GEE...Kill the Economy EVEN FASTER!!!! Whoppeee.....
Change that you can believe in....Since that is all you will have left
They are insane. Go ahead and do it and see what the wrath of the U.S. citizens do to you.
Odumbo cannot be that dumb.
These people are so sick.
What do they think led to our current recession! sheesh!
But I’ll make a killing on “When Obama was inaugurated gas was only $1.65” bumper stickers.
The lines of battle are drawn. War is not yet declared, but near.
$8 a gallon? Won’t have change either.
What are American’s going to do? They never get off their duffs and complain, most sit back, say so what and give me another beer.
If Obama thinks he can win re-election with high gas prices..he is nuttier than I think.
High gas prices hurt those most who make the least
Well, he had his Saudi friends lower gas prices right after Sarah’s Drill Baby Drill came along. Now that he’s nearly slithered into the WH, prices are starting to go back up.
The Saudis couldn’t risk having oil being pumped into the lower 48 by Palin.
Is it time yet?
Wow they’re going to raise taxes? How...not surprising at all.
I’ll be interested to see if their blaming of big oil flies or not...
Time to dig in.
Not time to lock & load yet.
How many MPH do you think the average peddler could get on those 3 or 4 wheel bibycles?
I highly doubt Obama will reverse position. First, on the surface, these are badly needed jobs and relatively 'easy' oil that smaller exploration companies need in order to survive. Secondly, and more importantly, American oil means royalties on every barrel of oil pumped, which Obama will desperately want to have, and thirdly, and most important, TAXES! Obama is going to raise taxes on gasoline as high as he can, don't be surprised if those taxes reach levels of taxation seen in Europe.
Obama desperately needs revenues, and oil is a very available source right now, along with cigarettes and alcohol.
Obama will want as much American oil as he can get. If Mid east oil demand increases, opec will try get those prices back up as high as possible, which will reduce the level of taxation Obama may otherwise be able to generate on cheaper world oil prices. Keeping demand on mid-east and Russian oil low is in his best interests.
I don’t think so this time.
This is not business as usual.
