I'd like to add that the POTUS has almost ZERO control over gas prices. The Fed doesn't even have meaningful control of it. Nobody does, it's almost completely driven by external economic factors.

Which is exactly why our leaders constantly say we need to break our dependence on foreign oil. They have no control over the prices; if Africa suddenly became a developing economy with need for oil like China and India, our prices would skyrocket and there'd be nothing we could do about it.
