Take the Drill-Baby-Drill Challenge: Can You Guess Right?

You know the story. When Obama took office:

Gasoline cost $1.95/gallon and oil, $45

But now (12/9/2014)

Gasoline costs $2.67/gallon and oil, $65

Incredible. And we “understand”—because our smart and honest politicians explained it to us, like so …

We should’ve drilled. But Obama and his EPA stopped us. So the supply of oil went down.

And, that pushes the price up, and high oil prices cause high gas prices. If we had drilled, supply would be up and the price would be down. Maybe down to $1.00/gal like under Clinton (March 1999).

So I dare you to guess which Obama scenario on the graph above is correct. Don’t cheat. Guess before you click to see the answer. Don’t believe it? — See for yourself where the data comes from.

Shocking but true:

We did “drill baby drill” — like never before. Obama didn’t stop us. Just ask the upset Sierra Club . The US supply of oil went up the most since 1970.

Under Obama, drilling has skyrocketed as never before, and the price of gas went from $1.95 to $3.95 (April 1, 2012). There’s a reason.
