I blame Obama and Salazar

Who's to blame when gas costs $1 more than last year?

The article tries to lay it off on speculators and doe snot even mention the real culprits who are working to strangle domestic production of oil and gas.  If they would get out of the way the price would drop significantly.  The recent price drop followed Obama's very modest opening of a few prospects in Alaska.  If he open ANWR, and offshore areas of Alaska, the Pacific and Atlantic coast and the Eastern gulf of Mexico the price would drop significantly as the speculators would be faced with future increased supplies.

The fact is that Salazar and Obama want higher gas prices to make their inefficient alternative energy projects look more competitive.  The media would apparently rather blame speculators for reacting to Obama/Salazar policies than focus on the real problem.
