18 months of running against Obama!!!

ran 3.0 miles

Barack Obama’s Secretary of Energy, Stephen Chu, put his foot in his mouth today claiming to a House committee that the Obama administration has no interest in lowering gas prices.

Our president, making the best of a good crisis, seems to look at $5.00/gallon gas as a plus, $8.00 and $9.00/gallon gas even better, which he believes creates incentive to utilize alternative energies, an obvious agenda of his. When asked about the inflation of gas prices recently our president responded by recommending that we incorporate pond scum, or algae, into the American energy plan.

The denial of the Keystone pipeline was a monumental mistake that forfeited tens of thousands of jobs, tax revenues, and a broad step further toward energy independence.

Our president has no interest in lowering gas prices. For him, the higher the cost the better to push his agenda. Yet, the importance he gave to the payroll tax cut extension, which gives an average of forty extra dollars to American households per month, was treated with severity.

How much money would you save per month if gas was $2.50/gallon again? I can tell you I would save about…$53.00/month, and my trip to work each day is less than ten miles. If you’re a commuter than this payroll tax extension is even further insignificant to the larger priority of lower gas prices.

Hurry up, November!

396.9 miles to go.

Here is what happened one year ago on Day184.
