lower it to 2.50 is a liar. don t forget when barak obama raised his rand, gasoline was 1.83. so getting it down to 2.50 would still be substantially higher than when president obama took over. so getting it down isn t the problem. figuring out an administration has an energy policy that s willing to get it down brian: all of the above energy policy, which means none of the above. eric: president obama has none of the above, you re right. need to drill, need to figure out work on the epa with the blending requirements and there is one more they can do, which i m only going to tell the president. gretchen: that was in your secret folder. here is the interesting thing. when the president put out his energy success, the very first one was production is higher under this president than in the former president. but many people argue that s because president bush put into effect some of the drilling. interestingly enough, the president s own spokesperson
$4 a gallon. when he took oifts was $1.83, now it s $3.61. the difference in price in disposable income to americans is $230 billion a year. disposable income coming out of the economy and shipping it overseas to foreign oil sheiks. megyn: i want to get this point in. why are we subsidizing the oil companies. pull it it s $5 billion. but also pull the $25 billion in green energy subsidies. fine. i m all for that. you don t think we need alternative energy? but the private sector is the one that has to do it. megyn: we need alternative energy but politically how does that sell? barack obama talks about how we have less oil in our cars and trucks and how that s work. i get emails from viewers when
talk a good game but if you put up the numbers you could be able to reclaim the offense here. guest: and you will see that in the next couple of weeks. neil: are we doing it this year? guest: i would like to see us lower the corporate tax rate. neil: we would all like it. guest: i think it can happen and i would hike to happen, it is a great contrast to the obama premium families are paying at the pump. they were paying $1.83 when obama took office and now it is around $3.50 because of his radical policies. that is what families are frustrated about. the president talk as good game but the policies contradict it. neil: thank you, congressman. afghanistan protesters saying death to america, too late to a mom whose son is dead protecting the very folks
obama administration was $1.83. it came down from $4 a gallon under george bush, yes, it was $4 but the day it started on its downward trajectory, oil prices and gasoline was july 17th of 2008. you know what happened that exact same week, that was the week that george bush said he s pulling the moratorium on off-shore drilling and opened up drilling off the coasts and oil prices started to tumble from $145 a barrel down to $33 a barrel in january of 2009. the rnc sees trouble for the president regarding this and apparently, they sent out something, according to the papers called pundit prep for their talking heads to go out. they say the three best ways to define the barack obama economy, the national debt which is skyrocketing. the unemployment which is north of 8%. and gas prices. that s true. the gas prices are impacting you. how has it affected you? what are you going without? e-mail us, we d like to know.
in some sort of price manipulation and he said he would do this to oil companies. i ll make oil companies like exxon pay a tax on their windfall profits and we ll use the money to help families pay for the skyrocketing energy costs and other bills. ok. that s when he was a senator! now he s the president. he could probably do all that other stuff he was talking about about back then. nothing. can i point something out? for every penny per gallon on the pump, a billion dollars comes out of americans ability to spend so a $1.83 when they started. $3 $3.52 now. that s $170 billion of spending ability coming directly out of the american economy. so 83% it s gone up. more. more. it s closer to 91% or 92%. we asked folks out there in tvland to e-mail us and i got a couple of them. brian ross writes i live in tampa, i own a mitsubishi
