he didn't do the keystone excel pipeline, he doesn't want to make american jobs. against him for the environment over jobs and energy production. if they can construct it in a larger narrative against obama, i'm not saying they will, but they're certainly looking at gas prices as a look into that and the president is being preenter tiff as saying no quick fix, no silver bullet, don't let these guys convince you about something that isn't true on energy prices. chris: unemployment goes up, it goes up because gas prices are putting a damper on the recovery. it could go up because of the iranian crisis. what about the european thing with greece? >> i'm surprised that the market hasn't acted more strongly to the problems we have seen cropping up. we spoke with warren buffett this week, i thought he would say things improved quite a bit, he said it's still out there. and another, this is the second inning of this crisis. too many nations who have to go and keep this together and too many places that could go wrong. it could pop up again chris: what will it do to our ec

most recently by rejecting the keystone excel pipeline.resident said once again is there is no silver bullet that will bring down gas prices and that the remedy for pain at the pump is decreased dependence on foreign oil, new fuel efficiency standards and green technology. >> we can't just drill our way out of this problem. why we consume 20% of the world's oil, we only have 2% of the world appear oil reserves. we have to develop new technology that will help us use new forms of energy. >> reporter: the president is also asking americans to contact their members of congress if they'd like the government to stop sending $4 million of taxpayer subsidies every year to the oil companies. peter deucey, fox news. >>> plagiarism can be a problem in college and now a new computer program can help take down the cheaters. >> we'll explain up next. stay with us. with us. 3q every day, an average of 5,000 people switch from cascade to finish dishwasher detergent. that's about 150,000 a month - over 2 million people so far. with finish quantum you get

your basic message, five paragraphs in, approval of the entire keystone excel pipeline should happennow? >> well, it is needed now. it is the cost to the consumer money to pump every day and because this oil, he is right, it is bottlenecked in cushing, oklahoma, instead of being able to get to the consumers, and to the refineries where we need it. that delay is costing everybody and needs to be done now and instead of after the election, so that's true. >> how is it costing me more money? i thought gas prices were set by speculators and fluctuating based upon fears in the market, what's happening in iran, et cetera. how is this costing me specifically? >> well, we're using oil from other places that this oil could get to. right now there is a big differential between wti and prices of about 15 to $18 per barrel, so that converts to almost six cents a gallon. it is a big amount right there. my message is not to be an obama critic. that's not my message. i am in explorations. i am one that produce a lot of oil in north dakota and we found that the larnlest field, ever found in the u.s.

attempt by republicans in the senate to bypass president obama and fast-track approval of that keystone excel pipeline project. it failed as they fell four votes short of the 60 votes they needed. the president ordered a delay in the project as you may recall, which would run from canada all the way to the gulf coast to give moreimreview the impact of the pipeline on the environment. >>> now we switch to the presidential campaign, which has moved south, with contests in mississippi and alabama on tap next week, that seems to be giving newt gingrich a little running room while front-runner mitt romney is expected to face a tougher crowd. nbc's ron mott reports tonight from mobile, alabama. >> reporter: newt gingrich rolled into alabama, high gas prices in mind, hoping to pump new momentum back in his campaign while on familiar ground, the deep south, relaxed enough for a public dance with wife callista. >> like obama, gingrich supported individual health insurance mandates -- >> reporter: but amid growing calls to get out of the race, both by a pro-rick santorum super pac -- >> who can win? ri

and finally, has flatly rejected the keystone excel pipeline. all of these things helped to drive up the cost of gas and increase our dependence on foreign oil. so the president can't claim to have a comprehensive approach to energy because he doesn't. simply doesn't. and at a time he says he does, the american people should remember one word. keystone. keystone. another thing they might want to do is play a clip of the press conference the president held just yesterday. ask about whether he actually wants gas prices to go up, the president's facetious attempt only served to confirm the premise. it was the president's admission that rising gas prices hurt the economy that betrayed the administration's attempt to have it both ways on this issue. because of higher gas prices hurt the economy, why in the world is the administration calling for higher taxes on energy manufacturers? we know these taxes would drive up the price at the pump and send jobs overseas. the congressional research service said that. if the president want to drive prices down,
