CUSHING, OKLA. (AP) — President Barack Obama wants to speed up work on a pipeline from an Oklahoma oil hub to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Obama said yesterday in Oklahoma that global economics are driving the run-up in gasoline prices and increased drilling across the country won’t bring prices down right away.
