“The Republicans’ failed energy policy has taken us in the wrong direction, leading to record gas prices that exceed $3 a gallon, record oil prices of more than $78 a barrel, record oil profits that have increased 32 percent, and record dependence on foreign oil...Democrats have a New Direction for America that will achieve energy independence within 10 years, by promoting alternatives that send our energy dollars to our Midwest, not the Middle East.”

- Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Press Release, 2006

 “Drivers are paying a heavy price for the Bush administration’s failure to enact a comprehensive energy strategy.  Years of Bush Administration's policies that have favored big oil over the consumers have resulted in record dependence on foreign oil, leaving American families and businesses to pay even higher prices.  This Congress, under the Democratic leadership, is working to make up for years of inaction, taking America in a new direction that helps bring down the cost of gas and promotes energy independence. Energy independence is essential, essential to reducing the price at the pump.”

- Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA),  2007

 "Oil companies are tipping American families upside down and shaking money out of their pockets and guess who is helping them? The Bush Administration and this GOP Congress. Last week, a gallon of regular gasoline averaged $2.93 nationally, which represents a $0.71 increase over prices at the same time last year, and a whopping $1.66 increase over the $1.26 charged for a gallon of regular gasoline when Bush took office."

- Congressman Ed Markey (D-MA), Press Release, 2006

Newspaper:  DEMOCRATS FAULT BUSH FOR HIGH GAS PRICES

Of course, when Obama is in office....

“Supply is up. Demand is down, you would think the price would come down. Enter the speculators.  Not the healthy speculation that is normal to the marketplace, but a speculation that can add 20 percent to the cost of a barrel of oil. The American people have to know that, because this has happened before.” 

- Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), 1 March 2012

“I’m tired of hearing all their baloney about Obama doubled the price of gasoline.  Big damn lie.”

- Governor Brian Schweitzer, (D-MT), 4 September 2012 

"The Montana governor said the United States has quadrupled its number of drilling rigs, which he said had led to increased domestic production and less of a need for imports."

What Gov Schweitzer does not say is that the overwhelming number of rigs working in the US are doing so on state and private lands WHERE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND ITS PERMITTING PROCESS IS NOT INVOLVED ONE IOTA.

 

Further, it is NO lie that the national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded on 01.20.09 was $1.86.  Today, the average is $3.86.  So, it is an error that Obama has doubled the price of a gallon of petrol.  He has MORE THAN DOUBLED THE PRICE of a gallon of petrol.
