GOP Address: We Need an ‘All-Of-the-Above' Energy Plan

Fox News -- “Hi, I’m Congressman Doc Hastings from the state of Washington. I chair the House Natural Resources Committee, which handles several issues relating to job creation, including American energy production.

“As you’ve painfully noticed, gas prices are rising quickly, already topping four dollars a gallon in some areas. On average, prices at the pump are more than double what they were when President Obama took office.

“Americans are right to worry that no relief is in sight. The president, who campaigned on a promise to address rising gas prices, now talks as if they’re largely beyond his control. This week, when the president’s Energy Secretary was asked whether the administration’s goal is to lower gas prices, the secretary’s answer was ‘no.’ Incredibly, one Democrat leader in

Gas stopped rising and stabilized until about a month ago.
VomVom Champion Author Calgary Posts:3,857 Points:1,627,080 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Mar 4, 2012 2:59:50 PM Ignore VomVom Report Abuse The bottomline is, President Obama has been in office for over 3 years and he had control of both the senate and the house for the first 2 years. What has he done with regards to a long term energy policy? What has he done to prevent gas prices from going through the roof? He didn't even regulate the speculators.

He's right on wanting an "All-of-the-above" energy plan.

eomc17 Champion Author Tucson Posts:1,822 Points:134,145 Joined:Mar 2007	Message Posted: Mar 4, 2012 12:27:59 PM Ignore eomc17 Report Abuse Obama has no interest in lowering the price of oil and gas, or keeping the dollar from sinking on foreign exchange markets. Our cost of living will keep going up if we vote for this idiot again this November. He has been lying and telling us a lot of half-truths for the past four years and his insane alternative energy plan will make EVERYTHING more expensive. I don't understand how he thinks his "plans" are supposed to make the lives for the voters better in any way shape or form except for those who make a lot of money. I certainly will never be able to afford a 41000 dollar Chevy Volt or any new car, no matter how much it may cost. Guess I will get a bicycle and resume eating frozen burritos and TV dinners. I am not voting for Obama again, no matter how bad the GOP candidate is... and I have never voted for a republican president before.

Funny, but McCain-Palin, Michael Steele, and a bunch of GOP'ers were spouting the "All-Of-The Above" line everytime a camera pointed in their direction in back in 2008.

Without a doubt, this definition excludes virtually all of the incumbent politicians (Democrat and some Republicans). Get back to spending to what comes in to the government coffers or possibly even a tad less.

About Secretary Chu's comment about an administration goal to lower gas prices... gasoline does operate in the free market, right? You wouldn't want some socialist communist marxist fascist placing price controls on the market or government seizing private control of the marketplace, would you?
