If the President is for the middle class , why is oil and gas production on Federal Lands dropping?  How can he say Oil and Gas production in the United States is way up under his administration?

From the Institute for Energy Research:

The truth is energy production is up in spite of the President because it is occurring on private lands where he has no control.

Gas prices have more than doubled since January 2009 when the President took office.  Prices for everything else have exploded because it costs more to get products to market.  This is being for the middle class?
