Obama Wants Higher Gas Prices To Be New 'Norm'

Dan Gainor of the Media Research Center has a great commentary at Fox News about the rising price of gas and why it's happening now.
Here's an excerpt:

When Obama took over in January 2009, gas was a "mere" $1.84 a gallon. Now, "mere" is what’s left in our wallets after filling up.

And it’s all deliberate. 

It’s not your standard lefty war "about oil' conspiracy. There’s no grand cabal pumping up gas prices to the point where ordinary Americans can’t afford to drive.
No. High gas prices are the natural result of a series of decisions by the Obama administration that are geared to hiking the cost of fuel, limiting how much we drive and controling one more asepct of Americans’ lives. Obama isn’t the only factor. Mideast politics, wars – including Obama’s new one in Libya – and global demand all have impact, too.
What’s more, this high price reflects what most of the left believe it should be and is thoroughly embraced by the elite media who know they’ll still be able to pull up to a pump and afford $50 or $75 for a fill-up.
