Exactly, Obama can do very little to control inflation, especially when there's international factors affecting gas prices.
Sorry, but you are confusing cause and effect.
Rising prices are a result of inflation.
Inflation is the relationship between the money supply and goods and services available.
Take a look at the federal budgets (and deficits) under Obama.
The Federal Reserve has been dumping money into the economy to cover the deficit.
a) Thank you, being a total imbecile I had no idea what inflation was... however, inflation isn't some ogre running around putting prices up... it's both a chicken and egg proposal. Per example... in Australia we had long-running drought which led to increases in the wholesale prices of lamb, wheat, milk etc etc - those factors increased the headline inflation rate. Inflation doesn't cause the price to rise on it's own, the external and internal factors caused fluctuations to the inflation rate - so inflation is a REFLECTION of price increases caused by other factors.
b) the federal reserve has nothing to do with Obama, since it's an independent regulatory authority.
