It should be noted that the price of gas has been fluctuating for the past decade. While it is understandable to want to blame the president, it is not always his fault alone. For example, under President Bush, it was reported that "...the price of gasoline increased from $1.60 per gallon when he took office in January 2001 to $4.40 per gallon in July 2008, a jump of 275 percent." Throughout the summer of 2008, according to CBS News, the price of gasoline remained high, averaging over $4.00 a gallon; many people believed it was President Bush's fault. But then, in September, the price of gasoline began to drop, and by November 2008, when the election was held and President Obama was elected, a gallon of gas was at about $2.20. However, prices soon began to edge back up again.
