The President and gas prices, on the same page as Krauthammer

In his column today, Charles Krauthammer touches on the some of the same points I made in my post yesterday, starting with:

"Yes, of course, presidents have no direct control over gas prices. But the American people know something about this president and his disdain for oil. The “fuel of the past,” he contemptuously calls it. To the American worker who doesn’t commute by government motorcade and is getting fleeced every week at the pump, oil seems very much a fuel of the present — and of the foreseeable future."
