President Barack Obama on Wednesday dismissed oil as "the fuel of the past" as he made an unapologetic election-year pitch for his alternative energy industry policies and sniped at Republicans over painfully high gasoline prices.
"They get out on the campaign trail—and you and I both know there are no quick fixes to this problem—but listening to them, you'd think there were," he said at a Daimler Truck manufacturing plant in the battleground state of North Carolina.
Obama said that because the United States accounts for 20 percent of the world's consumption of oil but has only 2 percent of its petroleum reserves, "we're not going to be able to just drill our way out of the problem of high gas prices. Anybody who tells you otherwise either doesn't know what they're talking about or they aren't telling you the truth."
"Here is the truth. If we are going to control our energy future, then we've got to have an all-of-the-above strategy," he said in his speech. "We've got to develop every source of American energy—not just oil and gas, but wind power and solar power, nuclear power, biofuels."

This guy is just plain stupid. He doesn’t realize how many uses there are for oil. Just plain dumb!!
Well gee Mr President how is that battery and solar panel thingy working for you? Do you think your pond scum theory of energy production will work better?
It is certainly clear to every informed and impartial observer of the world scene that the award of the Nobel Prize for Economics is long overdue for President Barack Obama. With this latest, courageous observation, I will stake my personal reputation that he is now rightfully due the award of the Nobel Prize for Physics.

So proclaims our new Fuehrer.
We will all be required to Heil! or be hauled off and beaten by the brownshirt union thugs.
That's why stupid people vote for him, they can relate...
Obama’s worldview and whole way of thinking is the stuff of the past.
Yeah, and the left never blamed high gas prices on Bush. Hell, they blamed him for Katrina, high gas prices, and 9/11. You and I know, Mr. President that you’re a bigger liar then Bill Clinton

DANG! GMTA but you thought faster...
Even the Hubble space telescope has whale oil in it!
If they can convert bullshit to fuel, The Messiah could be the biggest source EVER DISCOVERED!
And this is why Obama wants gas prices to be over $10 bucks a gallon, he wants everyone to buy that piece of junk Volt..this is the progressive utopian society that they have always wanted.
I cannot even fathom the level of idiocy of anyone willing to make such a statement.
...and notice the oft mentioned replacement. I’m half speechless. I thought Bill Clinton was bad for the country. Holy crapola absolutely unbelievable that anyone with a brain would give this guy voice on any subject, much less cast a vote for his reelection for president.
