Obama’s ‘Truth Team’ Wrong on GOP Donor
Yahoo ^ | 6/1/12 | FactCheck.org

Posted on 06/02/2012 12:19:43 PM PDT by NormsRevenge

The Obama “Truth Team” blames GOP donor Thomas O’Malley’s 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 company’s 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.

Obama’s ‘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 Nixon’s “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,” O’Malley told Politico. ..

Obama campaign, April 20: Thomas O’Malley is the CEO of PBF Energy, America’s 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.

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.

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.

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.
