Why would Obama seek to raise the cost of Gasoline?

The only thing Barry "seeks' to do is to do as he's told.He really has no choice in the matter.
1/2 mil a year for life(with security), who knows what for "speaking" and a guarantee his family won't get Kennedy'd. Pretty good deal I suppose.Slick Willy and Dubya like it.

A couple of things are clear. The Republicans will attempt to blame Obama for the rising cost of gas, and, Obama has no benefit in raising the cost of gas.

Applying the law of succinctness, if Obama could control the cost of gas he would reduce it in an election year.

Discuss.

What Obama has done since taking office is agressively promote an anti-fossil fuel - pro-green energy agenda that sought to drive up the cost of gas and electricity produced by fossil fuels to the point where green energy alternatives were economically viable.

What he is doing in the last eight months before an election is POSTURING that he isn't in favor of higher gas and electricity costs. If he didn't have the main stream media in his back pocket he would get blown out of the water with such a transparent manuever (did anyone REALLY buy Stephen Chu's sudden change of heart about what the price of gas should be when he spoke to the Senate last week? Come on...) but he thinks he can get away with it because he's gotten away with it in the past.

Just remember one thing, Kiddies...if you vote for Barry next November...you are voting for higher gas and electricity prices. Obama and Chu haven't had a sudden "conversion" on fossil fuels...they are what they've always been...ideologues who would LOVE to see $6 a gallon gas to punish us gas guzzling Americans. Funny how Barry has no problem jetting around the country on Air Force One fundraising...but you shouldn't be able to drive over to Mom's house on Sunday for dinner because that's wasteful.

Bingo and spot on.

The only reason gas prices are even on Barry's radar is because he's running for that second term.

If anyone honestly thinks Barry's gives a rats ass what working Americans pay for gas then those folks are living in lala land.

The only think he and his posse care about is shoving HIS green agenda down our throats.
