High Gas Hypocrisy: Stunning 15 Times Obama and Top Dems Blame Bush For Gas Prices

Now that Obama is in the White House Democrats and the Administration have been trying to assert the spike in gas prices is not really affected by the Presidents actions. Four years ago they had a very different take,

Tonight I watched NBC and their take on the oil "situation" Not a crisis. and not once was Obamas name mentioned! Not his fault?

[Tzimisce]

And it’s still Bush’s fault.

If you weren’t a stupid right wing hatemonger, you’d know that.

Now go pay your taxes - your government is broke.

Up is down.

White is black.

And if that doesn't work, we'll grow algae.

Democrats Eager to Exploit Anger Over Gas Prices

By MICHAEL JANOFSKY

NY Times- one paragraph snip

Officials at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which advises House candidates, said they sent a memorandum to candidates on Thursday offering guidance on using the issue to their advantage. The memorandum includes a “sample statement” that recommends telling voters, “Americans are tired of giving billion-dollar tax subsidies to energy companies and foreign countries while paying record prices at the pump.”

This was on FoxNews?

Let's take it at face value. Was Bush responsible for the rise in gas prices? In that he approved military missions in the Middle East, as well as increased federal regulations, and permission from the EPA for variations in clean air formulas for various parts of the country giving rise to the patchwork of special and unique blends of gasoline? Yes. It was Bush's fault.

What about the recent rise in prices? Is it the fault of pushes for more green energy or strangleholds on the industry? No, it is not. In this respect, Obama’s correct, it is not the fault of the executive branch that gas prices are going up...

It is Congress’ fault. They continue to approve massive overspending by the federal government. I won't get into the blunders by the Fed in all of this, as it really pales in comparison to the more than trillion dollar yearly deficits. You can't spend 15% of the GDP in borrowed money and NOT expect your currency to take a beating on the market. Sure, by comparison to other screwed up currencies (by governments equally diving into the land of insanity) it's not as dramatic as it could have been...

But this MUST stop. We MUST stop the overspending, or every single one of us will be robbed of all our savings by the massive drain of inflated currencies.

And don't even imagine that electing some RINO like Romney will fix this - remember that Barack Obama voted for the FIRST bailout and the foundation of the first stimulus. Congress is where the buck stops.. They allow every check to be written in this country, and put us deeper and deeper into debt. Don't let them pawn this off onto Obama, put their feet to the fire too.

What they are doing just isn't going to get any clearer, America. It's not like it's a big secret.

The 0bama-Democrat-RINO (Progressive) "No Domestic Energy Policy!"

• No domestic drilling.
• No new refineries.
• No new nuke plants.
• No new dams for hydro-electric.
• No coal.
• No shale.
• Deplete the SPR.
• Let Iran get nukes.
• Let Iraq fall to Iranian domination.
• No Canadian tar sands oil.
• Loan billions to Brazil's Petrobras for offshore drilling in Brazil.
• Carbon caps and taxes to make what's left sky rocket in price.
• Drilling moratorium in the GoM driving the oil industry out of the U.S.
• Kill the Keystone Pipeline Project.

It Begins… First Oil Rig Relocates From Gulf to Foreign Waters

"As a result of the uncertainties surrounding the offshore drilling moratorium, we are actively seeking international opportunities to keep our rigs fully employed," Dickerson said. "We greatly regret the loss of U.S. jobs that will result from this rig relocation."

It is not just Gulf operations that are being effected either.

Let's not leave the refineries out.

Then there are the land-based oil leases.

"A federal judge on Wednesday questioned Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's justification for canceling 77 drilling leases sold by the Bush administration around national parks in Utah."

I assume if the prices go down it’s also Bush’s fault.

[goat granny]

Reagan inherited a mess from Carter and his policies. It only took him a couple of years to get interet down from over 16% and no gas lines to fill you cars tank....Based on history, its not Bushes fault but Obama’s policy’s....idiots...
