  Well here are some real facts:
  1) Since Obama has been in office, oil drilling and permits to drill for oil is at the highest level in history. (We can not drill our way out of this)
  2) In 2008 the average cost per gallon for gas was $4.05 (AAA rating)

  It has nothing to do with the president and everything to do with speculation on oil that are the cause of our gas prices. We are exporting as much oil as we are producing in this country. If you want to get prices down then invest in a full cuntry overhaul and lets move to green energy.
  If you really want to help to stimulate the country they why not send every American 1.5 million dollars and require bills to be paid and a new car to be bought. This will come at a cost of 1.2 billion dollars and we would not have a housing/banking issue.
  It seams rather simple to me and yes you would have a persentage of people on either end handle their money badly but I do not think they can do any worse the Congress or the senate are doing. In the end you could say you left it up to the American people and kept government out.

  Think about it
