the recent rapid decline in gas prices! We appreciate all you did to make that happen!"
The above encomium is what we should expect from those who, earlier in this year, were condemning the President for the rising cost of motor fuel. If he was responsible for that situation, then is he not responsible for the converse of it?
Answer: NO! As is recognized by persons of common sense and basic knowledge of international oil markets, heads of non-OPEC states have little or nothing to do with the price of oil. But it is useful to point out the hypocrisy and inconsistency of those carping dingbats who readily blame the current president for high oil prices but are nowhere to be found crediting him for the declines.
