In reply to the discussion: OBAMA MOCKS FOX CORRESPONDENT WHO ASKS WHY HE WANTS HIGHER GAS PRICES [View all]Enrique

I don't see much mocking.
It's conceivable for people to want higher gas prices by the way, I've seen that idea expressed many times. But Obama is not one of those people and the way they try to paint him that way is ridiculous, like all attempts to paint him as an ideologue, which he's the furthest thing from.
