WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama will deliver a speech on energy and rising gas prices Thursday at the University of Miami, FOX News Channel reported.
White House officials told FOX the president will lay out an "all of the above" approach to the nation's energy security that he has previously outlined and will tout the fact that domestic oil production has risen on his watch while imports have decreased.
Gas prices have continued to climb in recent months, surpassing $4 per gallon in some areas. According to the Automobile Association of America's (AAA) Daily Fuel Gauge Report, the average price of regular gasoline in the US rose Tuesday to $3.57 per gallon, a 12.6-percent increase from the year-ago average price of $3.17.
The White House on Tuesday acknowledged that gas prices were causing Americans to feel pain at the pump, but said there's little the federal government can do to contain rising costs.

“Feel the jolt, buy a Volt!”
Bush’s fault
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
“Drill Here, Drill There”
A Cliff Notes version of the speech:
Bush’s fault
Oil is yucky
Windmills!
Chevy Volt!
Solar-powered beanies
Electric golf carts
at this rate, it will be approaching $5/gal by labor day weekend, right before the elections. then we’ll see some real painc and rightfully so. What was it that Obama’s energy director said, we need to find a way to make our gasoline cost as much as it does in Europe? Well way to go jackwad, mission accomplished.
Read Teleprompter, then go play golf. That’s pResident Fail’s real agenda this week.
Is he going to tell us to keep our tires correctly inflated?
Will he give us all a tire gauge lesson again?
Bush’s fault
don’t forget one of my favorites:
“pump up your tires”
“...evil oil companies...”
“...evil oil barons...”
“...evil SUVs...”
“...evil Republicans...”
“...greedy and evil Wall St. traders...”
“...high speed rail is the answer...”
“...buy a Volt...”
etc., etc. ad nauseum
correct...moooshell is wasting money skiing so why not golf with boy friends in fl?
“at this rate, it will be approaching $5/gal by labor day weekend, right before the elections. then we’ll see some real painc and rightfully so.”
Don’t be surprised if some Obama magic appears right about this time and gas prices plunge, just in time for the elections. This could be one of the messiah’s miracles in the making to convince the sheeple...
But, that’s the problem with false messiahs; somebody else gets crucified.
Predicted meme:
“I inherited this mess, but I’m working hard to clean it up!”
Satan caused the high prices to make Obama look bad.
Great chart!
Let me guess , a stupid tax on greedy oil companies ,which the oil companies would just hand to us ,Obama makes money, oil companies make money and we get screwed
Just got gas tonight in San Jose, Ca. It was $4.38 for 87 octane. It will hit $5 by Memorial Weekend.
