Speculators have been allowed to manipulate the system thereby keeping gas prices higher despite what the market traditionally dictates. The Koch bros., who are part of the energy industry and who are allowed via regulation or lack thereof, to manipulate the system and keep their profits coming despite the (cough, cough) free market.

So what is their point other than to spin negative on Obama. When gas was over $4 during bush, I remember VP Cheney saying, hey if you take inflation into account it is still a lower ppg than during the peak of gas shortages of in the 70′s. If you don’t believe me it is in the public record. Cheney also said deficits don’t matter, Reagan proved that.
