Why higher gas prices you ask?  Because the UAW and SEIU gave Barack Obama millions of dollars.  Let me explain.  According to usatoday.com, execs at GM are looking to push gas prices back up to the 4 or 5 dollar area:

“The carmakers acknowledge that raising the gas tax is an unpopular idea, but they also saw how fast consumer preference shifted toward small cars when gasoline prices topped $4 a gallon last summer. Without that economic incentive, the tide is turning back to bigger cars, crossovers and trucks.

And that could be a problem for automakers such as General Motors, (GM) which are investing millions to get fuel-saving technology on the road. At the North American International Auto Show Monday, GM CEO Rick Wagoner said taxing gas or providing rebates on fuel-efficient cars “is going to be the most effective way to move the needle fast.”

GM, Ford, and Chrysler “retooled” to start making smaller cars, and now no one wants them!  Solution: Make the Americans pay on the front end to keep the companies going, and have them pay on the back end in the form of massive gas taxes.  Why do I suggest that Obama might do something so stupid?  Because the UAW supported him with labor and money.  Not only that, but the UAW gave more then a million dollars to congressmen who voted for the bailout, while giving only around 1/10th that amount of money to those who opposed it.   Money buys influence…next stop, your pocketbook!
