$7 a gallon in January??!!!

[Planogirl]

There was an email sent before election day, from Dr. Dobson (Focus on the Family), that gave a list of doomsday scenarios that would befall the nation if Obama was elected. That's where the $7 gas notion came from. There may be other sources .. in fact, I'd be surprised if there weren't many other sources. But, I remember reading Dr. Dobson's email last month.

I can only imagine what some of his other doomsday predictions were. So much silliness.

I choose to believe in logic.

Why are crude oil prices low? The world wide economy is slowing down, resulting in less demand, hence lower prices.

Could one have predicted that this past summer? Yes, many of us warned that strong economic growth would not continue for much longer.

Will crude oil prices double by January? Extremely doubtful. Will the outgoing regime in America add $5/gallon in taxes? Extremely doubtful. Will the new regime add $5/gallon in taxes in the first weeks of 2009? Extremely doubtful.

Barring any catrostophic event (and it would need to have far reaching global impact in order to raise crude oil prices to $200/barrel) there is no way that Americans will be paying $7/gallon two months from now.

OP, do you know the primary source of American oil, by the way? The answer may surprise you, or cause you to think differently about what you have posted.

I had gotten that email also.
But I had at one time gotten one saying if Mccain won then the gas prices would soar also.
I guess it depends on what party sent it out.

Apparently Obama said that he was gonna forcefully make the prices rise.

Right after he institutes Sharia law and makes abortion and gay marriage mandatory.

And the thread makes the move to the Community Board!!! I suspect that it may see some interesting detours soon.

Apparently someone felt that it was not a 'Budget' topic?

Google "$7 gallon gas" and you find several legitimate news stories.

Back in the spring, when gas prices were rising, there was legitimate speculation that the price might reach $7 a gallon. The economy has changed considerably since then.

I haven't been able to find anything in legitimate news media which suggests that we will see a price increase for gas in the near future.

DH's brother only told DH what he heard on the news and what Obama said. Weither or not Obama is lying or telling the truth

See - that's the part most of us are objecting to - you need to quote Obama saying this. You need to provide a link.

Not going to happen.
You can not provide what did not happen

Or the third option, which would be Obama didn't say this......

 

[NMAmy]

There is no link because it was on some news that my brother-in-law heard it on. I stated that in my OP.

I'm guessing there is no link because he didn't actually say it. If he had said it, you would have no problem finding a source because it would be all over the news.

 

[Pin Wizard]

And since there's no link, this can go back to the BB. Correct?

I think some economic classes would be more helpful than third hand information.
