For most Americans, however, gas prices are no laughing matter. And for the president to suggest that a taxpayer's inability to buy a new $40,000+ hybrid vehicle (that still requires gas) is the root problem, rather than his price-increasing oil policies is shameful.
Before Obama became president, his personal choice was a Chrysler 300 V8. The predident's campaign vehicle a GMC Yukon averaging 17 mpg.
