Thwarting the pipeline is just the tip of the iceberg for Obama. His own Energy Secretary Steven Chu is on record with the Wall Street Journal in September 2008: "Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe."

If Chu has his way, $6 a gallon might be in the near future if Obama and his cronies get into office for four more years. Can Americans afford four more years of Obama's anti-oil agenda?

[Obama is already on record stating that high gas prices will help create a stronger alternative fuel market.

In a sign of one major internal difference, Mr. Chu has called for gradually ramping up gasoline taxes over 15 years to coax consumers into buying more-efficient cars and living in neighborhoods closer to work.

"Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe," Mr. Chu, who directs the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in September.

But Mr. Obama has dismissed the idea of boosting the federal gasoline tax, a move energy experts say could be the single most effective step to promote alternative energies and temper demand. Mr. Obama said Sunday that a heightened gas tax would be a "mistake" because it would put "additional burdens on American families right now."

That a lie:

Addicting Info started as a resource to discredit all the lies and propaganda that the right-wing spreads. When I undertook the project I thought I would probably have about 100 different articles about a number of different myths, and people could sort through them at will. Eventually that expanded to news and other info, and I quickly realized the DAUNTING task of actually trying to discredit EVERY right-wing myth that is in existence, especially with the constant creation of new ones.

Actually it's the people who mr grape worships, bows down to & kisses their feet that manipulate the price of gas.

Conservatives, the most...you know.

This is the market is reacting in direct result to all the restrictions and EPA mandates set in motion by DUMBO.

Fact is those "restrictions and EPA mandates" have actually cut the use of gas in this country & it's EXACTLY the reason we are EXPORTING oil & gas.

Actually it's the people who mr grape worships, bows down to & kisses their feet that manipulate the price of gas.

Senate panel by ExxonMobil Chairman Rex Tillerson, who confessed that the price of oil may have increased by as much as 40 percent thanks to speculation.

So, who are the speculators? Well, in addition to Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan, there are the usual suspects (Big Oil incs) but, as it turns out– there are also hedge fund investors. Fang points out top among these investors is ” . . . Paul Singer, a billionaire investor and a major donor to Karl Rove’s network of attack groups and to Republicans on the Financial Services Committee.”
