Has Obama had an election year conversion, or are the Republicans pandering?

One of every American’s worst complaints today is the ever rising price at the gas pumps to fill up. Quick to cast the blame at gas companies and politicians, Americans are quick to anger about this sensitive issue. So when Mitt Romney and other Republicans turn their campaigning against Obama’s “midnight hour conversion” to lower gas prices, are they looking at an actual stance from Obama, or are they simply playing on the average American’s biggest problem?

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has recently begun attacking Obama’s renewable gas policies, claiming he and his “Gas Hike Trio” have been intentionally raising gas prices in order to push the renewable energy agenda forward all the faster, and that Obama’s “new” stance on lower gas prices should require a resignation from the three advisors.

Even in the worst case of this claim, that the Gas Hike Trio has actually gone about raising gas prices in order to promote the Renewable Energy bill, one should consider that this isn’t actually a terrible thing. America’s reliance on oil is quickly depleting this widely required resource, making gas more and more expensive every day in any case. A plan to reduce American reliance on gasoline before it runs out isn’t a bad one.

The other side of the issue is that it isn’t necessary for this “Gas Hike Trio” to hand in their resignations, and convincing Americans that it is simply muddles the political views of the energy issue. Obama’s team of advisors are committed to assisting America in cleaning up energy usage as soon as possible. Just because Obama is doing what he can to reduce gasoline prices, even if it is against the thoughts of his advisor team, doesn’t make the rest of their policies invalid.
