Gas prices rise - Obama verses the Republican Party

If you have gotten gas this week, you obviously notice an increase in gas prices. The price is getting scary because it seems to be rising everyday. Why is this happening?

During President Obama's radio address today, he implied that the gas problem is going to take a long time to fix. He wants to explore solar, wind, oil, gas, nuclear and other alternatives. He suggested that the Republican plan to drill more oil will not help in the long run.

In the Republican radio address, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Tex., reminds us that gas was only $3.17 a year ago.

She said the problem is that President Obama is slowing everything down by his permits and regulations that our gas prices are rising. The administration also opposes the Keystone oil pipeline XL from Canada to Texas. By opposing this, thousands of jobs won't be created and gas prices will continue to rise.
