"Only Obama Gets Criticised For Gas Prices!"

 "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.”

- Nancy Pelosi

 "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."

- Rep Ed Markey (D-MA), 12 July 2006

"...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."

- Meredith Vieira  

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

- Sen Chuck Schumer, 1 September 2005

"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…" 

- Senator Barack Obama, 11 July 2008
