A Real Solution for High Gas Prices

Senator Obama discusses the high price of gasoline and offers steps designed to lessen our dependence on foreign oil and bring down prices for good.

"By now, the only thing as predictable as rising gas prices are the short-term political solutions that come along with them. It seems like every year, as soon as headlines start announcing "Pain at the Pump" and Americans start emptying their wallets to fill up their tanks, politicians revert to their Rolodex of responses, from tax rebates and tax holidays to investigations into price gouging by oil companies."

@republicansrule ... $2 a gallon? LOL, the average price of regular unleaded in July of 2008 was $5.26. You're not even close!

@KingMKLA seeing as it has only reached 1.7 trillion.

@onstageagain You are seriously putting all the blame of the Economy on Obama? It was already in the crapper when he took office. I have heard people blame him for TARP but Hello that was signed By BUSH in NOVEMBER 2008. Almost none of the TARP money has been paid back. When Clinton (A Liberal) left office he had a plan laid that would have the country out of debt by 2006. When Bush left office he left a deficit forseen to be 8 trillion dollars by 2010-2012, I think Obama has done a fair job

@republicansrule I don't remember it being 2 dollars a gallon. Also Bush was the Idiot that signed the TARP bill, and took us into a war without an exit strategy, and fucked up the budget. When Clinton left office he had a budget plan that would have had the country completely out of debt by 2006. When Bush left office he left a deficit that was forseen to hit almost 8 Trillion by the year 2012...

In 2008, current U.S. "Energy" Secretary (then just a zany professor) Steven Chu clarified that "somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe."

Who says this administration can't get things done?

$1.83 a gal when Barry took office, now nearing $5 a gal. Lib media was killing bush when it when over $3 a gal. Now libs r saying things like, "this is a good thing, people will spend more time with their families". The hypocracy is mind numbing. Barry and lib media blaming Big Oil. Obama's lib policies 2 blame also. Shell got turned down yesterday for a drill site in Alaska. The appeals panel,,3 lib Dems. The reason,, a tiny village 70 MILES from the

Shell site. OBAMAGEDDON is coming!!

@republicansrule No 1 will vote 4 Obama, who's has driven R economy in the ditch. No experience N finance or economics. I'm tired of paying $5.00 a gal 4 gas in Ca. This president is a COMPLETE failure ! OMama surrounded himself with a cabinet full of left wing loons who cannot Even SPELL Constitution. There's no energy policy N place, R- national debt is out the roof. He has no vision 4 the future of R country. Chicago needs a Community Organizer. I know a man thats available come 2013!
