The oil prices are on the rise because of the unrest in the Middle East Libya in particular. How may I ask is it the fault/doing of the Obama administration.

Oil prices rose beginning in 2002 & 2003 with the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq which was directly related to the actions taken by the Bush administration. When was the last time you saw oil at $40.00 a barrel? During the Clinton administration?????????

By not producing our own oil.
By shutting down off shore drilling in the gulf.
By not allowing oil production in Alaska to grow.
By prohibiting refinerys from growing and producing.

Other than those minor items, nuttin' really.

You can't really be this uninformed, can you??

Never mind, rhetorical question, I already know the answer.:rolleyes:
