Gas prices $1 higher than last year, MSM embargos connecting Obama policies to price surge
Imagine that.
The average price for a gallon of unleaded gasoline hit $3.86 on April 25, more than $1-a-gallon higher than a year earlier and less than 25 cents away from the record high price of gasoline set in July 2008.
In fact, per gallon prices are more than $2 higher than when Obama took office Jan. 20, 2009. Yet the president has been nearly exempt from criticism on the issue of rising prices, despite a six-month drilling moratorium and more regulatory hurdles for industry.
The Business & Media Institute found that out of the 280 oil price stories the network evening shows have aired since the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, only 1 percent (3 stories) mentioned Obama’s drilling ban or other anti-oil actions in connection with gasoline prices.
Nope…no liberal media bias!

It makes my blood BOIL and BOIL and BOIL….
Comment by Kevin | April 25, 2011
No drilling in ANWR
No drilling in the Gulf
No oil shale exploration
We plow 40% of our corn crop and burn it for fuel as food prices climb.
History will judge us all as fools.

And just another reason why OBAMAS polls are dropping
Comment by SPURWING PLOVER | April 26, 2011
I am not surprised by anything which this “president” and his cronies do to this nation and its citizens. His purpose is to punish this nation for being successful, for whatever reason.
Folks need to look at his books to see what his mindset is all about. It ain’t pretty for us.
Prepare for what is coming from this administration.
