In the world of President Barack Obama, you can take credit for lower gasoline prices while working behind the scenes to cripple the process that is to a large extent responsible for the lower prices.
But you don’t always get your way.
Cue the president from a 2015 speech at Ivy Tech Community College in Indianapolis:
“We’re as free of foreign oil as we’ve been in 30 years,” Obama said. “We’ve doubled the amount of clean energy that we’re producing. A lot of families are saving a lot of money at the gas pump, which is putting some smiles on folks’ faces.
“You’re welcome.”
