I do not know that Obam ahas said that on camera. However, his energy secretary, Mr Chu, said this...

"Somehow,” Chu said, “we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.”

Steven Chu's Europe gas quote haunts President Obama - Bob King - POLITICO.com

This is our Secretary Of Energy who said this. I cannot imagine who benefits from skyrocketing gas prices, other than folks who own green technology companies. Raising gas prices hurt a lot more folks than they help.

This issue will clobber Obama this summer when we're paying $5 a gallon.
