President Obama may have inherited a tough economic situation, but again and again, he's made it worse. Obama's record so far includes an unemployment rate that has exceeded 8 percent for 37 straight months, a $15.5 trillion debt (a 46 percent increase in just three years), and gas prices that have more than doubled since he took office. If the president were serious about improving our economy and alleviating the burden on the American people, he would work with Republicans to cut spending, encourage private-sector job creation, and put in place a real all-of-the-above energy policy that would lower gas prices by developing domestic energy resources.

The President's Unserious Energy Policies
Mar 06 2012
Despite the fact that gas prices have doubled since he took office, President Obama continues to demonstrate his fundamental lack of seriousness about the issue. Among other things, he has suggested exacerbating already high prices by taxing oil and gas producers, rejected the Keystone XL pipeline and its reliable supply of oil, and proposed tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, a solution he tried last summer which lowered gas prices by a few cents for just two weeks before prices rose again. The president needs to pursue the kind of real "all-of-the-above" energy strategy supported by Republicans, which would lower gas prices and improve our energy security by developing all of America's energy sources.
Obama's "None-of-the-Above" Energy Policy
Mar 06 2012
President Obama likes to talk about how he supports an "all-of-the-above" energy policy, but in practice, his energy policy is more "none of the above" than "all of the above." From the Keystone XL pipeline to permits for new energy exploration and development, President Obama has repeatedly rejected opportunities to develop American energy sources. Senate Republicans are committed to a real "all-of-the-above" energy policy that would lower gas prices and strengthen our security by developing every available source of American energy.
