Claim: The misleading assault on the president's energy policies continues. A conservative group's TV ad claims "we will all pay more at the pump" because the administration "blocked" the Keystone XL pipeline. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell claims that the pipeline "could have brought 700,000 barrels of oil to the market each day." The TV ad also claims that Obama "opposed exploring for energy in Alaska," which is only half true. All those claims are false or misleading.
