Obama's achilles heel

Yes.....go on........?

I don't think he was going anywhere with that. I think he just didn't like being faced with the cold truth that the "gas price" strategy is a dog that won't hunt, and wanted to throw some obscure jab at Pelosi out there to deflect the argument...

The right wing chattering class is arguing that since Pelosi had commented in 2007 about the lack of conservation efforts by the Bush admins (no movement on fleet mileage) and it was a contributing factor to increased US demand/prices, that this is somehow equal to their specious argument that Obama should be able to control fuel prices. Never mind that demand is down because of economic reasons, never mind that Obama has mandated higher mileage requirements, never mind that US oil production by these private oil companies are higher than the Bush years (specifically because of increased world prices), never mind that the refineries are exporting their product out of the US at record levels.....
