If his plan to take over America works - with the oil reserves we have in America - he would be the most powerful man on the planet in a one-world government...well, him and Soros.
The obama administration is an oil coup.

“I’m just going to be honest with you. There’s not much we can do next week or two weeks from now,” President Obama said on Wednesday, as he anticipates the pending doom of $4 a gallon gasoline.
But the fact is, the Obama administration previously called for $7 a gallon gasoline. Two years ago, Obama's Energy Secretary Steven Chu wanted to "figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe,” which at the time were over $7 a gallon.
This is not just a public statement but also a result of anti-oil government policies over the past couple years. A blog by the Heritage Foundation outlined many areas in the Obama administration that have contributed to increased oil prices:
-Immediately after taking office in 2009, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, canceled 77 leases for oil and gas drilling in Utah;
-The EPA announced new rules mandating the use of 36 billion gallons worth of renewable fuels (like ethanol) by 2020;
-This summer President Obama needlessly instituted, not one, but two outright drilling bans in the Gulf of Mexico;
-After rescinding his outright offshore drilling ban, President Obama has refused to issue any new drilling permits in the Gulf, a policy that the Energy Information Administration estimates will cut domestic offshore oil production by 13% this year;
-Interior Secretary Salazar announced that the eastern Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic coast, and the Pacific coast will not be developed, effectively banning drilling in those areas for the next seven years;
-The Environmental Protection Agency has announced new global warming regulations for oil refineries;
-Interior Secretary Salazar announced new rules making it more difficult to develop energy resources on federal land.
Of course, these policies, and the anti-drilling, anti-oil propaganda may vanish now that Obama is decreasing his chances of a 2012 presidency. A poor economy -- which high oil prices may have a further impact on -- is not exactly a good campaign contributor.

Idea....No air conditioning in government buildings including schools.
Well, say you want gas prices to be $7. Might be the best way to do this is to stir up problems in the Middle East. Might be, if you were a Community Activist by training, that you knew someone/ some way that this could be done.
Applying this kind of thinking to the ‘coincidental’ anarchy of one after another Middle Eastern countries this Spring, one might just add an unnamed/ (unknown at this time) cause and wonder if the Arab uprisings had been stirred up to bring high gas prices about.
Who might have wanted that?
Who might have been able to stir things up?
For what reason?
Towards what end?
Communists always think hey know best. They always think the are so superior and have all the answers. And yet, historically and present day, everything they do ends in failure, famine, and humanitarian disaster every time.
Obama gets a two-fer. He deliberately starves America of energy, thus ‘putting America in it’s place’, as he has listed as his goal, and simultaneously enriching his first-love, the Muslims.
We kept the Dems, “be careful what you wish for...”. But, they just wouldn’t listen.
And so, here we are. Full steam ahead to Lib paradise. Where it is always sunny and unicorns fart rainbows all day long.
If the fertility rate goes below replacement levels for a long enough period of time because women are too busy working to do such a thing then, yes, we will need less oil and gas.
Or if you simply drive the price of energy so high that nobody but a few can afford it people will need less of it.
