#3 Big oil's fault, says Yahoo News, not the fact that Brandon canceled leases, or judges keep shutting them down. Oh, and the inflated gas prices are mostly on Putin, certainly not Brandon.

#9 Don't forget the Feds are also interfering with, or even threatening, banks who lend money to the existing drillers/refiners who use the credit for start-up and production costs.
