Obama Touts Energy Taxes To Fight Global Warming

“The countries that are most efficient in energy use, not only do they not subsidize energy — in fact, they tax energy use,” Obama said. “So you look like — in a country like Norway, which produces a lot of oil, but gasoline there is still $6 or $7 a gallon, which in liters — who wants to do a liter conversion for me?”

“Anyway, it’s very expensive,” Obama added.

“And we’ve doubled fuel-efficiency standards on cars,” he continued. “So in a few years, by the middle of the next century, by 2025, you won’t be able to sell a car in the United States unless it is delivering twice as much mileage for every gallon of gas.”

"... who wants to do a liter conversion for me?"

"...by the middle of the next century, by 2025..."

OMG! Can this asshat be any more ignorant for being the smartest, most brilliant rotus we've ever had. What an embarrassment.

If Washington drives the price of gas to 7 bucks,you won’t be able to find an unoccupied lamp post in DC.

[Parmy]

Well, if he is so good at making the seas recede, then he ought to be able to wave his had and warm up this polar vortex. Not!

“So in a few years, by the middle of the next century, by 2025, you won’t be able to sell a car in the United States unless it is delivering twice as much mileage for every gallon of gas.”

So the government is going to regulate car sales by
mileage? They never stop.

Headline: Liberals to get increased mileage from
centuries by cutting them down to 50 years,
chocolate ration to increase from 20 oz to 10 oz.

The China deal is a suicide pact and Obama has agreed to jump first. Who thinks China will follow Obama over the ledge?

[Mike Darancette]

Has Obama had a stroke? This just incoherent.

:... by 2025, you won’t be able to sell a car in the United States unless it is delivering twice as much mileage for every gallon of gas.”

He wants us all driving golf carts since that is the vehicle he is most familiar with.

[jospehm20]

What a homo.

hey Obama....there’s 100 years in a century dumbass!

[spokeshave]

Well, if he is so good at making the seas recede, then he ought to be able to wave his had and warm up this polar vortex

"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow, and our planet began to heal.

Welcome King Barack "Canute" Obama the Great.....

...Obama issues an Executive Order to the Sun...

....to increase it's magnetic field....

and make a good crop of sunspots before elections in 2016....

(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades.

The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age....and lasted 400 years.

Good luck surviving with less electricity and GE modified seeds.

Who is in charge of counting lamp posts in D.C.? We need to get an accurate count.

[ClearCase_guy]

The accurate count is: “not enough”.

[Mouton]

And this asshat made these comments 7000 or so miles from the US mainland. What a turd.

This guy is comparing the US to Norway now? Wow. His, and the jerks in DC, see everything from the perspective of inside the beltway. Those in NYC, and most of the rest of the big city slums drive little. Take them outside their slums into anything vast like say Texas or Montana and they would be lost. I recall one time when I got a call from our DC HQ asking me how were things on the coast. My office was in Fort Worth Tx. I said we were about 400miles from the gulf of Mexico. Next comment I got was, I thought you were on the Pacific Coast.

So what the heck is the US government doing to cut its carbon foot print ? It is the largest business in America and has one of the largest carbon foot prints on the planet. How about working on your own house for a change Obama.

[TruthWillWin]

More of the carbon tax scheme.

[sanjuanbob]

hey Obama....there’s 100 years in a century dumbass!

What he meant to say was, “in the next decade by 2020...”

[lavaroise]

Sure, efficiency with free Obama phone and gas...

[sheana]

Bull. They’ll gripe, moan, wring their hands, and then go on about their business of trying to survive.

[lavaroise]

These two face two sides speaking idiots first attack companies for price gouging, but then find themselves ok to ration people.

Hey zero, flash news, capitalism drives efficiency because people do not buy from price gougers and find competition elsewhere.

Government rationing is a totally different beast and language of inefficient distribution and racket.

[crusher2013]

The best, luckiest thing that every happened to Obama was fracking and thus lower energy costs.

It is the only thing holding up the economy right now.

But he wants higher energy prices...

No one is that foolish... No One.
