here you go, he got criticism when gas prices soared, he gets some praise when they come back down. but the prices are still higher than when he took office, right? that’s what he’ll be judged on. On what happened during his time in office.

He released gas from the reserves, increasing supply, which probably helped drive prices down.

Fair enough?

Yes jim both are true and factors

But not really my point.. the GOP. Attacked Biden on gas prices ( basically lied ). Then again on the release of oil from the strategic oil reserves

They never cared about what Americans were paying at the pumps.. because they wanted those higher prices they thought they would get votes yet

GOP pans oil reserve sale despite a long and bipartisan history
Presidents from both parties have ordered sales from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to soften spikes in gas prices

Republicans are criticizing President Joe Biden's move to release 15 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to drive fuel prices down. There's just one catch: Former President Donald Trump proposed a similar idea during his administration, which many Republican lawmakers supported at the time.


Republicans have pinned the pain at the pump on Biden without explaining why, save for griping about a “Green New Deal” that never passed a Democratic Congress. The GOP has no real plans for reducing prices, and its one semblance of vague grunt of an idea, more drilling, would not do anything to lower prices at the pump.

The GOP can’t tell the Truth to their voters. If they do they will be labeled Rinos instantly

You want another pandemic shutdown?
Or do you just conveniently forget that oil prices tanked, your hero “negotiated” a market manipulation to increase crude prices and we then paid for that and repaired it during Biden’s administration.
