At Obama inauguration Jan 2009, gas was $1.81 a gallon. Now at $3

Remember when Nancy Pelosi blamed Bush for higher gas prices in 2008? (It would have helped if 1) she knew any math (she doesn't), and 2) if she got gas prices corect (she was off by at least $1 per gallon):
Dim bulbs don't illuminate much, do they? In any case, why isn't Pelosi out complaining that gas prices have almost doubled since Obama took office? On January 26, 2009, the average price for a gallon of gas was $1.81. Now it's about $3 a gallon. From the AP: Gas pump prices close in on average $3 a gallon
The average price of a gallon of gasoline this week continued to march steadily to $3 a gallon. In some parts of the country, it's above that already.

On Friday the average price of a gallon of regular across the U.S. was almost $2.98, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. That's up 2 cents from Monday and 10 cents more than a week ago. Drivers on the West Coast pay an average $3.21 a gallon. Gas is about $3.09 a gallon in New England, $3.05 in the Mid-Atlantic states, $2.98 around the Great Lakes and $2.82 in the Southwest.

...The rising price of oil has pushed up gasoline prices. Crude has climbed about 5 percent in the past 10 days, and on Tuesday it topped $90 for the first time in over two years. On Friday, benchmark oil lost 58 cents to settle at $87.79 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

The retail price of gasoline could go higher, even if oil prices level off. Gasoline supplies have been affected by unexpected refinery shutdowns in the West and Midwest. "There has been a good deal of unscheduled maintenance recently, and that has made ... gasoline markets nervous," energy consultants Cameron Hanover said.
Speaking of Pelosi and fuel, how about this flashback of her claiming natural gas was a substitute for fossil fuel?:
Or this clip of George Stephanopoulos asking Pelosi 10 times why she won't allow an up-or-down vote on drilling:
How does the establishment media with a straight face label Sarah Palin as dumb?

UPDATE: One more 'Pelosi is an idiot on gas' video from the great one:
