Out-of-Touch: Energy Secretary Lauds Obama Administrations Performance While Gas Prices Continue Climbing

At another recent hearing, Secretary Chu testified that lowering gas prices is not an overall goal for the Obama administration.  Clearly not.  Whether its audacity, denial, or another desperate effort to defend the Obama administration for consistently blocking more American energy, Secretary Chu has proven once again that the administration is not listening to American families and small businesses that are being pinched by skyrocketing gas prices. 

Republicans, on the other hand, have been fighting to address gas prices with the American Energy Initiative.  As part of that effort, House Republicans have passed several bills that would roll back barriers to American energy production to help bring down prices and create jobs.  Senate Democrats have stalled all of these bipartisan bills, and nearly 30 others passed as part of the Republican Plan for Americas Job Creators.  Learn more about the American Energy Initiative on Facebook, and follow the progress of all of the jobs and energy bills stalled in the Democratic-controlled Senate at jobs.gop.gov.
