Do you ever stop lying? I myself posted links dating back to 2009 and 2010.When Obama blocks drilling offshore and in Alaska and tries to block fracking those reduce supply and cause prices to go up.
Opening the Eastern Seaboard to oil companies is a prize the industry has sought for decades and is a blow to environmental groups. They argue that the move would put the coasts of Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia at risk for an environmental disaster like the BP spill that struck the Gulf Coast in 2010, when millions of barrels of oil washed ashore after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig.

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, President Obama designated the pristine waters of Bristol Bay as off limits to consideration for oil and gas leasing. This action safeguards one of the nation’s most productive fisheries and preserves an ecologically rich area of the Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska that is vital to the commercial fishing and tourism economy and to Alaska Native communities.
Bristol Bay is at the heart one of the world’s most valuable fisheries, helping to provide 40 percent of America’s wild-caught seafood and support a $2 billion annual fishing industry.

Obama says fracking can be a bridge to a clean-energy future. It s not that simple. - The Washington Post
The discussion is about economics, Skippy. Having a reason doesn't change the economic impact of the policy. I am not conceding your point, I'm just not letting you move the goal posts
Except two out of the three of the policies apply downward pressure on prices. The fight for drilling rights in ANWR is as old as the refuge and has little influence on prices. The President has not permanently blocked offshore drilling. He has not regulated fracking and in fact has encouraged it.
Every article liberals are pointing to is recent, when Obama ran in front of the parade. Yes, now he's taking credit. After it happened. That can't cause it to happen, before he was fighting every initiative.
You can say he is supporting it now, sort of, but nothing you or the other liberals have presented has shown he caused it when he was fighting it. That's why articles saying he supports domestic energy are all a year old or less
