"...that was me, people." That's not taking credit for the surge? Your claim is a crock of shit! Barack Obama actively spoke out against fracking and banned all new drilling on Federally controlled lands...but then turned around and had the chutzpah to declare that it was him that was responsible for energy production going up every year he was President! Energy production went DOWN on areas that he had control over and went UP everywhere he didn't!Would you like me to pull some examples of him touting the increase of oil production as an accomplishment of his administration? He most certainly DID take credit for it!Why don't YOU educate me? Please tell me what Obama policy is it that dropped gas prices? I know he took credit for higher production of oil and natural gas but anyone with even a modicum of sense knows that is laughable!I'm neither blind nor stupid.WTF are you talking about? Didn’t you see how prices maintained $2 for the duration of trump’s presidency? Haven’t you seen them rise by nearly 50% under Biden already? Didn’t you see them rise from $1.40 to over $4 under Obama? Are you blind or just really stupid?You never asked a question.You never answered my question daddy o so is the goal of a green president cheap gas prices?And the ignorance just keeps on coming.Is this what you voted for, Democrats?
Among some of the earliest announcements coming out of the White House after Joe Biden’s inauguration was a promise to clamp down on drilling, particularly on federal lands and offshore. While this all has to be done in stages, the oil and gas industry is already reacting. And since markets rely on “futures” as much as they do current supply and demand levels, the effects can often precede the cause. This is being noticed all across the nation at this point. As CBS Baltimore pointed out on Monday, gas prices have been slowly but steadily rising over the past month. There are actually a variety of factors driving this trend, as we’ll get to in a moment, but government policy both at home and abroad is always a factor.

Any president who thinks he's can control pump prices is an idiot.
See Trump for evidence.
You on the other hand are an ignorant asshole.
Why don't you collect a few facts such as that gas prices dropped under Obama from nearly $4 when he took office to less than $1.75. Know why fool? Because Obama bought stability and the risk premium dropped.
Prices went up under Trump from under $1 to nearly $3.25. Never heard a word from you did we shitbucket?
Go educate yourself fool. Then when you get up to 4th grade, come back.
Obama didn't take credit for the surge in oil production. Even an idiot can understand that everybody started drilling because the ppb was high.
Obama Claims Credit for Boom in U.S. Oil Production, Praises Paris Climate Accords | National Review
President Obama claimed credit Tuesday for the boom in American oil production, even as he praised the Paris Climate Accords.www.nationalreview.com
Here's what Obama said: “I was extraordinarily proud of the Paris accords because — you know, I know we’re in oil country and we need American energy, and by the way, American energy production,” Obama told the audience gathered at Rice University’s Baker Institute on Tuesday night. “You wouldn’t always know it but it went up every year I was president. That whole, suddenly America’s like the biggest oil producer and the biggest gas — that was me, people.”
He acknowledged that the surge in domestic oil production happened while he was president.
It happened because the ppb was HIGH and in spite of Deepwater Horizon or stopping the Keystone XL or not drilling on Federal lands.
