I think you're wrong Sam - the voters memory isn't that long.

Fox can put up a chart and compare $1.98 to $4 and it is eye opening. BTW, they also had household income dropping from 54K down to 50K.

You think Obama can put up a chart and compare $4 dollars under Bush and $4 dollars now and get many votes? My point isn't the facts (good gosh it was Fox putting the numbers up) it is the effectiveness when they do compare the two numbers - ouch!
