Could someone please help me understand how Obama influences the gas prices? I’m not interested in bashing the left or the right, I would just like to understand what folks feel Obama should have done to keep gas prices from rising. Again, I’d love to have a civil debate with facts, as opposed to name calling on either side.
As I understand, three things determine gas prices: supply, demand, taxes.
Supply – has been constrained due to the unrest in the Middle East and the tightened embargo of Iran (EU is much harder hit than the US though). I guess Obama could have opened up oil from Iran, but that sounds like a bad idea. Any oil that we have underground in the US would take years of oil field development before it could hit the market, so there’s not much anyone could do in the near-term. At one point, Obama did open up the US strategic oil reserves that increased supply, but we obviously can’t use up all of those oil reserves in case we need them in an emergency. Even if we did that, it would be a short-term solution.
Demand – as global economies begin to recover, demand for oil goes up. I guess the administration has tried to mandate that car manufacturers have to provide better average gas mileage so that demand grows more slowly, but that’s going to take a few years as well. The US is also slowly exploring alternative forms of energy for transportation such as natural gas, but it would take billions of dollars of investment and many years to build out the requisite infrastructure.
Taxes – I don’t believe the administration has raised any gasoline taxes.
Given the above, I’m having a tough time understanding what we feel the administration should do to lower prices. Would love to get thoughts beyond overly general recommendations like “we have too much regulation.”
notalemming
March 2, 2012
Dear AJ you really need to find out about quantitative easing, Monitization of national debt and how Obama is destroying the dollar. Now those things create a tax on everyone called inflation. Speculators know this stuff and they use it to reflect how much of a commodity they are willing to buy or sell, thus effecting market prices. This requires the use of real math however and most liberals only understand ObamaNomics where 2+2=5.
Once you understand those QE, Monitization and how it create a hidden tax you will be eager to cast the blame where it belongs, directly on the leadership.
Under Bush is was Just Big Oil men in the White House gouging profits, if you ask Nancy Pelosi. Speculation and a crashing dollar value had nothing to do with it.
The bulk of the problem is with Obama’s Treasury and the Privately Owned rouge Federal Reserve central bank in Washington DC
By the way, nice fake email address. What are you scared of? Being tracked by Janet Napolitano?
Greg

Greg, thanks for your reply. Based on your recommendation, I’ll look into QE a bit more to better understand its impact on gas prices. If you have links to pieces that you think are particularly informative, please post here. I’d love to take a look.
A few initial thoughts (without the benefit of research). Devaluation of our currency logically leads to rising commodity costs (including oil) as most commodities are denominated in dollars, therefore at least part of the rising costs for gasoline must be attributed to QE as you suggest. I’ll try to look into it to see how much that contributes (I’m sure it’s a meaningful amount, but it can’t be the only contributing factor).
One question I have is around the rising gas prices prior to QE occurring in 2008. Starting in 1998, gas prices have been shooting straight up on both a nominal and real basis (http://inflationdata.com/inflation/inflation_rate/gasoline_inflation.asp). The only exception was during the financial crisis, when demand fell off a cliff and prices came down. We’re now beginning to get back up the same curve as the crisis slowly ends. Our gas prices are essentially back where they were under President Bush. Again, I think you’re right and believe the QE contributes some to higher prices, but, based on the data, it seems that gas prices were going to continue to rise substantially even without QE. I don’t think we can blame the “Bush oil men gouging profits” as you say since oil prices are set by a global commodity market, not by the U.S. I’d have gone along if you’d have said “Saudi oil men gouging profits” (which unfortunately is still happening). The data seems to initially suggest that QE is likely not the primary driver of rising prices, as prices have been rising for nearly two decades, even when QE wasn’t in play. Would love to get your thoughts if you feel that I’m missing something here.
One other thought. If you believe that QE is the primary culprit for higher gas prices, shouldn’t the blame be placed on the Federal Reserve, as opposed to the Obama administration? The Fed is an independent agency that Obama doesn’t have any control over. Congress, in the creation of the Fed, wanted to make sure it remained out of politics. Bernanke was initially appointed by Bush, renominated by Obama and confirmed by different sessions of Congress. I don’t know enough to judge if Bernanke has done a good job or not (I’d like to do a bit more reading first), but regardless, if he is to blame, there are a lot of people responsible for his appointment. The reason for trying to be more specific about the blame isn’t to demonize or make excuses for one side or another, but rather to be precise about what changes we’re advocating for our country and the reasons why.
In terms of the email address, yes, I use an anonymous email address on most website as I don’t want to get random spam, and I don’t want to bother with reading lengthy privacy policies. I’d prefer that my email address not get sold to god knows who. I don’t believe that’s relevant to our conversation, unless I make claims based on my authority as an individual, as opposed to data, as I have been doing. I hope you can respect that.
Thanks!

Greg, found some charts that I thought you might be interested in (you’ll have to change the settings on the cart and plot them yourself to see what I looked at):
Chart 1 – US Dollar index (http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/currency)
Plot: Jan 2000 to Mar 2012
According to this chart, the vast majority of the dollar deflation that the U.S. has experienced recently occurred from Jan 01 to Jan 08, basically the Bush Presidency. The Dollar is actually higher now then it was when Obama took office.
Chart 2 – US Inflation Rate (http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/inflation-cpi)
Plot: Jan 1980 to Jan 2012 (I wanted to see a long-term view, but you could really plot anything)
According to this chart, the current U.S. inflation rate is essentially the same as it’s been since the mid 80s.
These charts would seem to indicate that inflation and the weakening dollar could not be the primary drivers of the large commodity cost increases we’ve seen recently, as they’re very much in-line with historical trends going back decades.
Again, I’m sincerely trying to learn and get smart on this stuff. Genuinely interested on your thoughts, especially if there’s other data I need to consider.
I’ll continue learning more about QE as per your suggestion and will report back on what I learn.

Yes I have seen this cookbook.
More lies are published about real inflation when you remove gas and food from inflationary calculations.
Perhaps you need to spend sometime over at http://www.zerohedge.com. Lots of QE to be seen here.
Glad to hear you will do your own research and not count on the propped up numbers and twisted facts the past three administrations have used to cook the books for the sake of political points.
Look at this video about the value of 1 OZ of silver when Obama took office and how much gas you could buy.
This VIDEO is from the Senate Hearings on Monetary issues from March 2nd 2012.
Bernanke is in the hot seat and Congressman Ron Paul is talking.
NOTICE NO ONE REFUTES HIS CLAIMS ABOUT THE VALUE SLIVER.
http://yourdaddy.net/2012/03/03/ron-paul-thefederal-reserve-is-going-to-self-destruct/
The reason is because you cant refute the truth.
This is a result of QE, not pumping to little or too much gas.
Its not related to dropping bombs on Libya or burning Qur’ans Afghanistan.
This is a direct result of devaluing the dollar.
Good luck with your research. I hope you find the answers you need to stand right with this.

I found an explanation of monetary policies for dummies, so I can understand it :-).
It’s in Forbes magazine and it’s by an economics professor that was actually against QE, so I think it’s a balanced perspective. He says “All this is not to say that I am a fan of Quantitative Easing. I am most certainly not, but not because I think it will cause inflation. It is simply ineffective.”
He also explains that QE doesn’t actually cause inflation in the real world as most of the conditions under which that would occur, are not true conditions in the real world. You can read the full article with his explanation here:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/johntharvey/2011/05/14/money-growth-does-not-cause-inflation/print/
He says: “The bottom line is that the “money growth==>inflation” view makes perfect sense in some alternate universe where all those assumptions regarding the variables DO hold, but not here, not today, not in the United States of America in 2011. That’s not how it works. It’s a damn shame, I know, because it’s so simple and intuitively appealing and it would make controlling inflation really simple. But, if we are to develop useful policies then we need a model better suited to the way the modern financial system works.”
Given that the data shows that we actually haven’t had much inflation, he seems to be correct that QE doesn’t cause inflation.
AJ Sanders
March 5, 2012
Greg, I’ll take a look at all of the links you’ve sent when I have a little more time.
First thoughts, and with all due respect:
Inflation – if you include the price of gas in the inflation figures you use, then your entire argument becomes circular. You’re saying that gas prices are high because inflation is high (caused by QE). But if the biggest driver of inflation is the gas price (under your definition), then your argument basically becomes “gas prices are high because gas prices are high.” You would have to look at inflation without the price of gas if you’re trying to explain the price of gas.
Value of the dollar – you just state that these books are cooked. Could you provide a link to something else (from an objective source) that shows that the value of the dollar is depreciated significantly during the Obama administration? I’ve provided a source that refutes that, if you think that’s inaccurate, please provide a different, objective source.
Comparing the value of the dollar to the price of silver (or any commodity) and saying that the value of the dollar has depreciated relative to the cost of silver is only reasonable if you assume that the supply and demand of silver has remained unchanged over that time frame. If this were true, then the only thing that’s changed is the value of the dollar, which would have had to go down. This isn’t true, as the demand for silver has shot up as developing countries demand more silver and as developed economies demand more silver for industrial use as the economy improves. The value of silver has appreciated across all currencies, as demand has gone up and the marginal cost of extracting silver has gone up over time. This is true for most commodities across most currencies, not just the dollar. If you provide data that shows that the price of silver and gold has depreciated for other currencies while it’s appreciated for the dollar, that would prove your point. This simply isn’t the case. If you believe this is the case, could you please point me to the data that shows this?
I’m enjoying our dialogue. I’m glad we can have an objective discussion about facts, that we’re both open to considering, even if we start from different viewpoints. I honestly believe that both of us want what’s best for the future of our country. If I can better understand the facts you’re working with and you can better understand the facts I’m working with, hopefully we can help each other see multiple sides of the argument that will help inform us to make better decisions. I’ve already learned a lot about QE through your suggestions.
Thanks!

Oh, and I’m completely with you on doing everything we can to make sure our dollars aren’t going overseas to anyone, and particularly to countries that often don’t have our interests at heart.
We need to figure out a way to responsibly increase domestic supply and decrease domestic demand. We can’t continue down the path we’re on at this rate. I think in this respect, all of the previous administrations have failed us.

The supply is restricted because of no new production on federal lands and the Keystone pipeline BS does not help. Don’t give me the enviro line or that the oil is exported. Nearly ALL increased production is from privately owned land. So at least that is safe until the admin figures out how to restrict that. This green/renewable energy is just a dream. Until companies can realize a profit without massive govt. subsides it will go nowhere.
AJ Sanders

No need for the enviro line. I actually agree with you, but in the near-term, none of that impacts today’s gas prices. It would take years for that oil to hit our gas tanks. I even agree that green/renewables aren’t the answer in the near-term, they’re just not cost effective yet, but hopefully they will be at some point. We still need to make the investments so that in the future we can reap the rewards. Regardless, none of thathttp://yourdaddy.net/2011/04/25/the-gas-pump-hope-and-change-sticky-note-campaign/#respond stuff impacts today’s gas price, so we’re in agreement.

Go find out about quantitative easing and how it destroys the value of the US dollar. Oh and Bush was not running the Federal Reserve printing presses 24/7 like Obama. You need to learn what effects market forces other than supply and demand. Policy plays a huge role in economic growth and contraction. If it did not then regulations would never be a point of contention for those that have to part with the profits lost dealing with said regulations that they otherwise would use to pay stock holders. Many of these profits find there way into teachers unions pensions etc…
You liberals just don’t do real math do you?
AJ Sanders
March 9, 2012
I would have to agree with Seriously on this one (so far).
Here are a collection of reports from Fox News that state why Presidents can’t control the gas price (their basic arguments are the same ones I’ve been making):
http://www.treehugger.com/fossil-fuels/fox-news-explains-why-presidents-cant-control-gas-prices-2008-video.html
Greg, the only argument you’ve put forward thus far is that it’s all QE, I’ve highlighted several errors with this argument, and you haven’t directly addressed any of my factual concerns with your argument:
1. Fed – Obama doesn’t control the Fed, it’s an independent agency that can do whatever it wants. Congress is the only one that has any oversight and even that requires significant agreement from Congress. Even if you want to blame it all on QE, then the Fed is at fault, not Obama.
2. Impact of QE – you claim that it caused inflation and dollar depreciation. I’ve provided hard data that disproves your claims. The dollar has actually appreciated during the Obama administration and using gas prices in the inflation figure to explain the gas price is circular logic. Inflation is fairly low and in-line with historical trends. Also, even though most countries started with the gold standard, not a single country on the planet uses it now. It doesn’t work. it inhibits the use of monetary policy to address economic cycles (please see Greece and why the Euro as structured doesn’t work).
When we examine your arguments, no data supports them. When I’ve provided hard data from a pretty objective source (Department of Labor Statistics), you just claim that it’s bad data without substantiating your claim or providing alternatives.
I would have hoped that you would also be open to reconsidering your position, rather than just stating what Ron Paul or other politicians tell you. I’ve even told you when I’ve agreed with parts of your argument, I would have hoped you’d have been objective and critical as well.
notalemming
March 10, 2012
Anyone that thinks the dollar has actually appreciated in value since Obama has been office is seriously smoking crack or Meth or both. This is a farce, an outright lie! In 2006 you could buy 4 gallons of gas with 1 troy ounce of Silver. Now you can buy 11 gallons.
And as far as Obama and QE, well he is the one spending it all and if it were not being spent like this the Treasury would not have the Fed running overtime. You are an adult and should be able to think for yourself. You are not doing so.
Think as you see fit. I know the truth and the facts and I am going to try and save as many fellow humans as I can from Obama. I will not waste any more time on you or your whimsical claims that are based in news stories and not facts. The department of Labor and ‘Politics’ always skews numbers. Like unemployment is 8.1 or what ever Obama wants it to be. I can trust about 2 people in Washington DC Ron Paul and me when I cam there.
Here is some FACTS from Dr. Paul
Have a nice life AJ.
AJ Sanders
March 11, 2012
Greg, your only response to my factual, data-backed statements is that I’m smoking crack and you don’t believe my numbers. That’s fine, it’s tough to reason with someone if that’s the only response they can give you without any real facts of their own.
Using the price of silver and saying how many gallons of gas you could have bought with it previously versus now is absolutely absurd. I’ve even explained why that’s the case. That’s like saying you used to be able to buy 10 gallons of gas with 1 share of Apple in 2006, but now you can buy 50 gallons in 2011, therefore the dollar has gone down. It’s absurd. The underlying asset has appreciated – again, supply and demand that you just want to ignore.
If you think Fox news is objective…I’ll just stop there.
Thanks for the well wishes. I sincerely wish you the best in your life as well.
One piece of advice, and I know it’s unsolicited, and it genuinely isn’t meant in a mean-spirited way. Try to just speak respectfully with all people, even those that disagree with you. For the most part, you have spoken to me that way, and I appreciate it. That hasn’t been the case with other folks though. I think both you and the other person will come out better for it.

After posting it here to my blog I found a page on Facebook as well that had started the campaign just before I did.
But I must say the credit for the Georgia Supermarkets and hitting all the business’s that we can with this was.
Keep Posting America. Oh and Blame the Federal Reserve too. It Is Not Just Obama!
