The

Clip of David Gregory on
NBC's "Meet the Press" (3/25/12): A lot of these increases in
production went back to Bush-era decisions, and most of them of course
are on private land. So you're taking credit for this boost in
exploration which is not really fair...
Female Announcer:
Taking credit for others' hard work. Typical Washington. [SFX] No matter how
Obama spins it, gas costs too much.
Tell Obama stop blaming others and work to pass better energy

New Crossroads GPS Ad Presses Obama on Failure to Keep Gas Prices Low
Broadcast and cable buy totals $1.7 million in six states.
WASHINGTON – Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies (Crossroads
GPS) today announced the launch of a new TV spot focusing on President
Obama’s failed efforts to keep gas prices low – specifically, policies
that have decreased energy production.
The issue ad, entitled “Too Much,”
will start Wednesday morning on broadcast and cable networks in
Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio, and Virginia in a buy totaling
$1.7 million.
The spot, which can be viewed here,
urges viewers to contact the White House to advocate for realistic
energy solutions that will address the rising cost of gasoline.
The ad
is also available for high resolution download upon request.
“President Obama’s ‘hope and change’ has deteriorated into
hype and blame – puffing up his record and blaming others for policy
failures,” said Crossroads GPS president Steven Law.
“This ad sets the record straight and calls for real solutions to
sky-high gas prices, not more political spin.”
According to the U.S. Department of Interior, oil production on
federal
lands and waters decreased by 14% in 2011 from the previous year.
Meanwhile, the president personally lobbied the U.S. Senate to block
the Keystone XL pipeline, which would have brought oil from Canada to
American refineries, and his administration has virtually eliminated
the creation of any new coal electricity plants.
Crossroads GPS is a policy and grassroots advocacy organization that
is committed to educating, equipping and mobilizing millions of
American citizens to take action on the critical economic and
legislative issues that will shape our nation’s future.
