Buzz Feed has several of Obama’s 2008 campaign ads in which he railed against oil company profits, blamed John McCain and George W. Bush for high gas prices, and promised to bring down the price of gas by investing in alternative energy. So, how has it all worked out for us? As I write this a local reporter is on TV at a gas station where the price of a gallon is $3.99.
Here’s one of the ads, showing Obama in front of a gas pump. It’s a shame the media didn’t find it necessary to report his real intention which was raising the price of gas, which is exactly what’s happened.
Related: Via Doug Ross, IBD documented five of the biggest lies Obama told in his last energy policy speech. Be sure to follow both links, there’s a lot of information at both.
Update: Heritage put out this video showing the truth about Obama and gas prices.

[...] 24, 2012 By Lonely Conservative No comments yetThe cost of gas was a political issue in 2007. Obama even campaigned on it in 2008. Nancy Pelosi blamed George W. Bush for high gas prices at the time. So, what’s changed? If [...]

Yeah and the GOP candidate are running on promising $2.00 gas. Believe them?
Obama has increased domestic oil production by 350%. Our number one export no is….oil. It’s up 8% under Obama and up from negative numbers under Bush.
Psst…you won’t hear this on Fox News.

Your repeating yourself. Hmmm, sounds like a broken record to me. Another thing, odumb-dumb is NOT a oil company tycoon. He owns nothing. So HE cannot increase production by 350%. What he can do is help set up a climate of insentives to the oil companies to sell domestic. If HIS energy policies make it unprofitable to sell domestically, then the oil companies will sell to someone else. Although your dear leader is trying as hard as he can, this is still a free enterprise market where the owners of the companies buy and sell as they see fit according to what the market will sustain.

I went looking for some FACTS. The 350% increase that is happening now was due to Pres. BUSH’s energy plans which are just now coming to fruition during his administration. odumb-dumb has DECREASED oil drilling on and off shore by over 17% since he became general secretary. Only State and private lands (out of odumb-dumbs control in the federal land management program) have increased since Jan 20 2009. So I thank you for bringing out another Conservative accomplishment that all Americans can be proud of. I didn’t hear that on mega socialist never belittle communism, or msnbc for short.

[...] Let’s be honest for a minute, Obama is not fully responsible for the rising price of gas and energy: there are other factors at play, many of which are decades in the making, such as turning food into marginally useful fuel. That said, Bush had 100% of the blame placed solely on him by Democrats, including ones like Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and Obama. Obama even had a campaign commercial about high gas prices which Blamed Bush, via the Lonely Conservative. [...]
