Not reported in The Swamp--the largest DROP in oil prices ever recorded:
"The average price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States recorded its largest drop ever as consumer demand continued to wane and oil prices slid, a prominent industry analyst said on Sunday.....
"Plummeting oil prices and caving gasoline demand have combined to bring the biggest retail gasoline price cut in the history of the market," Trilby Lundberg, who compiles the survey, said in an interview. "We've been doing this 58 years. This is truly the biggest price drop." See the Reuters interview at http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSTRE49B38D20081012?feedType=RSS&feedName=domesticNews&rpc=22&sp=true
for more.
This last summer Swamp writers wrote many articles about RISES in gas prices. So why isn't a 35 cent DECLINE just as much "news?"
We all know the answer. This news doesn't help Obama. It exposes the lie that there was some sort of "conspiracy" to push gas prices higher. So Obama's Swamp buddies censor this good news.
