Nope. It's up to the people making the "quote" as part of their argument to get it right. That would be you and Rude.

Rude said Chu said, "he didn't understand why we weren't paying 9.00 a gallon for gas like in Europe".

You said, "Steven Chu declared, 'Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe'."

So Rude says the energy secretary can't understand how the market works, and you say the energy secretary wants gasoline prices to skyrocket.

If you guys want to use the man's words as part of your argument, I'd suggest you quote his words accurately and in context.

I didn't say it, I quoted it and included the link to support the quote. How exactly does what he said not imply he wants to get gas prices higher?
