Back during the Presidential Campaign when the price of gasoline was about $4/gallon Obama remarked that he was OK with the price, it had just gone up too fast. Now he has appointed an energy secretary who says gasoline should cost what it does in Europe, which ranges up to the range of $10 per gallon. I knew what Obama thought about the price of energy, but I suspect that most who voted for him did not. Obama supporters knew that Palin's teen-aged daughter was pregnant but didn't know much of anything about where Obama stood on any issue. They knew he wanted change. $10 per gallon gasoline will be change all right, but I doubt it is the change Obama's supporters were hoping for. Here is a piece about this issue.
