That fall of 2012, gas ran $3.64 a gallon and Obama was in the White House — running in a tight reelection campaign against Republican Mitt Romney, who was staking his hopes on winning Ohio. On TV, "Breaking Bad" was earning Emmy gold as one of the most acclaimed dramas on air, while readers across the country were picking up "Fifty Shades of Grey" by E.L. James, which had become a cultural phenomenon at the top of the fiction bestseller lists. The San Francisco Giants swept the Detroit Tigers to claim the World Series title, and just weeks earlier, Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner had made history by jumping from 128,000 feet above New Mexico and becoming the first person to break the sound barrier in freefall without any aircraft or engine.
