Obama says little short-term help for gas prices (Obama: I just don't feel your pain)

The president didn't offer a solution for people who have to drive for work, have very long commutes where there is no mass transit options, people who live in rural communities, people with no down payments and bad credit or the working poor. citizen5408.com

No need to say that many of us would like to trade in a President.

This guy is an elitist bastard.

He acts like the president of a third world country - which makes sense because that is his goal for America.

I sure hope that is on video somewhere. It ought to make an interesting inclusion in a 2012 commercial.

I think what he is trying to say is: “Let them ride scooters”.

You’re so right, we need a trade-in, big-time. I didn’t even see it.

If you buy a new vehicle, you help his buddies at the UAW.

Win-win for Zero.

Lose-lose for Whitey.

Is this for real? For someone who pretends to care about the poor, he’s sure quick to throw them under the bus for renewable energy. Hopefully, they notice.

As much as I like your title, it ain’t the real title.

Rules are rules.

and you're only getting 8 miles a gallon, you know

Interesting that he should throw out that number, since that's precisely the mileage his limousine gets.

Dick Morris (I know, I know) said this morning that high gas prices a year from now could be Obama’s downfall.

"You might want to think about a trade-in."

We plan to make a trade-in, on November 6th, 2012.

We have opnly had a “Present” since 20 January, 2009. We will not have a president until we throw this gas bag on the scrapheap of history on 20 January, 2013.

In the meantime, I suggest that we replace the Cadillac limo that this Narcissist-In-Chief rides in, with a Chevy Volt. Also replace the 747 that serves as AF-1 with a high highly unreliable AirBus. Perhaps we can upgrade prior to 2013, then.
