Gasoline prices are annoying and to some businesses a real problem,
but compared to other Obama economic problems, they really are just
one factor in the hyperinflation that is coming. But the polls have
tilted even further away from Obama and it seems to be gasoline prices
that are causing it. The weird part is, Obama wants $5.00/gallon gas
because he wants everyone on public transport.

Are you sure he doesn't want more $$$ from fuel tax? I'm assuming part
of the price of gasoline is tax. It is about 65% here in the UK. I
like the idea used in some countries where the tax is used to
discourage dependency on the car.

That has some truth to it, although I'd say it's more accurate to say that
Obama (and the public transportation cohort) want to develop low-petroleum
transportation because $5.00 and even $10.00/gallon gas is inevitable, and
they want to be prepared.
There are also concerns about air pollution that I, for one, find
perfectly justified. Whether you believe manmade global warming or not,
I've been to smog-choked cities and it's *awful*. It's no way to live. It
makes everybody's life miserable and causes a lot of premature illness and
death. I'll give up a lot of convenience to breath clean air.

So do I, but I'm not going to discuss it here just because it was mentioned on ABC News.
Shall we discuss student loan interest rates now? Botox?

It is not the current practice here in the colonies.
Some (ahem) think it should be.
However, Big O is basically a carbono-phobe, he and his goofball energy secretary A.Chu want high oil, gas, hydro/carbon prices to justify investments in solar, wind, curly light bulbs, riding donkeys, and hand-cranked iPhones.
He does not seem to realize that increasing base energy prices by all these means is a tremendous burden on the economy. But he's also in thrall to certain green climate warming hysterics who say we just have to do it, period, end of story, don't confuse me with the facts.

TV news is TV, and if you weren't glued to reality shows, you'd know that.

TV news programming is TV. The content of TV news is everything else. So let's rename the newsgroup alt.everything.in.the.world.

Now why exactly would WE do that. I'd prefer to call it alt.aggravate.billsteele. That works for me. :-)
