A scant four months ago I made a prediction of what would happen if gas prices rose significantly.

[T]he same people who cried “Socialism!” every time the Obama administration tried something (other than tax cuts for high-income people) to jump-start the economy will wail for government intervention to lower the price of gas.
…
They will do this without recognizing any irony.

I just read this, originating from the speaker.gov blog, so it’s Boehner’s position — Running on Empty: Obama Administration Does Nothing to Address Skyrocketing Gas Prices

I hereby claim success. It didn’t even take until $4 a gallon.

It’s also funny how they claim that Obama’s policies are the cause and in the same breath observe that this oil-price spike happened in 2008 for the same reasons as the current spike. That would seem to violate causality.
