LOL, blatantly trying to buy votes, hes out all over the place stating he wants higher prices to decrease our dependancy, but in a critical election time, suddenly changes his tune to "I want lower gas prices because it (high gas prices) hurts families."

Dude is fucking pathetic.

Of course he answered the right way, who's going to say "Yes I want higher gas prices", it may work on idiots, but when he' all over the damn place talking about how he wants higher prices to ween people off oil, kinda makes him look like an ass.

I mean, its just a little worse than Newt talking about good family life while being on his 3rd wife. But Im sure no Obama fans will see it that way.

Dude is fucking pathetic.

They actually thought they could pull off higher prices without any of the political reprecussions. Shows how pathetically stupid the Usurper is.

Obama says he wants lower gas prices

CBS News) President Obama on Tuesday scoffed at the notion he wants higher gas prices, as some of his critics claim.

Asked about the charge at his first formal White House press conference of the year, Mr. Obama replied to Fox News correspondent Ed Henry's question with a question of his own.

"From a political perspective, do you think the president of the United States going into re-election wants gas prices to go up higher? Is there anybody here who thinks that makes a lot of sense?"

Presidents of both parties have historically considered it harder to get votes if gas prices rise in the months before an election.

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich last month said on CBS This Morning that Mr. Obama "of course" wants gas prices to rise in order to push people to move to alternative energy sources.

In addition to the political reasons for lower gas prices, Mr. Obama noted that he wants them to help the economy.

"I meet folks every day who have to drive a long way to get to work and filling up this gas tank gets more and more painful and it's a tax out of their pocketbooks," he said. "When gas prices go up consumer spending often pulls back. We're in the midst of a recovery starting to build steam, and we don't want to reverse it."

Today's press conference gave Mr. Obama a moment in the media spotlight on a day that would have otherwise belonged to Mr. Gingrich and his Republican rivals -- 10 states are holding their Republican nominating contests today in what's known as "Super Tuesday."
