"Only Obama gets criticised for gas prices."
- Lois, McCain to David Gregory "Do You Care Whether 4 Americans Died?" 18 February 2013
Somebody needs a Whaaabulance and an education!
“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.”

"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."

"...I’m a little peeved when I hear the President say there’s not much
we can do about this, folks. According to the President (Bush), the
American people have got to understand that what happens elsewhere in
the world affects the price of gasoline that you pay here, but where is
his responsibility in all this? Five and a half years and we’re dealing
with these gas prices? It’s ridiculous."

"On energy, Americans were expecting a lot more from the president. He took a tiny baby step when a giant step is required."

"I think that… we have been slow to move in a
better direction when it comes to energy usage. And the president,
frankly, hasn’t had an energy policy. And as a consequence we’ve been
consuming energy as if it’s infinite. We now know that our demand is
badly outstripping supply with China and India growing as rapidly as
they are. I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment. The
fact that this is such a shock to American pocketbooks is not a good
thing. But if we take some steps right now to help people make the
adjustment, first of all by putting more money in their pockets, but
also by encouraging the market to adapt to these new circumstances more
rapidly, particularly U.S. automakers…"
