Obama to blame for gas prices

The shocking prices we now pay for gas and energy should not come as a surprise. Gas at the pump has doubled since Obama took office.

Obama’s plan to force our country to switch to “green energy” means that his policies encourage sharply higher energy prices by, amongst many other moves, blocking the Keystone Pipeline, freezing drilling in the Gulf, having the EPA shut down new drilling, and shutting down Alaska’s Petroleum Reserve.   His Energy Secretary, Henry Chu, has long sought much higher energy prices, and Obama himself said so clearly in 2008 to a San Francisco audience. 

So, if you want prices to continue to go much higher in pursuit of replacing 97 percent of our energy with green energy vote for Obama and Tester. It is your choice.
