One reason, and I'm by far no expert in case you didn't notice hah, is b/c they don't have the numbers YET to fight the fillibuster the Repubs use when they try and change policy. Another reason is that little "war" that keeps dragging on over there making things less stable in the region which drives up oil prices and there is also an increase in demand through out the world for oil(China, India). Oh yeah, that and the Dems overall are kind of spinless when push come to shove in my opinion. There are still a couple "good ones" on both sides Dems and Repubs- though not many.

PS- I don't think oil prices will ever really come back down, I may not be old but I wasn't born yesterday
