Newt Gingrich Speech to California Republican Convention [46 minutes]
I’m hoping for $10/gallon by October.
It’s really fun to watch the msm blocking for Obama on this. Last time prices were this high Bush was in office and it was disaster-news 24/7. Remember?
Now...it mostly isn’t being talked about...and when it is...it’s “just one of those things” that can’t be helped. Tune in the big network nightly news one night next week...what a laugh.

I’m all for $20 per gallon gas for a few months if that’s what it takes to remove the nobama criminal gang from government. I’d even pay the gas charge for the vehicles to take them to Leavenworth.
“Gasoline is not as big a portion of your bill as many other things, but it’s the one that hits you in the face,” said Sam Popkin, a professor of political science at the University of California San Diego. “You may spend more money on butter and beer, but you don’t notice it the same way.”Anyone who spends more on butter and beer than they do on gasoline is a big fat lush.And beyond that, the president hasn’t banned husbanding cows for butter or planting hops for beer. But he has done all he legally can - and then some - to prevent people from drilling for oil to make gasoline.
Spiking AGAIN???
They went DOWN?
Where was I?? Musta missed it—still goin’ up as I see it.
How fantastic!
I want the MSM to tell us how "pontificating" Newt is boring while Obama is a vision of genius with his lecturing! Ha!
$20 a gallon for a few months? Civil unrest will occur long before the $20 a gallon mark.
Do you realise what food prices would be if gasoline was $20 a gallon?
YES!! Just like Americans have to do every week (and not more often if they're lucky) while Obama's Energy Sec Chu doesn't own a "fossil fuel burning machine" or any other form of "selfish" personal transport.
Yet the MSM media says Newt is grandstanding by making his on-site energy videos.
But the Islamic Marxist in Chief will blame on Bush and all the open mouth drooling lib zombie voters will believe it.
I sure do.
This is all about diminishing U.S. national security and shrinking our economy. The goal: Global government. A weak America can not interfere.
The only problem with that is that there are a lot of people who would go down for the count after only one or two months of that.
Too many people are already on the razor's edge and would get so jammed up it would take them years to recover. The additional problems it would cause would mean whoever replaces Barry wouldn't be able to hit the ground running and due the price impact rippling through everything for months to come. Better that gas prices hang around between $4 & $5 with quick spikes and fluctuations that threaten to go higher from time to time. That would get people to face the fact that if Barry is reelected there's no where to go but down, and down rapidly.
More power plants going off line and electricity shortages as cold weather settles in will be enough to convince all but those who are isolated by their wealth and/or blinded by their ideology that there's no way any alternatives are going to help within the foreseeable future when they know they couldn't even recharge their electric car if you gave them one. Others who can't pay their utility bills without letting something else slip will be on the same wavelength. So, worse, but not $10 a gallon worse.
JMHO
A spate of stagflation would immediately erase Obama's popularity lead and make him highly vulnerable just like President Carter was in 1980.
““Gasoline is not as big a portion of your bill as many other things, but it’s the one that hits you in the face,” said Sam Popkin, a professor of political science at the University of California San Diego. “You may spend more money on butter and beer, but you don’t notice it the same way.” “
Who said this??
he's pretty much there already, but a dose of super high prices this year will be the final nail in the coffin.
I meant: what kind of idiot would said this??
“The writer forgets to mention that candidate Obama blamed Bush”
The writer forgot on purpose. It’s that selective memory all liberals seem to suffer from.
