Rising Gas Prices Part of Obama's Plan

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is reminding everyone that the current high gas prices were part of the Obama agenda from the get go.

From the AP:

Barbour cited 2008 comments from Steven Chu, now President Barack Obama's energy secretary, that a gradual increase in gasoline taxes could coax consumers into dumping their gas-guzzlers and finding homes closer to where they work. Chu, then a Nobel Prize-winning professor, argued that higher costs per gallon could force investments in alternative fuels and spur cleaner energy sources.

"This administration's policies have been designed to drive up the cost of energy in the name of reducing pollution, in the name of making very expensive alternative fuels more economically competitive," Barbour said during a U.S. Chamber of Commerce breakfast across the street from the White House.

Still enjoying the "change?" After going to gas pump, that is all that's left.
