Exactly my point brotha! It's unnerving. Every time I see an add talking about gas prices going down, I wanna punch someone lol. Like....really?
It's all political strategy. The reality is that that he can do nothing to control gas prices. It is a global commodity, driven completely off supply & demand. However, the average citizen isn't really aware of this or doesn't believe it is true. So, he claims credit for prices going down even though it wasn't his doing. People will believe him, of course, just like other people who believe it was his fault for going up.
