Good evening I'm Bret Baier President Obama is trying to convince Americans he is part of the solution.
Not part of the problem of skyrocketing gasoline prices.
Gas jumped another penny a gallon overnight the national average is now three dollars 82 cents a gallon.
Near month crude oil lost 32 cents to close of 105 dollars eleven cents a barrel.
Senior White House foreign affairs correspondent Wendell Goler tells us how the president is defending himself.
At a community college outside Washington President Obama took on his interview critics by noting domestic oil production is the highest in eight years.
Some do not tell me that -- not -- -- drilling all over this country.
The recent spike in gasoline prices seems to be overtaking -- the jobless rate as mr.
Obama's biggest political headache.
And -- economists say in the short term prices have largely out of his control.
A new fox poll suggests most people disapprove of the way he's handling the situation that gives more fuel to the Republicans who want his job.
He held up drilling in the gulf he sold out -- out an ad war.
He said no to the Keystone Pipeline from Canada.
Aides deny the president and British prime minister Cameron -- agreed to release oil from their country's reserves but not that they discussed that.
Meanwhile -- the Obama campaign set to unveil a film showcasing the Affordable Care Act as one of the president's major achievements.
The latest fox poll -- most people want it changed -- repealed altogether something else Republicans eagerly take advantage of but obamacare is a nightmare if you look at the most recent example of the cost of the program.
I think it's already gone up by something like 70% -- projected cost and it hasn't been implemented yet.
Actually a Congressional Budget Office update projects healthcare spending will be less than it predicted last year but the wild disparity in claims about the cost of the measure has been the norm since mr.
Obama proposed.
Keeping the issue alive is one more wave Republicans hope to make that what -- twelve election a referendum on mr.
Obama.
But Vice President Biden says the election's about choice and not just the toys Republican seat to be finding it difficult to make about who will lead them.
A choice between a system that's rig it and -- system that's fair.
A system that trust the workers ZoneAlarm instead of listen folks up and suites.
Folks that's the choice it's a stark choice and in my mind it's not even a close call.
Biden was officially on the campaign trail today in Toledo Ohio but the president's speech -- the policy of it even though it looked a lot like a campaign appearance.
Aides say despite the books mr.
Obama still focused on his job.
I still maintain it the president is.
Still spending the vast preponderance of his time.
On his official duties.
The president passed the 100 mark on fund raisers earlier this month so far that's roughly twice the pace of his predecessor.
In mr.
Bush's reelection bid.
Brett when Google allowed in north long Wendell thank you.
