Gas Hits Nearly $4 a Gallon Before Obama Decides to Address It

Obama has been quiet about the rising cost of oil. When it started to rise, he didn't say much. When it continued, he remained silent. Now that gas is hitting $4 a gallon, Obama is finally speaking up. We all knew it was going to hit $4 a gallon, this isn't a surprise. So why has Obama waited until $4 a gallon until he has decided to address the issue? Could it be because Obama wants $4 a gallon gas and then some? Of course.

The Wall Street Journal announces that Obama will finally address the high oil costs. Why now? Why did he wait for so long?

President Barack Obama, under pressure to respond to rising gas prices, will outline Wednesday a series of initiatives to cut the nation's reliance on foreign oil, including new initiatives to expand oil production, increase the use of natural gas to power vehicles and increase production of ethanol.

So what do you think this entails? High speed rails, higher cafe standards, more public transportation? Of course. How serious do you think Obama is to pursue American oil? Remember, he was down in South America last week investing your tax dollars into foreign jobs in Brazil. Will he meet his Brazil commitment in the United States? I doubt it. His solution to reduce foreign dependence will be smaller cars and more government transportation.

I believe this is more for show than resolving the high cost of oil. Remember, liberal Democrats called for high oil costs in order to keep more cars parked.
