Ignoring that high prices have been directly affected by his own policies, the drilling moratorium in the Gulf and off the coasts, the blocking of the Keystone XL pipeline, blocking all new drilling permits on federal land, EPA regulations which are devastating the coal industry, King Barry is now putting up roadblocks to those who invest in the oil markets.
Common sense says that this will hamper investment and create even less production, resulting in higher prices at the pump, furthering his and Stephen Chu's goal of European-like gas prices at $10 a gallon. At this, Obama will demonize the Big Oil even more, calling for greater oversight of the industry, with his ultimate goal being a Hugo Chavez-like takeover of the oil industry.
For Obama, if it looks like Hugo Chavez, smells like Hugo Chavez, and governs like Hugo Chavez, it must be a Marxist.
