IF JOHN BOEHNER CAN'T BEAT OBAMA WITH THE TRUTH, HE WILL JUST LIE.

Interviewed by Jonathan Karl, John Boehner seems to have forgotten that during Bush 43's term, gas had risen just as high as today, for several months.  However, he needs to lie about it and say that Obama is not allowing oil drilling.  As I understand it, many oil drilling permits have been awarded since the BP spill, in the Gulf and in deep water.

The US oil drilling regulator says we cannot drill our way to lower gas prices.  It is also said that the oil companies are making record profits off the hides of the middle class who must have gas to get to work and meet family needs for transportation, shopping, etc.

Obama has made clear that her disagrees with continuing those oil subsidies.  An article by Ben Geman on 4/25/11 makes the argument as to why they should be dropped quite clear.
