Remember when the MSM mocked Michele Bachmann for saying that if she became president gas would fall to under $2/gallon? Well guess what? Ping to Today show list.
Plenty of FReepers joined in on that fun.
We need energy indepenance...OPEC funds Islamic terrorism and we should break from it permanently...
I paid 1.99 last night. Oklahoma City.
you would think just by blind luck or the law of averages that Obama would be right SOME time ... but nope. President Obola is wrong 100% of the time.
In fact liberals are so wrong, so consistently, you can pretty much depend on it.
They say it will get hotter... bet on it getting colder. They say there will be more hurricanes... bet on their being none. They say the polar ice caps will melt... bet on a new ice age!
Looks to me like Obama and current prices clearly demonstrated the Office of the President does NOT control gasoline prices.
It wasn’t $2; it was $1.80. And she ‘promised’ it, if she were president.
That is quite different than letting the market determine the price.
Bachmann’s pledge was nothing less than overt pandering in an attempt to get a bump in her compaign. Most saw through it.
At the time Michelle said this, fracking was in its infancy. What she was referring to was probably the following measures:
1-Open ANWR for drilling.
2-Authorize drilling and exploration leases on other public lands.
3-Open both coasts to offshore drilling.
4-Defund, or at least defang EPA.
5-Approve Keystone pipeline.
6-Allow infrastructure for exporting LNG to be built.
Of course, all of these have been prohibited by the current adminstration. If the next president can preside over getting these things done, then, along with hydraulic fracturing, we would have cheap energy for years to come.
Too bad, because I think she would have made a great President.
