Everything is going “according to plan”...

Official leftist dogma is that gas prices must go up.

“So the question becomes: Will the media ignoring the rise in gas prices be able to keep that from becoming a major factor in people’s minds over the economy and Obama’s role in it? “

So, get a free blog and start blogging before they silence both your free speech and the internet—like the old saying, “don’t let ‘em **** on ya, open yer mouth!”

But for the regime, four bucks or higher, that's exactly what they want!

"To meet the Obama administration’s targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, some researchers say, Americans may have to experience a sobering reality: gas at $7 a gallon. To reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the transportation sector 14 percent from 2005 levels by 2020, the cost of driving must simply increase, according to a forthcoming report by researchers at Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. The 14 percent target was set in the Environmental Protection Agency’s budget for fiscal 2010."

60-70% of the economy is “discretionary spending” ...that is money “leftover” after essentials and parasitic demands of bureaucracy. As the price of essentials rises, that available for the 60-70% declines.

Historically, the incentive for the bureaucracy to work to keep the essentials low has been the unemployment number. to keep unemployment low, increase the available cash for discretionary spending.

the present crop of Dems WANTS high unemployment. they intend to harness the unhappy unemployed against the rest of the country to take by force everything else that bureaucratic realities and constraints have historically limited. To get their they need more unemplyment.

This is profoundly malignant.

Rush needs to (tuh?) learn to (tuh) speak our English correctly.

The cheeky, ignorant, Kenyan bastard is even worse at pronunciation.

The media can ignore the economic numbers, but they cannot hide the unemployment numbers and the price of gas from the un-washed masses. Being employed and paying for gas is where we live.

Rush really stretched things here. obozo didn’t say “I don’t mind the high price” in that transcript. Come on, Rush - you know better than that.

I have never watched the show that is mentioned here where obozo talked about gasoline prices. I caught something either on CNN or FOX a week ago and he very definitely said - I AM NOT GOING TO WORRY ABOUT GASOLINE PRICES! That’s the video that needs to be found - or the transcript. I remember it vividly as I sent emails to friends/family immediately thereafter.

there is no limit to what he will ignore; and when it gets to a certain point he will demonstrate his remedy for that too...

I wonder if reduced domestic drilling doesn’t also play an increased role in the price of gasoline regardless of the price per barrel of oil?

What I mean is if it is being imported, do you have tarrifs on the oil and also smaller margins for the domestic oil/gas companies because they didn’t drill that oil, so the price per gallon of gas has to be higher.

I know as a coffee service that does it’s own roasting, I can charge less than if I had to buy the roasted coffee from somewhere else. Just saying that with Obama’s war on domestic oil production, comparing our current oil prices to the ones a year or two ago is like comparing apples to oranges.

The Obamas HATE the prosperity of the U. S. and of Americans, and here’s a simple explanation of the dynamics of this hate:

Our prosperity, and our ability and propensity to earn prosperity, create more people who are wealthy or moderately well to do. In turn, that means that the wealthy Obamas are LESS SPECIAL than they would be if nearly all Americans were poor and needy.

The Obamas CRAVE being in an extremely small group of people who are considered to be special and above the masses of commoners.

Yep—high energy prices is the gambit to drive his “green economy” initiative.

This is another case where government intervention (drilling ban) creates problems that it takes more government intervention (raising gas-mileage mandates, dishing out electric car subsidies) to solve!
