That’s when his actions start to effect daily supply. If ANWR had been opened up in 2003, we would be awash. Same principle if the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository had been opened on schedule. Amazing that folks don’t realize that a conscious policy to not fix a problem (i.e. drill for oil, find a repository for nuclear waste, etc.) leads to that problem not being fixed.

And then there’s the issue of the Keystone XL pipeline, which would deliver 830,000 barrels of oil per day from Alberta, Canada, to Gulf Coast refineries. When given the chance to approve the project, President Obama flat out said “no.” Sorry Tom, but today's gas prices obviously ARE an extension of Obama's energy policy.

The President doesn't control gas prices, nor do Arabs, investors do. Gas prices going up in an election year hurts Obama, so this is obviously not an extension of his energy policy. It is also ironic to see baby boomers receiving Social Security complaining about women paying for other women's contraceptives. On the plus side, condoms are cheaping than paying for kids that women can't afford. I respect the editors for staying nuetral and headlining an article defending Rush Limbaugh, however.
