People have short memories so let me refresh yours. In 2010 Barack Obama was campaigning in Columbia Missouri when he uttered these words, "We are are about to fundamentally transform America." He's about to accomplish this feat in his third term.
'Once elected, Obama got right to work. Steven Chu, Obama’s energy secretary, had announced in September 2008, “Somehow, we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe,” which was $9 to $10 a gallon. In 2010, the Obama administration canceled offshore oil drilling leases in the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. In 2011, a federal court held the moratorium on drilling to be illegal and ordered the leases to be reinstated. But Obama’s Department of the Interior refused to obey the court order and was held in contempt of court. Policy analysts writing at the time pointed out that the moratorium was not only damaging the economies of the gulf states but the American economy overall, sending gas prices (and therefore the prices of other goods) higher. https://townhall.com/columnists/laurahollis/2022/06/09/biden-continues-obamas-fundamental-transformation-of-america-n2608461
