when gas prices hit $4 a gallon in the summer of 2008, coning and president bush lifted a decades old ban on drilling, allowing for exploration on both the atlantic and pacific coast. however these plans were postponed or canceled by the obama administration and we are now back in the same situation of high gas prices, squeezing the budgetings of american families and small business -- budgets of american families and small businesses. the facts are clear. this current administration is blocking american energy production and hurting middle class america. on the other hand, they are also using american tax dollars to help offshore drilling in brazil. since president obama took office, the national average price of gasoline has nearly doubled to $4 in most states. the energy policies of the obama administration have resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of barrels of domestic daily oil production, and to make matters worse, according to the u.s. energy information administration, offshore energy production is expected to drop 13% in 2011. it's not too late to change our country's course of action and to begin to undo the damage done by these policies.
