Democrats can't really claim that they believe that ending subsidies won't result in the additional expense being passed on to the public can they? Would they really be THAT stupid?
It does seem to be the American way to give tax breaks and such to those who need them the least.
Mr. Obama, in an appearance at Nashua Community College here, took a page out of his jobs strategy of last year, calling on Americans to contact their Congressional representatives and demand a vote on the oil subsidies in the next few weeks.
You can either stand up for the oil companies, or you can stand up for the American people, Mr. Obama said. You can keep subsidizing a fossil fuel thats been getting taxpayer dollars for a century, or you can place your bets on a clean-energy future.

Calling for renewed investment in alternative energy, he vowed to make a serious, sustained commitment to tackle a problem that may not be solved in one year or one term or even one decade.
Mr. Obamas decision to spotlight his proposal to end oil and gas subsidies immediately opened him up to criticism from Republicans, who noted that the proposal was unlikely to help lower the price of gas at the pump. The office of the House speaker, John A. Boehner, sent an e-mail to reporters citing an analysis by the Congressional Research Service last March that found that ending the subsidies could make oil and natural gas more expensive.

Appearing in North Dakota on Thursday, one of Mr. Obamas Republican challengers, Mitt Romney, said the president was out of touch. North Dakota has benefited from the discovery of the Bakken Shale, an oil-rich deposit.
Today the president is going to be in New Hampshire talking about energy in North Dakota, Mr. Romney said. Hes about as far away from North Dakota as he can get and still be in the United States. His idea of course is to be far enough away from the people who know whats really going on right here to maybe try and blow one past folks.

Largely absent from the partisan bickering has been the role tensions over Iran have played in the price rise.

Obama did not help himself with energy of any sort over the last three years. It's hurt him in the eyes of the American people. With the EPA strangling the coal industry with new regulations. Now, he's doing damage control during an election year. This is the most transparent he's been. No surprise to me
straight from taxpayer money?

A tax break for putting profits back into exploration instead of paying cash out to fat cat stockholders.

Keeping their own earnings is not 'taxpayer money.'
