Well, seems this administration is getting exactly what they wanted. Higher energy prices under his liberal, anti-business agenda.
See, he seems to think if gas prices are high, people would be more inclined to buy an electric car (hopefully one HE owns - The Volt), or take public transpo, or rally for HSR, or just stop driving and conserving altogether (except he NEEDS consumers to be out there driving and spending).
So this is what his big ideas have wrought, this is what his liberal agenda has produced.
Instead of pushing for domestic sources of oil&gas, obama has crippled the industry with his illegal moratorium, at the same time he funds BILLIONS in drilling projects.....in other countries.
They want to push cars the vast majority of Americans DON'T WANT. They want to push HSR that is cost inefficient and people DON'T USE.

Oil prices are set on the open market. What's the matter? The right NOW going to whine for MORE government interference or just another sham excuse to blame Obama for something he has no causal relationship with?

higher energy prices are no one's goal. this is an obvious side effect of printing money. global investors run like hell from paper currencies, not just the dollar, and energy / gold / metals spike in price.
with gasoline in particular -- a more market-oriented way of thinking is that higher gas prices aren't entirely a bad thing. the higher they get, the more incentive we have to find alternatives.
But the three stooges (Obama, Bernanke, Geithner) are helping to set up the dollar devaluation to make sure speculators rush into oil. Think food is high now? Just wait until oil speculation regulation comes online. The traders will move to another market and that will be food. The poor will suffer the most.

HIS POLICIES are exacerbating high gas prices.
But this is what he wants. Remember his comment that higher gas prices are the ideal, as long as they rise slowly so people have a chance to adapt?
quantitative easing, stimulus, and money printing are the critical factors in devaluing the dollar, and causing higher oil and gas prices. When it comes to the economy and the dollar, Obama is just continuing the George W. Bush goals and policies.
people need to understand that this has been a bipartisan effort.
