From WKYX Radio:

US Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky says Republicans and Democrats need to come together to find a solution to high gas prices . McConnell says "The common-sense solution to this problem ... is a combination of energy exploration here in the U.S. to bring down prices in the short-term married to a long-term strategy of energy independence through the development of clean energy technologies." But he says Democrats seem unwilling to hear that. He noted that Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said he prefers a "gradual adjustment." As he put it: "I haven't heard a single one of them say so yet, but I can't imagine they agree with their nominee, that what Americans really needed was a gradual adjustment to $4 a gallon gasoline."
