You can thank your republicans for that. Democrats will not officially take over until January. So get information correct before making assumptions.
You should thank the people still at the helm, for not working out a deal, or using any diplomacy with OPEC.
Even if it were the Dems that raised taxes, which it wasn't. That is a far cry from $3.29/gallon that I paid at the pump just a few short months ago. While at the same time big oil companies were reporting record profits, claiming it was to protect investors. Those investors (many of whom held high office in the White House), allowed it to happen. Bought off by oil lobbyists. Chocola-Rep.-IN was one of them. We can be thankful he is outa there!

I wish I knew the answer to that question since the balance of power don't change intil Janurary. Another question might be why did the gas prices go down the couple of months before the election with no change for the demand?

Gas prices had already started going up in my area before election day.
Look at how high gas and other fuel costs have gone during the Republican reign. Merchandise and food costs have soared due to transportation costs also.
I used to be able to take pleasure rides in my car. Now I have to plan the shortest routes to run my errands in order to save gas because it costs so much. We don't even get to drive the grandkids around the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights anymore. One, because of gas prices, two, less people are decorating their homes/yards with Christmas lights due to electricity costs.
We can't fault the Democrats for any of this!

Can you imagine the rage of those that brought prices way down for the election only to find it didn't work! Every member of Bush's cabinet is on the board of an oil co. It will go up from now on though as we continually run out of oil while to demand of the world, especially India and China, goes up.

For the same reasons that Republicans tell you gas prices went down just before the elections - supply and demand.....

'Cause it was Bush's plan to manipulate prices to get people to vote Repub. Now he's throwing a fit.
They were going to go back up after the elections anyway
