Chu: I would give myself an ‘A’ for energy prices
The Daily Caller ^ | 03/20/2012 | Mathew Boyle

Energy Secretary Steven Chu told a House panel Tuesday that he’d give himself top marks when asked to grade his policies’ effects on energy prices. Rep. Darrell Issa, the chairman of the House committee on Oversight and Government Reform, asked President Obama’s top energy official if he’d grade himself with an “A minus” on “controlling the cost of gasoline at the pump.”

Chu responded by saying he’d give himself a better grade than that.

“The tools we have at our disposal are limited, but I would I say I would give myself a little higher in that since I became Secretary of Energy, I’ve been doing everything I can to get long-term solutions,” Chu said.

Chu would give himself the top grade on gas prices despite that fact that the average price for a gallon of gas just hit $3.87 – the highest ever recorded in the month of March, according to ABC News.

Surprisingly, I would give him an “A” too.

That would be “A”-hole, by way of clarification.

Obama’s State of the Union address, that the future is in battery operated cars. He said that, by 2015, a million of these cars will be on American roads. So he put your money where his mouth is and gave GM $240 million to develop the flop that is the Chevy Volt.

He then gave a Korean company $150 million for the dangerous and inefficient batteries that went in these cars. Batteries that would last for less than 40 miles before needing 8 hours to recharge.

He set a new record:

Chu would give himself the top grade on gas prices despite because of the fact that the average price for a gallon of gas just hit $3.87 – the highest ever recorded in the month of March, according to ABC News.

Doesn't setting a new record deserve an "A?" If prices had hit $5.00 a gallon, he would have given himself an A+, I'm sure.

An “A” would be correct if that were the next lower grade after “Z-”.

So unreal, I had to bookmark it. This should be a warning that something is seriously corrupt and amiss.

Yeah, definitely A+ work there, my fine crazy looking Obama Tool:

I hope the Republicans run ads showing video-taped statements of this super incompetent lunatic and his vile boss's statements 24/7 until November.

The question remains, though, as to whether the misery is the goal,

or if they truly believe in that utopia on the other side of the misery.

True communists do believe in the utopia, and justify any and all misery inducing policies that will lead there.

However, 0bama has another factor playing into his behavior - he HATES America.

A rubber room and Thorazine seem to be called for.

Too easy and he'll like it. A fully charged cattle prod up his arse would make a more direct point about the uses of energy like electricity.
