FUBO!
$10 would be even better. It would make Obama windmills and solar panels more competitive. Obama could then usher in the age of Fred Flintstone and Barney. Liberals if given everything they want, will devolve us back to the Stone Age.
Obama lies, whole economy totally dies.
Impeach him now.
This has nothing to do with the oil spill.
At this point, it’s about diverting attention away from the spill even more so than passing his agenda. But he’ll try to hit two birds with one stone here.
Yeah... libs are truly clueless.
Lets try $7 a gallon gas, with 10% unemployment, 17% underemployment. People still facing layoffs. Record foreclosures and banks tightening lines of credit. All the while the threat of a double dip staring us and Europe in the face.
Yeah... go ahead, lets try $7 a gallon gas.
the left must really want a revolution in this country.
Sooo....3-4.00/gal is the ammt of effective taxation the Obama administration things it can extort from us...to continue to prop up the single most financially damaging and unsound entity in the history of the world/!!!
Yeah, good luck with that. The $4/gallon we had 2 years ago helped to push us into recession. Anything over $5 will guarantee a double dip, with the dip being a lot worse than before. $7/gal gas would guarantee a depression.
And America can't afford $7-a-gallon gas.
Peak Oil is going to provide $7 gas by 2020 no matter what kind of legislation is passed.
Despite Joe Barton's apologies, even the Stupid Party was smart enough to figure that out.
"Drill Baby Drill" is off the table no matter what.
Peak Oil hits us sooner instead of later.
Time to get off our butts and build more electric passenger rail systems.
Those little battery powered Obamamobiles won't be worth crap on the Interstates, especially during winter in the cold northern states.
His base and the people who only pay attention to politics when they are affected in some way have to feel real pain AND blame obama for causing it.
The secret to liberal/progressive success is picking an enemy to blame for their screwing something up and/or us over and have people buy into it.
The msm is always at the ready to spread "the official story" and the republicans, GWB especially, have been their remarkably reliable and adept kicking dummies. And here we are.
I sense the tide is turning a bit, but is it too little, too late? The danger of what obama is doing and the pain that's coming is real.
“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste”
leads to
“ends justify the means”
leads to
“anythign is ok so long as its for the good of the people”
which leads to
“if you have no crisis, create one.”
I have a better solution: cut off water, food and energy to DC. Let’s see if senators can grow turnips on their desks. Hey, Michelle! Hope you canned lots of green beans and burgers.
By hamstringing domestic drilling, we are in a position of weakness again. We will be dependant on oil from the middle east, venezuela and Brazil. ozero bowed to the saudis, yukked it up with chavez and is actively involved in funding Brazil’s oil industry with our tax dollars. $7 gas? who knows. Could be $20 gas. It will all depend on how much our suppliers want to gouge us. Whatever the case, everything will get more expensive. Groceries will be a big one because of the price of diesel. I hope enough Americans figure out that we have been sold out by the guy who plays president on tv. Hurry up November.
There goes any sort of economy we have left. A gallon of milk will be what? Six dollars a gallon. Bread will be four dollars a loaf? I know you aren’t suppose to wish your life away but BRING ON NOVEMBER. I also think the GOP better start growing some (sorry if that is crass) and start coming out and blasting O. Start acting like leaders. Start doing some press conferences and defend your beliefs. Have they all been neutered or what?!! Infuriating.
That will really put the finish on the economy. And is this BEFORE the 50 cent tax the dems in congress want?
If this guy isn’t voted out of office, he should be thrown out by popular revolt.
Nothing less than the future of this nation is at stake!
You know, it’s insane plans like this that are the best proof so far that Obama and the rats don’t plan on playing by the rules in the upcoming elections. You can’t pull off something like this and expect to win in election year.
You know, if more people were rational, a president who’s goals required disaster would be kicked out of office by now...and I mean literally.
