Trump: Obama Is to Blame For High Oil Prices
CNBC ^ | April 11, 2011 | Margo D. Beller, Special to CNBC

Real estate developer Donald Trump blames President Obama for the rising price of oil, warning, "this country can never, ever recover" if oil prices continue to go up.

"That's really the life's blood of the country," Trump told CNBC in a phone interview on Monday. The Trump Organization chairman, who says he's considering running for president, plans to decide "before June" on the matter.

He contended that Obama is not a leader and is "in bed with these (OPEC) people. He doesn't speak the way you have to speak to them."

Although he blames China for "ripping off our country," Trump gives them credit for using US funds to rebuild airports, bridges and other infrastructure.

"When was the last time you saw a bridge being built in the United States?

Trump is right and I’m glad somebody is finally stating the obvious.

Trump is killing ‘em. It’s like playing ‘wack a mole’...except Trump’s the elusive mole.

Can't be repeated enough.

Trump ? yes, what you have said is correct, however ? along with that, high taxes and government regulations will not get this country going again, nor will the debt problem we are facing will not help.

It’s Obama, the entire DemocRat party, and all their allies in the environmental wacko lobby.

They’re ALL to blame.

Obama has done nada to influence, promote, cajole, coerce, or generally motivate the country to produce more oil to make our country more secure.

Instead we had a moratorium on drilling and his lie regarding the US having only 2 percent of the world's reserves.

Think of the conservative TV and radio commercials this type of material brings us...

The MSM is spiritually married to Obama
whom they forced onto America - by trick.

They do NOT and will NOT report what is happening.

I agree. This is the most damaging issue. Run ads, showing Obama's campaign promise that fuel prices would increase. Then point out Obama's actions and inactions in office that have contributed.

"It energy costs stupid!"

It’s sad that Trump is the only one saying anything about the kenyan’s oil prices.

Of course, Trump is right on target. He knows it and BO knows because Soros and his marxist criminals told him.

You mean to tell me that stating “Well, to begin with we can all inflate our tires,” (2008) isn't a national strategic energy policy?

In the meantime:

- No to ANWR
- Moratorium to off shore drilling
- No more mentioning of nuclear power after Fukushima

But there is no lack of pictures of him standing out front of solar and wind farms or in their manufacturing plants:

The question you should ask a lib: So, how's that unicorn, rainbow, pixy dust, power coming along?

I know many people who are really upset about food prices that rise every day. Of course high oil prices also add to the food price pain.

The GOP and supporting groups need to be putting out ads now. People are angry.

The MSM won’t press this. So the GOP needs to. Food prices hit right inside the home.

We over-regulated manufacturing out of our country now We ship all our money to China where they loan it back to us with interest.
We pump little oil due to over-regulation and now we ship all our money to the middle east.

And i wonder why we are broke.

Jeeeeez............
