62% of Americans disapprove of Obama on gas prices

While it’s true that President Barack Obama saw a marginal bump in his approval ratings last month, the issue of gas prices continues to hang over his head. Obama has finally decided to approve part of the Keystone XL pipeline, but outside of that small step his response to rising gas prices has been lip-service and to wage rhetorical warfare on oil companies.
Obama may think that these tactics are going to appease voters, but according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll, Americans are starting to notice his inaction as gas prices hit their wallets hard:
A third of all Americans say surging gasoline prices have caused serious financial hardship in their households, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, with more than six in 10 reporting some pinch.
President Obama continues to be harshly reviewed for his handling of the situation, even as he eludes some of the direct blame.
Feelings of hardship and public judgment on the president are little changed over the past month, despite continually rising prices, suggesting some may be accommodating themselves to higher pump prices. The Department of Energy reports that over the past four weeks, the average price of a gallon has risen 11 cents to $3.94 across the country.
[…]
The political angle on gas prices extends beyond hardship to where people place blame. Obama is taking a beating in public opinion on his dealings with gas prices. Just 28 percent approve of the job he is doing in this area; 62 percent disapprove, with half saying they disapprove “strongly.” Those are among the worst ratings on any issue during his presidency.As many Democrats strongly disapprove as strongly approve of Obama’s handling of the situation.
Obama likes to talk about how we’re seeing more oil produced domestically, but this isn’t because of any action his administration has taken. They’re are merely able to take credit for the policies of his predecessor. One way you can tell that Obama is largely sitting idly by, according to Steven Hayward of the American Enterprise Institute, is that oil production on federal lands has been flat and natural gas production from federal lands has been on a noticable decline.
As gas prices continue to rise, eclipsing $4 per gallon and perhaps even moving close to $5 in the summer, more Americans will notice, and they will largely blame Obama’s consistent inaction and refusal to get behind an energy policy that will both open up the United States’ reserves and create jobs.
THE PRICE OF OIL GAS DIESEL - THE REAL REASONS.
AN ORGANIZED RIPPING OFF THE CITIZENS OF THE WORLD BY US GOVERNMENT / EUROPEAN GOVERNMENT / ARAB GOVERNMENTS.
The raise of IRAN an Islamic republic is challenge to ARAB kingdoms. The Raise of IRAN in ASIA should have been watched with alarm by Asian powers like India, China. But these giants are ignoring the developments in IRAN and do not see these developments as a threat.
But the western governments, western media are going full blast against the threat from IRAN. To fight this threat, to minimize this threat, To counter this threat - the money should come from people who feels threatened.
USA and Europe cannot be threatened by IRAN. Even if Iran makes a missile and a Nuclear bomb, guiding this package in thin air across continents is not possible. Except USA and Russia no COUNTRY can do this guidance in real life with out the GPS of USA / Russia.. Existence of Israel cannot be threatened by IRAN since there is no vested interest to sustain a hate campaign in both countries.
The real threat, if at all there is threat is to Arab kingdoms. The wiki leaks and the imprisonment of a whistle blower by US. Federal government is the proof. The cases against Assange in western courts is an added evidence of the secret plan to ROB the citizens of west and rest of the world also with higher GAS prices.
Saudi rulers is on record instructing the President of USA to cut the head of the snake. A snake which is very far away from Europe and USA needs to be killed to safe guard Arab Kings by republican USA. Someone has to pay the cost to the contract killers.
The plan devised and propagated is Block the sale of Iran oil. Iran will become weak with no oil money and will not make nuclear bomb. The plan on the hidden paper is when Iran oil is blocked from market, the oil prices will raise even double. The extra income can be paid for the military machine manufacturing and fighting forces of west. So in short rob the western citizens to pay for the military machine both fighting and manufacturing, pay under the table the criminal politicians of west IN SWISS BANK ACCOUNTS for raising the Iran threat in high pitch.
Instead of all the failed UN resolution and European Sanctions, all these western leaders have to tell Arabs, very rich Arabs like Qatar, Kuwait , Saudi is produce more oil and sell them at US$ 30 a barrel to crush IRAN . At US$ 100 a barrel oil IRAN is a nuclear threat, at US$ 30 a Barrel oil Iran is near Somalia in economy.
Members of D A F F A ( Democracy And Freedom For All) were willing to travel to USA to join the campaign against war, enlighten the citizens of a good plan, however the Obama administration refused VISA , indicating US can only export democracy and no one is allowed to import or re export democracy into USA .
WE PEOPLE OF WORLD REQUEST THE GAS USERS LIKE YOU TO IMPRESS UPON THE MR. OBAMA / MR. CANDIDATE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO ALLOW MARKET FORCES / POLITICAL FORCES IN MIDDLE EAST TO DECIDE THE OIL PRICES THEN MANIPULATION OF MARKETS BY USA POLITICIANS / GOVERNMENT FOR PERSONAL BENEFIT.
