They asked Energy Secretary Steven Chu if the goal of the
Administration was to get gas prices down.
His answer? "No, the overall
goal is to decrease our dependency on oil, to build and strengthen our economy."
In 2008, Chu said, "Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price
of gasoline to the levels in Europe."

As a cabinet-level secretary, Chu
speaks for Obama.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I saw an article that Israel will not warn the United
States if it decides to attack Iranian nuclear facilities. Then, how can they
consider themselves to be friends of us?
(Carla ~ Victorville, CA)
A. Their considerations would be security. If they tell us, who will leak the info to
Iran? Frankly, Obama himself would
probably pick up the phone and call the Ayatollah. Secondly, Obama has created a rift between us
and Israel and the longtime friendship between the two nations is, at best,
strained.
Q. I understand that a woman in Texas was shot by
Mexicans. Can you elaborate? (Leonard ~ Dixie, UT)
A. The woman was struck by bullets that flew across the
border from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The woman was struck at the same time Juarez
police were battling carjackers a few hundred feet from the U.S.-Mexico
border. My answer to the deteriorating situation down there? Don’t even think about going to Mexico to
drink the water.
Q. I am so relieved to hear that North Korea is going to
stop its nuclear weapons program. Obama’s administration is making some really
great progress lately. (Maureen ~ Santa Rosa, CA)
A. If you believe for one minute that North Korea is going
to stop its program, I have ten acres of land in the Florida Everglades I’d
like to sell you… cheap. This is all
total baloney and designed only to give them more time to accomplish what their
agenda is. They, like Iran, have engaged
in lies and subterfuge on a regular basis in an effort to get nukes in their
weapons arsenal; they’re not going to stop now for anything. Well, on the other hand, they might stop for
a large group of Vegas strippers doing a line dance, but only for an hour or
so.
