Whether Obama would attempt such a strategy is unknown. Obama has never said he wanted gas prices to be lower, even dismissing eliminating the gas tax during times of high priced gas. Obama most likely will increase gas prices, but not to the extent Chu advises. be looking for the $5.00 gallon gas this summer, the change occurring in May.

In June-July 2008, under President Bush, gas prices reached a high of $4.11 a gallon. By the time Barack Obama was elected in November, the prices had already begun to decline, such that a gallon of gas was $1.84 not long after Mr. Obama's inauguration. But this did not last. The cost of gas soon went up, and remained high for a while. However, as often happens, prices then began to decrease: depending on world supply and demand, they continued to fluctuate throughout the next several years. The same situation occurred under both Presidents Bush and Clinton, with prices trending drastically up, then coming down gradually.

The same thing that occurs under nearly all modern presidents: prices will continue to fluctuate. Sometimes, they will rise, and at other times, they will decline. There are many factors in what influences gas prices, and who is in the White House is not the main determinant.
If he has any culpability, it is in doing niothing to check unfettered, runaway corporate greed represented by the oil companies that continue to post record profits. But, he's under no compulsion, personal or legislative to do anything.
