Of course he doesn't have a problem with $4 gas OR spending other people's money. Remember when he told "Joe the Plumber" he wanted to share the wealth....or, in other words, redistribute the wealth.

It not only affects my personal economy but it hinders the economy of the entire US also. I would think that $4/gallon gas would be a concern whether it was a fast or slow increase.

People never listened to Obama before they voted. He has a democrat congress coming up with a climate bill or whatever they call it this weak (the trick is if the people don't like it change the name, it was cap and trade). Europe has had high gas prices ever since I can remember- why? Socialism and the taxation that goes with it!
