Democrats won't even try, so for that I say a profound thanks. I've seen $10 oil per china, and $100 oil.

The US has enough oil to satisfy our thirst for a century, create millions of jobs, and pay down the national debt via royalties. I'm all for clean, alternative energy, but the first step is energy independence.

But some rightwingers claim that gas prices were forced to rise because Obama won't allow enough drilling. Are they wrong?

the average citizen either blames or gives credit for things that the president has no control over, but to avoid your question, no

 

[The Dude]

He does have significant control on supply. Actually the world price would also come down if we increased our supply more.

part of the problem with that is that this is a lead time of about 5 years to get a new site on line - so what ever obama does, it will not kick in for about 5 years
