On Fox News Sunday, Mitt Romney said that President Obama campaigned saying that “he wanted to see gasoline prices go up” and that he implemented that plan once in office. 

“He said that energy prices would skyrocket under his views and he selected three people to help him implement that program: the secretary of energy, the secretary of the interior, and the EPA administrator,” Romney said. “And this gas-hike trio has been doing the job over the last three and a half years and gas prices are up.”

Romney said that Obama has now undergone an “election-year conversion” because he has now decided that gas prices should come down.
