Obama was boasting of lower gas prices as he leads into his SOTU speech.
Those prices have dropped because of fracking and other methods Mr. Obama has opposed. We could’ve had a pipeline bringing in even more oil from Canada. We could’ve had offshore drilling near our coasts.

Yes, he opposed them, and also said that more drilling / resources would not bring down the price. He also is on record wanting gas prices to increase to force people to use less gasoline - when they went up over $4.00 per gallon back in the 2008 campaign he said he would have “preferred a more gradual adjustment” - he wasn’t unhappy with the increase in the gas prices, just how fast they went up. Now he claims lower gas prices are a good thing and apparently wants to claim credit for it.
