"I would love to see some local politicians do something useful about this, like synchronize traffic signals better, or get slow drivers in fast lanes off the road. Instead, they rail about "gouging" or "conspiracies" or "incompetence," but fail to look in the mirror."
Or, instead of looking to government for the solution, simply take personal responsibility, by driving less, and bike riding more - which would lower gas prices overnight.
How, exactly, is getting slow drivers out of the fast lane, and enabling people to drive faster, going to lower gas prices?

No doubt there were a lot of Repubs who have experienced hemorrhoid growth over the last 3 years...must be frustrating, since they probably experienced a 3.5% retraction in their 'rrhoids under Shrub.

Ron, again you quote a piece that does nothing to back one of your preposterous claims.
I see Obama state, in the piece you reference, that it's going to take time to fix our country's problems. Does this mean to you that he's been "practicing?"
If so, it's beginning to make sense to me how you've become so disillusioned, and I'm getting a little more proof of the correlation between hatters and taxidermists.

Ron is right. I'm simply suggesting a proper function of government, namely maintaining public goods (in the economic sense).
Getting slower drivers out of the fast lanes will allow a smoother flow of traffic, with fewer stops and starts on urban surface streets, and less acceleration and slowing on controlled-access highways, leading to higher realized gas mileage.
Many years of observing traffic congestion shows that certain drivers can best be compared to moving pylons. Their incompetence and obstructionism (to use a phrase popular with certain partisans on this thread) causes traffic to flow through narrow openings around them, rather like boulders in a stream. This reduces traffic flow, causing less efficient use of fuel. It also greatly increases accidents, because speed dispersion, rather than the absolute speed of traffic, is much more strongly correlated with accident rates. The more homogeneous the speed of traffic, the safer.

Kman, really tell me your not that stupid. Obama IS asking for a second term so that his "plans" can come to "fruition"...JUST LIKE MOST ALL THE REST OF THEM. So in other words we have four years of them working and four years campaigning. Sorry that youve missed this but it IS fact.
Now as per your comments of haters and taxidermists,,, YOU make an ASSUMPTION that relates ALL to one---racism comes in all forms. And I see you correlating ONE to all,, you go boy.

Oops, sorry Ron. Honestly, it was a typo.
I meant to say "hatters" and taxidermists.
Please accept my sincere apology.

Ron, stop while you're ahead.
The piece you reference does not have the word "fruition" in it, as your quote implies it does.
Obama is saying that it will take time to heal the economy. That is a fact, and that's the point Obama is trying to make.
Take a break, the fumes are getting to you.
