Obama demands Congress end oil, gas subsidies

NASHUA, N.H. — Pres­i­dent Barack Obama, turn­ing his polit­i­cal sights on snowy New Hamp­shire, demanded that Con­gress elim­i­nate oil and gas com­pany sub­si­dies that he called an out­ra­geous gov­ern­ment “give­away.” Though polit­i­cally a long shot, the White House believes the idea res­onates at a time of high gaso­line prices.
