David Axelrod wants Obama to get credit for gas prices

When prices were at or above $4/gallon, it was the fault of eeeeevil speculators. But now that gas prices have plummeted to... er, $3.73/gallon, senior Obama advisor David Axelrod wants credit to go to the president:

Gas prices have been going down for the past six weeks. You think the GOP will blame the President?cnnmon.ie/J1T1BA

Just a reminder... on the day Obama took office, gas prices sat at $1.85/gallon.
