Flashback! Obama Campaigns on High Gas Prices

On April 25, 2008, Obama campaigned at a gas station in Indiana, referring to high gas prices ($3.60 at the time) as a potential "crisis".

"For the well-off in this country, high gas prices are mostly an annoyance, but to most Americans, they're a huge problem, bordering on a crisis...And as President, I'll work to solve this energy crisis once and for all. We'll invest $150 billion over the next ten years in establishing a green energy sector that will create up to 5 million new jobs - and those are jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced. We'll invest in clean energies like solar, wind, and biodiesel."
