Mitt Romney is ramping up attacks on President Obama over rising gasoline prices by calling for the firing of Obama’s Interior and Energy secretaries and the head of the Environmental Protection Agency…

“No question in my mind that these — I call them the gas-hike trio — that those three are on a mission to drive up the price of gasoline and all energy so that they can finally get their solar and their wind to be more price-competitive. That’s what they want to do,” Romney said in Illinois Saturday, according to The Los Angeles Times and other outlets…

Romney and other critics say Obama places too many federal lands and waters off-limits to development, and also allege that administration environmental rules are too burdensome.
