| Gas prices are falling because the dollar is rising. Enjoy it now because we are about to start the printing presses back up and sink the dollar back down. | |

I tend to agree. I think its one of those things where, if they were still high, it would be an issue for the president, but coming down to current range people aren't paying much attention to it.
Obama can't say much because prices are still up 10-15 % and Romney could point that out. Romney can't be the one to complain because Obama can retort that they are trending down. | |

The only way gas prices are much of an issue is if they go super high like they were a couple of months ago ticking up over $4 or return back to the $2 range. Gas in the high 2s or low 3s pretty much takes that bullet away from both sides. | |

I think enough realize that so it's just not going to be all that big a deal. | |

People are getting used to it now. | |

The local news is predicting gas to fall an additional 0.75 per gallon this summer.
I hope they are correct. | |
