REMEMBER – HIGH GAS PRICES ARE GOOD FOR YOU – AT 9:55 P.M. ET:   It's really shameful that you mere citizens out there don't understand that these high gasoline prices are really good for you.  They make you a better person, a purer person.  Well, you may not understand it, but the president does.  From NRO:

A new report from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform details a disturbing “pattern of evidence” indicating that not only are the Obama administration’s energy policies responsible for higher oil and gas prices, but that the administration’s energy policy, in fact, is higher gas prices.

The report’s findings are the result of an extensive committee review of public records, policy analysis, statements and e-mails from administration officials, and reveal “a pattern of actions [that] shows the Administration is, in fact, pursuing an agenda to raise the price Americans pay for energy,” according to a copy of the report obtained by National Review Online.

“What President Obama failed to accomplish through the so-called ‘cap and trade’ program, his administration is attempting to accomplish through regulatory roadblocks, energy tax increases, and other targeted efforts to prohibit development of domestic energy resources,” the report concludes.

COMMENT:  This is absolutely scandalous.  The arrogance of it all!  A group of self-appointed philosophers believe they know what's best for your family, and will demand that you pay for it.  In the midst of the worst economic decline since the Great Depression, the administration is pursuing policies that raise prices dramatically on something we must have to live – energy.  Read the article for the full indictment.
