Great billboard in Tampa, Florida, Obama bowing to Saudi sheik next to gas prices

10/7/12, Billboard in Tampa, Florida, Rt. 301 and Adamo

Gas price was $1.79 when Obama was inaugurated, January 20, 2009. (Rated true by Politifact.) It's $3.80 on 9/27/12.
 
The average price for a gallon of gas in 2005 was $2.30 and Bush was blamed. Why isn't Obama?:  

4/27/2005, "Bush fails to persuade Saudis to cut oil price," by Michael Gawenda, Sydney Morning Herald Correspondent in Washington "With US petrol prices up almost 25 per cent in six months and with polls showing that Americans blame the Bush Administration for these price increases, Mr Bush said oil was top of the agenda at his meeting with Prince Abdullah."...

Reuters reports gas prices don't matter under Obama and won't matter to voters. To make sure you get their message, Reuters has a big picture of a voter going into a polling place to vote for Obama in 2008:
