The Oil Crisis: How Bad Must It Get Before Obama Chooses to Act?
All Voices ^ | February 26, 2011 | R.G. Yoho

Posted on 02/26/2011 6:45:08 PM PST by Clintons-B-Gone

When it comes to rising oil costs, there are only three options available to us in regards to the president’s handling of the situation:

(1) Perhaps President Obama is an absolute moron, with no concept of how to run a nation’s energy policy.

(2) The president actually wants the country to suffer through another Carter-like gasoline crisis and become like the third-world economy of his beloved Indonesia.

(3) Obama is too busy planning his next family vacation on the country’s credit card, and simply doesn’t care.

America is waiting. Which one is it, Obama? Inquiring minds want to know.

It’s going to get worse before it gets better. Obama probably thinks it would be real ‘cool’ if we all rode bikes.

I think the stated goal was $5/gal, but lmr’s “bikes” comment is probably the preferred choice.

Could be a good idea for a pool.

I say: $10/gal, or $300/bbl.

He wants it to get as bad as it can. He needs chaos to bring about the change he’s promised.

Funny thing is that all he has to do is announce that he’s opening up vast areas to oil and gas production and prices would plummet before a drill head ever touched dirt.

Still waiting for Bill O’Butthole to quit questioning Obie's judgment and start questioning his motives.

Obama wont act because he just doesn’t care or give a damn about average Americans.

That is why tea parties are breaking out all over the country.

Huh?

Has the author been living in a cave for the past year?

It is Obama’s actions that have caused the crisis!

Turning off the spigot in the Gulf of Mexico is just one example, but he is hell bent upon destroying our domestic energy producing capabilities.

He had never hidden that fact from us - it’s just that the blind will not see.

However, we live in an age of YouTube. Eventually, the liberal’s gas tanks will be empty and they’ll need to get to work, too.

At that point, Barry will be lucky to escape to Costa Rica.

Actually I am riding more of my “bike” though its seasonal because its too dangerous riding a motorcycle in Alaska during the winter. And should gas way expensive I have the plans and the materials to make my own ethanol to blend in for my motorcycle.

Its a high compression motor of 1304cc, fuel injected, water cooled and should handle ethanol.

THAT's it.

The worse it gets for the man on the street the better it is for the world from Obama’s radical Marxist perspective.

(4) When an overwhelming majority of Americans are on their knees begging for a socialist solution to save us all.

If the price at the pump reaches 4.50 0r 5.00 a gallon, Obama is finished. His re-election chances will be less than zero probability.

Sounds awesome, can you purchase E85 up there?

Here in the midwest a lot of guys are using it as a cheap substitute for high octane racing gas.

It is clear that nobama hates you, your children, the Constitution, Freedom and America, in general. He wants you to be some sort of serf to his new world order. He is a sick person because his father rejected/abandoned him...as did his socialist mother. His communist grandmother and father raised him, but look how he kept his family away from her in her dieing days. Sick, I say...SICK!

IMO, he'll only act when people begin to question his loyalty. Even then, he'll only try to appear like he's working in OUR interests.

Obviously he wants to make a bunch of money for his friends in Big Oil and Dick Chaney.
