President Barack Obama’s “Truth Team” is not quite living up to its name when it
comes to blaming Republicans for driving up gas prices.
The Obama campaign’s
“Truth Team,” is described on his campaign website as “a network of supporters
of President Obama who are committed to responding to unfounded attacks and
defending the President’s record.” The team blames Republican donor Thomas
O’Malley’s refinery company, PBF Energy, for helping to “drive gas prices up
this year by curtailing gas production.” PBF Energy is America’s fourth largest
petroleum refining company, and O’Malley gave $100,000 to Restore Our Future,
which supports Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
But USA Today called Obama’s truth team on it and revealed that the
facts do not support the claim. “The Energy Information Administration credits
PBF Energy for preventing a price spike in the Northeast this year by opening a
refinery in Delaware — partially offsetting the loss of production from two
other Philadelphia-area refineries that have closed,” USA Today
reported.
Obama’s “truth team” also botched another claim about a March fire
at PBF Energy’s refinery in Delaware, saying it “directly contributed to a spike
in gas prices.” USA Today countered that the fire was “under control in about an
hour and had a ‘minimal impact’ on production — despite published speculation
that it might hurt production and affect gasoline prices.”
