Bachmann promises $2 gas

"Under President Bachmann you will see gasoline come down below $2 a gallon again," Bachmann told a crowd Tuesday in South Carolina. "That will happen." 
Oh, boy...here we go again...another politician making promises.
As much as like Michelle Bachmann and I think that she would make an OK president (she can't possibly be any worse than BHO) the promise of $2 gas is just silly. Unless she can do something about commodity speculations and start drilling for oil in the US, there is no way in hell she will be able to bring the gasoline prices below $3 a gallon. As long as we are dependent on foreign oil and tolerate the free-for-all speculation, prices of gas will only keep climbing.
