“Obama shakes his head. “Voters don’t care about whether the attack was successful. They care about $5 gasoline.””
Isn’t a scenario like this exactly why the Strategic Oil Reserve was created? I suspect that most voters would be willing to accept a temporary spike in gas prices, if it was the price for preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
Longer term — fast-track the pipeline from Alberta & drill baby, drill.
I doubt that Obama would ever say that. We care about $4.00 gasoline, and just look at what Obama is doing about that.
