Gas Prices: Bush vs. Obama:

Outstanding chart from the Heritage Foundation displaying how gas prices have reacted after the first 26 months of both the Bush and Obama Administrations.  And the chart would be more telling if it went out another monthr as gas is currently averaging OVER $3.50 nationally.  Gas was selling for about $1.70 a gallon when Obama took office!  HOPE AND CHANGE FOLKS!
As Americans continue to feel the effects of President Obama’s anti-oil agenda at the pump, defensive liberals are circling back to a familiar line of counter-attack: blame Bush.  The media vacuum on gas prices has made this line of attack all the more promising with very little national coverage being given to the president’s destructive domestic drilling agenda. Unfortunately it misses an obvious point.
President George W. Bush was mostly attacked for wanting to drill too much (or being “cozy” with the oil industry), while President Obama’s policies are rooted in unilaterally shutting down the domestic oil industry amidst rising prices and a struggling economy.
