You would have to provide empirical evidence that his policies has an effect on the price of oil and/or gasoline in order to perform an empirical analysis. Please explain to me the empirical analysis and the evidence used. I'm curious what statistical test was performed as well as the confidence level of the results.
Your position on this is subjective. Don't try to claim some objective, analytical approach to it. This conversation right here is one of the biggest problems in politics, today. People think and try to claim that they are coming to some position based on an objective analysis, but they are just telling themselves that when it is nothing but their opinion. It's emotionally based. People see something correlative and make causative statements about it. If people would just be willing to admit what they don't know, we'd be a lot better off.
