In his State of the Union address, President Obama publicly embraced an “all of the above” position on expanding our domestic energy supply.

Gas Prices and the Free Market
Posted in February 27th, 2012
Last week, President Obama said there was no silver bullet to solving the problem of rapidly rising gas prices and he mocked the idea that anyone has a plan to get us back to prices around $2.00 per gallon.

‘Devil Is Gonna Be In the Details’
