In a June 10th CNBC interview Obama claims that the issue with high gas prices is NOT the price but how quickly the prices rose.
Ed Morrisey over at Hot Air asks the questions…
Obama wants higher gas prices? Do the rest of the Democrats feel the same way?
He goes on to answer…
It certainly would explain why they continue to block domestic energy production in oil. It would also explain the bloated Lieberman-Warner bill, which would have imposed a heavy regulatory bureaucracy on the energy industry, along with rationing that would have both driven up prices and held down supply.
Sure seems that way.
