In 2008 when Obama was running for president, chief energy advisor to candidate Obama and now Energy Secretary Stephen Chu told this to The Wall Street Journal with regard to gas prices and dependence on fossil fuel: "Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe."

It's NewsMax. I know you trust them. BTW: Newt is just being an ass. He's good at that. $5.00 gas is just a mile marker on the way to European levels. Nothing Newt or Obama or any other candidate can do about it. This is being orchestrated above the Presidents pay grade.

Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
