The Obama Truth Team blames GOP donor Thomas OMalleys refinery company for helping to drive gas prices up this year by curtailing gas production. But the facts are the exact opposite. The Energy Information Administration credits PBF Energy for preventing a price spike in the Northeast this year by opening a refinery in Delaware partially offsetting the loss of production from two other Philadelphia-area refineries that have closed.
The truth team also claimed that one event a March fire at the companys Delaware refinery directly contributed to a spike in gas prices. But that fire was under control in about an hour and had a minimal impact on production despite published speculation that it might hurt production and affect gasoline prices.
Obamas Enemies List?
We came across these bogus claims while following the name-calling going on between the Obama campaign and GOP donors .. Some including Democratic pollster Doug Schoen compared it to Richard Nixons enemies list.
In a May 31 Politico story, headlined Mega-donors: Quit picking on us, one of those donors claimed that the Obama campaign got his brief history wrong. I think somebody screwed up, OMalley told Politico. ..
Obama campaign, April 20: Thomas OMalley is the CEO of PBF Energy, Americas fourth largest petroleum refining company, and gave $100,000 to Restore Our Future. Not only did PBF energy help drive gas prices up this year by curtailing gas production, but it spilled 6.6 million gallons of oil at a refinery in New Jersey. ..

But what about the claim that PBF is helping to drive gas prices up this year? .. On more than one occasion, we have found fault with those who blame Obama for high gasoline prices. But is PBF to blame? No.

Can you say “libel,” boys and girls? I thought you could!
Obama has to go
It looks like no one with any real political savy is on the nobama team. Those we hate for good reason like carville, who know how to campaign, are sitting quietly on the sidelines. I smell klintoon revenge in isolating the nobama campaign from those that know how. Of course the arrogant SOB’s Chicago style has POed many dems too, not with pushing hard left, but just like the Jews, Catholic Church and Poland.
Putting the words “obama” and “truth” in the same room should be illegal.
Tell him to hold it until we stop for gas.
The Obama “truth” team doesn’t care what the truth is. All that matters to them is what the “news” media (the Obama propaganda machine) will report.
LOL
I’m in a weird mood today.
Folks, this is YAHOO! actually going to some trouble to call out Barry’s people as liars. The only explanation I can find is that the Clintons have given them the OK to destroy him. She might not even be interested in running, just standing back and watching him go down in flames.
