Thread: Obama done it again!

Now Obama is laughing off the idea that government plays any role in the price of gasoline... Just a few years after he ran on the idea that the Bush administration had caused a skyrocket in gas prices. I'm sorry, but even if you think his progressive socialism is perfect, you simply cannot ignore how much of a friggin hypocrite he can be!

Would you mind providing a source of Obama saying Bush cause the rise in gas prices?

He more then likely did but I would like to see what he said.

As a Republican, I have to agree with this. You can't have it both ways.

Sure you can always say "I mean... the policies of the Bush Administration set an ambiance of investing in commodities" all you want- nothing has changed... people are still short-selling petroleum- the root cause of this problem.

Logically, the only solution is the socialism of Big Energy to control these things- a very anti-Conservative idea.

Obama is absolutely CORRECT in recently stating that oil is a GLOBAL market. And that is why drilling here, affects prices of gasoline little if at all.

I knew that over 3 Presidents ago. It is one of the reasons I know that developing and domestically producing alternate sources of energy is most likely the BEST way to go (for the future).

Frackin' political realities have led many politicians to at least 'seem' hypocritical. Obama has been one of the more reasonable, real and honest politicians in American history. Even so, I understand why many could disagree with certain positions he takes as POTUS; decisions/policies don't always seem as clear to us who must consider far less than they tend to. If it were truly easy to be POTUS... it would not grey the hair (age) of the person who holds the office, as much as it does.

While I certainly agree with you, I get the sense that obama and company are destroying our nation on purpose, and that they have just enough dupes and ignoramuses to go along with his scheme. You see, obama is following the Cloward/Piven strategy to bankrupt America by over taxing and over regulating every private business so that our nation and our economy will be forced to give in to his socialism for the big government takeover starting with our healthcare and working itself further into our private lives. Obama is working from an FDR blueprint to where government controls everything including what foods you eat and what temperature you'll need to set your thermostat at. Its frightening my friend!

I don't know what Conservatives are moaning about.

Oil production has increased under Obama. The fact of the matter is oil prices are worldwide, if gas prices go up in the United States chances are they go up everywhere, look at Hurricane Katrina, oil prices universally went up and prices are universally going up again.

I agree that Obama doesn't have a good record on energy because he is essentially a conservative on energy.

Take a look back at what happened to the price of gasoline when Bush lifted the ban on drilling in the eastern Gulf of Texas.

I knew that over 3 Presidents ago. It is one of the reasons I know that developing and domestically producing alternate sources of energy is most likely the BEST way to go (for the future).

So the price of oil is global but the gasoline produced by algae will not be affected? We are exporting gasoline today. What makes you think that all the pie in the sky energy sorces that the liberal dreams of won't be exported to the highest bidder?

Obama's hair is going grey because he is married to a woman that looks like a man with a monkey's head. And as you might expect from a person who has to look at that face every day Michelle is a little angry with the world.

The increases in production started before Obama was elected and you know it or you shouldn't be talking about energy. While the price of oil is influenced by global demand the US still has the greatest influence of all and if we could drill were the new oil is to be found the price would fall and we would have the resources to develop new energy sources.

I'm tired of people with your ugly and visceral approach (as expressed above). You're on ignore.
