Obama To Address Soaring Gas Prices [Oh Joy! Another speech!]
Fox Phoenix ^ | 2/22/2012

Posted on 02/22/2012 5:08:50 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

President Barack Obama will deliver a speech on energy and rising gas prices Thursday at the University of Miami, FOX News Channel reported.

White House officials told FOX the president will lay out an "all of the above" approach to the nation's energy security that he has previously outlined and will tout the fact that domestic oil production has risen on his watch while imports have decreased.

Gas prices have continued to climb in recent months, surpassing $4 per gallon in some areas.

Except when vacationing or golfing, Obama only travels to “swing” states.

I wonder how he’s going to sell “The enviromental lobby will go berserk against me if I drill for oil and gas. For that reason we will continue our foreign oil dependence as long as I am President, resulting high gas prices notwithstanding” to the public?

If credit is to be taken in any area, Obama will take it, whether he has earned it or not. Remember, he did say he was a great president. Did a wonderful job of patting himself on the back while fat mama took her 16th government paid vacation in three years! Spend spend spend. That is all these dregs of life know. She did say that we were going to pay for all those years she suffered at our hands.

Your post makes complete sense. Therefore we already know the truth will once more be a casualty in the world according to liberals.

Save gas? OK, Barry, try this:

Get rid of the ethanol and get rid of the crappy winter blend. That should be good for an across the board 10% improvement.

In times like these....Americans will have to cut back for the greater good.

In times like these...Americans will have to pay a greater energy tax to provide gas for the less fortunate.

In times like these...it is prudent that I take over the oil companies for the benefit of all.

Despite the glorious opportunity, the comotose Republican biggies will not even make a noticeable effort to combat the lies in Obama's speech.

They will leave the rebuttal in the hands of Little Miss Mary Katharine Ham who, despite Herculean efforts, will be over-talked and drowned out by Bill O'Rudely and Alan Colmes.

And that will be that.

Anybody want to take a guess at who he will blame. Republicans? The Oil Industry? George W. Bush? The Tea Party? The wealthy 1%? All of the Above?

He’ll probably issue an executive order mandating the oil companies offer free gas to those making under $250,000/yr.

Cut taxes?

Never happen.

What The 0’s more likely to do is announce a brand-new 90% tax on income from those greedy, nasty oil leases.

Steal more money, just about shut down the Bakken overnight and put another 20,000 people out of work.

I really, really wish I could do an /sarc here........

I smell desperation. Will he suspend the 44c per gallon federal tax, or cut it back substantially?

We already know he’s unafraid to cut revenues (payroll tax) because he knows he can print money.

Perfect slight-of-hand maneuver to buy votes now, delay the pain to later.
