I don't remember that talk of 'transitioning to the future' during the campaign: We are watching a man imploding on the job as he tries to explain outrageous gas prices

President Biden is a walking "gaffe machine." You can't put him behind a microphone because God only knows what he is going to say. We understand now why they hid him in his basement in 2020 with infrequent trips to the ice cream shop. It's tough to make a gaffe when you buy ice cream unless you order a pizza.

This is from the current overseas trip:

"When it comes to the gas prices, we're going through an INCREDIBLE transition".

Yes, that gasoline pump that goes from $20 to $30 to $40 to $50 and $60.... it's just a transition to a future where we are using green energy and no more fossil fuels. In other words, this is what we need go through to arrive at the green energy paradise. What happens to your family budget before we make it to paradise? Don't worry, Joe is on it.

So gasoline prices are part of a plan? I thought that it was Putin's fault. What's going on?

We are watching a man imploding on the job. He has no idea of what to say about the # 1 problem in the country -- the price of filling up your tank.

So let me give President Biden a word of advice, courtesy of Diana Furchtgott-Roth , a lady who knows energy:

If Biden really wants to cut inflation, he should begin by reversing his policies on domestic oil and natural gas production. Energy prices have risen by 30 percent over the past year; these prices are set by expectations of future production. That is why oil prices rise when meteorologists predict that a hurricane will turn toward the Gulf of Mexico, before it has destroyed any oil rigs. The United States, the world’s largest oil and gas producer, has demonstrated the ability to influence the price of oil.

The president could lower the price of a barrel of oil by $10 to $20 with new energy policies. Yet on Biden’s first day in office, he reduced oil and gas production by banning offshore drilling, expanding the boundaries of national monuments, placing a moratorium on leasing activities in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and revoking the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, which would have brought Canadian oil to U.S. refineries for processing into gasoline and heating oil.

Obama 2.0
Remember when he said high gas prices were good? Demand destruction via high prices. Same ol. Same ol.

Everything Obama wanted to do he is now doing with a dummy taking the blame

[Bon of Babble]

But Biden got 81 million votes in the cleanest, fairest election in American history.

At least that’s what the media keep telling us.

So this must be what America wants, right?

The gas pumps cut off at $100 when I try to fill up my pickup.

Biden said we are going to transition from fossil fuels during the campaign and I believe during the debates.

[no-to-illegals]

And the lamestream media will be and is being paid for their support via campaign cash

[Opinionated Blowhard]

In fairness to Slow Joe, he probably doesn’t remember what he said yesterday, much less on the campaign trail.

“God only knows what he is going to say.”

I doubt that. Since Bidet is Godless, I doubt that the MAN upstairs would know what pig face would be about to say.

RE: Biden said we are going to transition from fossil fuels during the campaign and I believe during the debates.

Oh, OK. Did he mention that transitioning includes banning oil and gas exploration and distribution in the USA to make the price of these higher?

[ClearCase_guy]

It’s really the classic Marxist notion of “immiseration” — people don’t like change, but you make them miserable (because “Putin raised your gas prices”) then people will welcome a fundamental transformation of society: “I will own nothing? And I will be happy? That’s sounds great!!”

[PMAS]

Yes he did - Trump talked about it during rallies in PA.

All of the dems during their debate said they were going after oil companies and wanted to ban fracking.

"So gasoline prices are part of a plan? I thought that it was Putin's fault. What's going on?"

A most astute question. What's going on is the destruction of the United States. Right now instead of looking at Uvalde Texas, people should be looking at the evil shit going down in Davos.

[joshua c]

he didnt say anything about a smooth transition

they want hardship so people will look to FEDGOV for relief

[gibsonguy]

“Everything Obama wanted to do he is now doing with a dummy taking the blame“

Exactly. It really is that simple.

[joshua c]

you will own nothing and be happy.......

.....OR ELSE!!!!!!

[joshua c]

yep

good ol’ joe is the fall guy

[snoringbear]

I I’ve read that pumps are being reconfigured for $10 per gal and higher gas and diesel prices. I recall when they were reconfigured for $1.00 > $9.99 prices. Think that was during the Arab embargo in the seventies. Who woulda thought todays prices 🤬
