“Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe,” said Steven Chu — the man Barack Obama would ultimately tap to be energy secretary — in September 2008. He was explaining to The Wall Street Journal that higher energy prices are the centerpiece of the Left’s energy overhaul. Well, I don’t know if they’ve figured out the Euro-boost yet, but we are halfway to Vienna.
Now, while I’m sure Barack Obama would love it if gas prices declined until November 6, 2012, there’s every reason to believe he shares Chu’s sentiments. And if the fact that he hired such a man in the first place isn’t enough for you, consider his campaign-trail implication that he wouldn’t have a problem with four-dollar-a-gallon gas (hey, it won’t cramp his lifestyle. Golf, anyone?). Consider also that he’s quite willing to subordinate the satisfying of energy needs to symbolic environmental deeds. For example, in 2008, he told the San Francisco Chronicle that his policies would bankrupt the traditional coal industry and said “Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket[emphasis added].” It’s amazing what comes out of his mouth — even on the campaign trail — off Teleprompter.
Given this attitude, it’s not surprising that oil rigs, denied permits to drill by the Obama administration, have been leaving the Gulf of Mexico for foreign shores. And don’t expect to see them back anytime soon, either. After all, moving a Walmart-size rig is no small feat, and not all countries have a national death wish that causes the afflicted to kill the golden goose like ghetto criminals who ensure that businesses will leave their neighborhoods.

They are only upset if high gas prices affect their elections/reelections.
“Anybody who believes Democrats are upset about high gas prices is naïve.
They are only upset if high gas prices affect their elections/reelections.”
Couldn’t agree more.
I have never really bought into too many conspiracy theories. Now, after covid and all I’ve seen, I have to contain myself to keep from seeing conspiracies everywhere, while acknowledging that there may well be conspiracies everywhere.
Some day we’ll have to take the money and heartache out of their hides.
May 9, 2011, but good to review for context.
Also anybody that thinks obama is not directly involved in all that’s going on right now needs to wake up......his stink is all over it.
Many think Zero is the REAL pResident...
“Also anybody that thinks obama is not directly involved in all that’s going on right now needs to wake up......his stink is all over it”.
That’s right. Obama is as putrid and as evil as anyone who has ever lived.
It’s his 3rd term.....no doubt about it
No one believed DJT when he said electing FJB would lead to $7 gas. They thought that was just one of his “nutty” ideas. The man is Nostradamus!
In order to have Obama era $7 gas it will have to be $9 today.
“Also anybody that thinks obama is not directly involved in all that’s going on right now needs to wake up......his stink is all over it”.
Eric Trump was just on the Howie Carr Show saying just that!
It’s actually pretty obvious...at least to me.
Among other things brandon’s paying Obama back for making him VP.
.
osama obama, pedojoe and hitlery are the happiest people in the world and can’t wait for $10 / gallon gasoline. They are giving high fives to one another and loving Americans suffering
I do, Biden is a figure head!
So, they installed a ukranian deep state in 2014, the same year obama defunded hyperviralization, aka, gain of function, in the us as too dangerous.
Anothe 4 years of Russia, Russia, Russia to keep them from being wiped out in the elections.
There isn’t ONE politician who has to personally adjust their own finances to compensate for these price hikes..
THEY don’t have to worry - WE are paying for their lifestyles.
AND we have to pay for our with what’s left over…
