Spin, Baby, Spin

So the president came into office saying he wanted higher energy prices to push us to a new, Green, post-petroleum future. As the proverb says, be careful what you wish for.

We have oil prices going on a steady march up that people are starting to really feel in their wallets.

President Obama faces reelection this year. He says the steadily rising oil prices aren't his fault.

Which leads me to ask the president why he is unhappy that he is getting what he said he wanted--and what we needed? Shouldn't this be a case of "promises made and promises kept?"

Of course, embracing the rise of oil prices as just what he intended would require the president to decide whether he has to tell us we are too stupid to appreciate his brilliance or that his high energy price objective was stupid.
