(Bloomberg) — President Barack Obama said his Republican critics are “licking their chops” at the prospect of rising gasoline prices as higher energy costs threaten to crimp the economic recovery.
For the third time in a week, Obama discussed energy policy as he’s come under increasing criticism from Republicans in Congress and on the presidential campaign trail.
“Higher gas prices are like a tax straight out of your paychecks,” Obama said at Nashua Community College in Nashua, New Hampshire, an electoral swing state that his campaign has targeted for the November election. “I know this is hard to believe, but some politicians are seeing higher gas prices as a political opportunity.”
