'Unbelievable' Biden won't meet with oil executives: Former Trump economic adviser
https://www.msn.com ^ | 23 June, 2022 | Staff

Posted on 06/23/2022 12:40:30 PM PDT by Red Badger

Former Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Kevin Hassett called out President Biden's unwillingness to meet with oil CEOs at the White House Thursday on lowering record-high gas prices amid his "despicable rhetoric" against the industry on "Mornings with Maria."

KEVIN HASSETT: It's unbelievable that you would have a meeting at the White House with the companies that make the most important product in America right now and have the president not meet with them. You know, clearly what they've decided to do is demonize these guys. You've seen the rhetoric come out of the White House. How despicable it is. You know, we're in a democracy. If you've got like free companies out there providing product that consumers like, you know, then the White House shouldn't be threatening them with the sword of Damocles. And that's what Biden is doing.

The fact that [Biden's] not going to the meeting means that he's probably going to give a speech after the meeting talking about how they all should burn in hell or something. Right. He's declared a verbal war against the oil companies, and he's sending his deputies to talk to them. That's, you know, a terribly Machiavellian move.

My response:

I an effort to make Gasoline more affordable for Americans, we are immediately halting ALL Sales and Deliveries of our products within 200 Miles of Washington DC. This will help Normal American Citizens have a plentiful supply and should help bring prices down

It’s just as well. Thanks to his cognitive decline, Biden probably wouldn’t understand one single word they would be talking about. Which is most likely why his handlers won’t allow such a meeting in the first place.

Biden is a whore and greenies are an important part of his customer base.

It is only reasonable that he would refuse to meet with CEO's of the oil and gas industry. What would his greenie supporters think if he actually considered putting America ahead of them?

How many oil companies actually support Biden, because they like that he increases oil prices?

If the oil guys actually wanted to meet Bidum they should have brought pudding and ice cream. Their spokesperson should have been a 12 YO girl.

Which brings me to another point. While he won’t meet with U. S. oil company CEO’s he will meet with Venezuela, Saudi Princes and Iranian mullahs.

This shows how irrational the green energy fanatics are. They want America to remain free of the effects of oil exploration and production, but they know they have to get the energy from somewhere. No wonder they can't let Biden speak to oil company executives- he wouldn't know what to say.

He is a coward. And the oil company CEO’s didn’t get to that position by being dummies. They are smart businessmen and clever politicians.

Besides, biden is not making these decisions. He just says what he is told to say. It would be a waste of time.

Biden's unwillingness to meet with oil CEOs at the White House Thursday

He's playing childing power play games while the entire nation suffers, he's unfit for office. The least he could have done is get wheeled in to the meeting a drool before letting his aides commence the meeting.

“Thanks to his cognitive decline..,”

And that is exactly why he did not meet with them.
