Walter Williams: Energy manipulation

Another week, another record-high for gas prices as Obama continues to put the screws to working Americans.

The national average for a gallon of regular unleaded is $3.93, that's an 11-cent jump from last week.

Heckavu job Barack.

On a day when Barack Obama stood in front of a bunch of pipes to say he's doing "all of the above" to bring down gas prices, the price of regular unleaded in Berks County hit $3.85. Heckavu job, Barack. His energy polices are more like "none of the above."

The national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gas stands at $3.77 today. Economist Ralph R. Reiland wrote recently that rising gas prices under Obama are costing each American family $2,200 per year. I can't afford any more of Obama's hope and change.

Like the Price of Gas? Just Wait!

Economist Ralph R. Reiland disects Obama's failed energy policies that have driven up the cost of gas by 90% since Obama took office, costing American families thousands of dollars.

From his latest column:

The U.S. Energy Information Administration says the average U.S. household purchases 1,100 gallons of gasoline per year. That means the $2 per gallon increase since Obama took office is costing the average family an extra $2,200 a year.

Gas was $1.85 when Barack Obama took office. Today, it's nearly $4 per gallon. Three years of failed energy policies and Obama's war on the working class will do that.

When gas prices hit $4 a gallon in 2008, Barack Obama blamed George W. Bush's "failed energy policies." So who do we blame now that gas if back to $4? Anybody but Obama, of course.

A gallon of gas was $1.85 when Obama took office. Now it's pushing $4. It's going to be hard to blame this one on George W. Bush.

Rising gas prices give GOP weapon against Obama

In case you have a bad memory, the price of a gallon of gas has risen 90% since Barack Obama took office.

The price of regular unleaded gas was $1.85 when Barack Obama took office. The price of regular unleaded hit $3.65 today in SE Pennsylvania. That's a 90% increase. Credit Obama's failed economic and energy polices for the dramatic increase in gas prices, which is a devastating tax on the middle class. And where's the outcry from the mainstream media about skyrocketing gas prices?

Wondering why gas prices are so high?
