How much do you want to bet that the sitting in at a San Francisco gas station--praying for God to "deliver us from high gas prices"--voted for the administration that adopted the policies that are helping to keep gas prices high in the first place?
P.S. I never thought I'd say this, but: Hillary Clinton, STFU.

I thought that this administration's policy of fighting an unprovoked war followed by an open-ended occupation was specifically designed to keep the oil supply under American control, thus suppressing prices and preventing the second-largest oil fields in the world from falling under the control of a government that might want to abandon the petro-dollar standard and start dealing in Euros.
I can't really blame these guys for high oil prices. We're just coming closer to paying what everybody else pays for oil after decades of paying an artificially low price.

Reminds me so much of the climactic and inimitable final scene of the movie There Will Be Blood (spoiler) in which Plainview twists the arm of down-and-out reverend Eli into renouncing his faith, and then tells him that his last patch of land is bereft of oil. "Drainage."
