*  They blamed high prices on him, for no good reason, but no way will they give him credit for the opposite, good reason or no.
*  I think she truly believes that she has been President for the last two years and the gas prices are all her doing.
*  I live in Michele's hometown. We have been dealing with her and her fantasies since she first ran as a fundamentalist homeschooler to take over the school board and ban the teaching of evolution in public schools. Not an easy sell in Minnesota. She lost, and her mind has been lost ever since.

Michele Bachmann Celebrates Low Gas Prices In Obama’s America
By Igor Voldsky, January 2, 2015

In August of 2011, as Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) campaigned for the GOP’s presidential nomination, she vociferously blamed President Barack Obama for high gas prices, pledging to get the cost under $2 a gallon if she’s elected into the White House.

“The day that the president became president gasoline was $1.79 a gallon. Look at what it is today,” she said at an event in Greenville, South Carolina. “Under President Bachmann, you will see gasoline come down below $2 a gallon again. That will happen.”

It appears that Bachmann achieved that goal without ever becoming president, as she proudly pointed out on Twitter Friday morning:

Bachmann wasn’t the only Republican to attribute high gas prices to Obama. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Bachmann’s challenger for the 2012 nomination, predicted that if Obama was reelected he would push gas to “$10 a gallon.” He promised $2.50 gas if he was elected. In March 2012, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) predicted that if Obama was reelected gas would cost $5.45 per gallon by the start 2015.

But today, the nationwide average for a gallon of gas is $2.24 and can be purchased for under $2 in at least 33 states. Experts have attributed the plunge to a host factors generally outside of any president’s control, including weak international demand, fuel efficient cars, advances in gas technology, greater domestic production, a growing reliance on public transportation and OPEC’s failure to reduce supply.
