My biggest hardship is the fact that I'm now having to fill up 2 times per week at about 55 to 60 dollars each time. I drive about 35 to 40 miles roundtrip 3 to 4 times per week to go and take care of my mother. There was a time 25 to 30 dollars per week would take me, even on over into the next week; I'd again put that amount back into my tank. Nowadays, the gasoline seems to be so diluted with ethanol and no telling what other agents, and it burns so fast, it's like its evaporating right out of the tank!

At least give us some REAL GASOLINE you greedy speculators and CEOS! You know you've made enough money off of us American taxpayers at the pump and you still have the gall to lobby to the greedy Republicans and a few scary Democrats that you want to keep your government welfare going, through tax breaks and subsidies! You don't care one bit about the poor/middleclass! YOU'RE CRUEL! It's going to be easier for camel to get through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of HEAVEN!

The Barry administration has failed America. They have given large tax breaks (zero tax) to the big oil industry. What do we get high gas prices, watered down gas and an uncertain future. Hope and change is all we got from this president. Such a disappointment.

Some presidential movements are OTR, or off-the-record, to the public and press until the president's motorcade arrives at the previously undisclosed location.
