ABC News Reports Highest March Gas Prices; Stephanopoulos Giddy Over Possible Drop
Newsbusters ^ | March 20, 2012 | P.J. Gladnick

Wheee!!!

Break out the champagne! Put on your party hats! ABC News has announced that we now have the highest gasoline prices ever for March.

Huh? So why the celebrations? Because to watch joyful GMA host George Stephanopoulos in the video below the fold you would think we should all be happy because despite the gloomy news about the high gasoline prices, they MIGHT come down soon. First the harsh reality about current gasoline prices as reported by Zunaira Zaki in this ABC News business blog:

The average price of a gallon of regular is now $3.87, the highest recorded price in March. The average price is up nearly 4 cents from a week ago, and over 30 cents from a year ago, according to the Department of Energy, as more drivers face gas prices of $4 a gallon or more across the country.

Please read the whole story so you can appreciate the incredibly surreal nature of Stephanopoulos going giddy over POSSIBLE future gas price drops despite reports of the highest ever gas prices for this month. Oh, and you WON'T believe the caption GMS used during this report. You have to SEE it to believe it.

Do you know when the G S tape was taken? He was on last maybe Thursday, and was all excited over gas prices dropping. Then I drove to work, where the signs were all edging to $4/gallon. I thought, he must be on drugs. It was very strange.

FYI. I think you might appreciate the unintentional humor of one George Stephanopoulos. I gotta wonder if the DUmmies are celebrating along with him.

All I know is that his video was on the SAME page as the ABC News business blog report about the record high gas prices for this month.

It’s not surreal at all. Just as Steffie knew about the contraception mandate ahead of time, he knows Baraq is getting ready to pull something out of his Obama that will lower prices.

It is a disgrace that Stepawhatshisface, a former Clinton insider is the chief correspondent for ABC News.

There was a time, not too many years ago when a legitimate news organization would not hire a political hack like this.

ABCBSNBCNNPRPBS = Pravda.

"I gotta wonder if the DUmmies are celebrating along with him."

Not much use for gasoline at the Occupy camps.

Now if the price of RID goes up, watch out!

Did you catch the screen caption that went with the story? So “HOW MUCH WILL YOU SAVE AT THE PUMP?”

That’s OK with me. The only way this could go even worse for Obama will be if all his minions in the press first set the expectation that prices will drop.

I can only think of 2 things he could do to accomplish this.

1) Throw his enviroweenie friends under the bus and reverse himself on the Keystone Pipeline and expanded drilling.

1) Turn Eric Holder loose to launch a witch hunt against Grrrrrreeeedy Speculators and throw a few of them in jail. This will collapse the futures market, which might lower prices just long enough to get him re-elected (after which we are all gonna need our bicycles)

ABC “News” is NOTHING but a propaganda arm of the regime. They have shown this again and again.

Once suspect that when their “reporters” get to work...they first go to their fax machines and blue berries to get that day’s DNC talking points.

What a joke they have become.

“So far high gas prices haven’t hurt the consumers.”

Reminds me of the joke about the guy always hitting himself in the head with a hammer and asked why he did it, said “because it feels so good when I stop”.

Don’t gas prices typically rise the closer we get to summer?

They close down refineries to change from heating oil to gasoline for the driving summer season. Its a shortage of gasoline

They have to use a cleaner fuel in summer that I believe costs about 20 cents a gallon more.

Potential commercial that should be repeated over and over..in this election is the average retail price in the U.S.was $1.61 per gallon when Obama was sworn in as President in January 2009.
