Haley Barbour repeated his charge on Face the Nation:
Barbour also stood by his previous charge that President Obama has been intentionally driving up energy prices. He said there's "no question" that's the case.
"This administration's policy clearly has been to drive up the cost of energy so Americans would use less of it," he said. He pointed to remarks Steven Chu made in 2008, before he became Energy Secretary. Chu said gas prices should be higher [though he changed his position upon joining the Obama administration].
"Why should we be surprised when his Secretary of Energy said in 2008 what we really need in the United States is to get the price of gas up to where it in Europe?" Barbour said. "They may need that in Berkeley, but not in Biloxi."
