Time Magazine: Gas Price Under $2.00 A Gallon In 24 States

Alan: Count the number of right wing commentators who say:

1.) Gas prices are collapsing under Obama.

2.) Obamacare is not a train wreck.

3.) Ebola was a non-event, totally unworthy of discussion in the 2014 mid-term elections.

4.) Obama was not born in Kenya --- and as Ted Cruz' presidential bid reveals, it wouldn't matter if he was.

4.) Benghazi was not a Big Deal. (Reagan's leaving Lebanon after 250 Marines were killed in a terrorist attack was a Big Deal.)

5.) ISIS is not a Big Deal.

6.) Global warming is real.

7.) Obama is not a Muslim.

8.) Obama has not strangled U.S. oil production.

Will any correction be forthcoming?

Christmas comes early for many commuters

An oil boom has pushed gas prices at some stations, as of Saturday, down to as little as $2 a gallon.
Price tracking service GasBuddy.com found that pockets of low prices below $2 have also cropped up across the country, while average prices across the U.S. are tracking at $2.43 a gallon.
“As of this morning, there are 24 states with prices under $2 a gallon,” GasBuddy’s senior petroleum analyst told USAToday.
Commuters in Missouri have reaped the biggest windfalls, with gas dropping to $1.96 a gallon in Springfield–and even lower in some outlying towns.
With Saudi Arabia’s announcement in September that it would keep the oil flowing, despite falling prices, analysts predict that gas prices have not bottomed out just yet. American Automobile Association analysts expect prices to fall by another seven cents, just in time for Christmas.
