President Obama wanted high gas prices way back in 2008!

Gas on the rise again! Ask yourself, after three years as President; is this STILL George Bush's economy? Obama thinks so. Had he supported the extraction and use of USA's own natural resources three years ago (by means of new oil explorati...on) instead of asking other countries to extract theirs, the USA could have long since been debt free and holding its own! I guess the President believes that as long as we’re not damaging the USA's environment (which is a fallacy in of itself), then that makes us "better" people.

During a June 10th, 2008, interview with CNBC, then-candidate Obama said this: I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment. The fact that this is such a shock to American pocketbooks is not a good thing. But if we take some steps right now to help people make the adjustment, first of all by putting more money into their pockets, but also by encouraging the market to adapt to these new circumstances more quickly, particularly US automakers, then I think ultimately, we can come out of this stronger and have a more efficient energy policy than we do right now.

Aren't you glad that in 2008 Obama took steps to help you people make the adjustment by putting more money into your pockets? Oops, I forget, that was simply more empty rhetoric from the President.
