, Bush was willing to take action and I believe Clinton actually tapped into the strategic reserves...which was controversial...this administration is perfectly content with high energy prices..they promised them if you recall |
