Yesterday I told you about the Obama administration’s completely warped explanation of why Obama failed to approve the Keystone XL pipeline.  Now it’s gotten even better.  First, Obama’s chief dogwasher Jay Carney says that Obama does not “accept responsibility” for high gas prices.  Yeah … right.  And I don’t accept responsibility for my weight.  We could let Obama run and hide from this were it not for the outcry over Bush’s responsibility for high gas prices during his administration.  Princess Pelosi: “The price of oil is at the doorstep -- 4 dollars plus per gallon for oil, is attributed to two oil men in the White House.”  Where’s the aging hollow-eyed hippie from Haight-Ashbury now? 

But it gets worse.  Jay Carney went on to brag that domestic oil production is at a record high right now.  That’s complete horsesqueeze, and here’s why.  The fact is that oil production is at a record despite Obama, not because of Obama.  Let me remind you of a few things.

• Oil and natural gas production on federal lands is down by more than 40 percent compared to 10 years ago.

• Under the Obama administration, 2010 had the lowest number of onshore leases issued since 1984.

• The Obama administration held only one offshore lease sale in 2011.

But don’t count on the ObamaMedia to call them out on this.  The ObamaMedia is doing all it can to quell any fervor over gas prices.  Too bad they didn’t extend the same courtesy to George Bush.  The Business and Media Institute analyzed broadcast network news references to gas or fuel prices between Jan. 20 and Feb. 20, 2012 and from March 24 and April 24, 2008. It found that in the 2008 period there were more than 4 times as many gas prices stories, news briefs or news headlines on ABC, CBS and NBC as there were in 2012 (97 to 21).

I think you see what’s happening here.
