US GAS PRICES SPIKE; REFINERY PROBLEMS CITED

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_GASOLINE_PRICES?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2012-08-10-15-30-42

NEW YORK -- A surprise surge in gasoline prices is taking some of the fun out of summer.

The national average for a gallon of gas at the pump has climbed to $3.67, a rise of 34 cents since July 1. An increase in crude oil prices and problems with refineries and pipelines in the West Coast and Midwest, including a fire in California, are mostly to blame.

Analysts don't expect gas prices to get as high as they did in April, when 10 states passed $4 a gallon and the U.S. average topped out at $3.94. But this is still unwelcome news in this sluggish economy, since any extra money that goes to fill gas tanks doesn't get spent on movies and dinners out.

The rising prices could also put pressure on President Barack Obama in the heat of his re-election campaign.

Oh my yes.

Too bad for the primitives.

Hey, primitives, if the price of gasoline jumps, you know what else jumps?

The price of everything else.  Cheetos, pot (the 'mules' use gasoline to transport it, do they not?), incense, etc.

So does the price of everything that good and decent people use.

I guess starry eyed DUmmies weren't listening when Obama said energy cost would skyrocket....or they thought, as usual, it wouldn't apply to them.

Seems like just a month or two ago, the primitives wre all pant-hooting about Obama being the reason gas prices dropped.
Wonder why the DUmp isn't commenting about that anymore?

What, they didn't blame Bush for the rise? Are they feeling o.k?
