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

Posted on 04/11/2011 8:41:40 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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?

<< He is the only on trying to EARN MY VOTE. >>

I’ll tell you, I listened to his interview and I’m starting to warm to the idea of Trump as POTUS. So far, he represents me more than any others in the GOP, (except for Sarah, and she’s not running.)

Obama’s no more to blame than Bush was. The problem is now, as it was in 2007, the speculators. Mandate that those who buy oil need to take delivery, and the problem evaporates. Wanna buy and hold 10,000 barrels? Hope you have a garage.

AMEN! Finally someone has the guts to lay the blame where it belongs: Imam Obamessiah, the so-called “president” who wants everyone but him and his cronies to ride around on public transportation or in majic pixie cars powered by windmills and lolly pops.

AGAIN, Trump is correct.

1. Uncertainty leading to a rush to commodities for security, check by dumbo
2. Printing money leading to a rush to commodities for security and a hedge against inflation, check by dumbo
3. Crippling the domestic supply, check by dumbo
4. Forbid import of Canadian tar sands oil, check by dumbo
5. Adding to uncertainty in Libya and putting the U.S. on the lose-lose side of things, check by dumbo

Need more?

Enormous amounts of oil are required to manufacture so many products in east Asia...and counting up. ...and to get the hundreds of millions of new consumers going in their new vehicles. Viola: east Asian havens for western tourists improved, servants more grateful and subservient.

Obama’s policies are so easy to wack and it makes you wonder by the Party of Stupid is not swinging away!

The one that sticks out for me is the Auto Czar King maker scheme. Cash for clunkers - destroying and wasting all those cars which could have been used for parts and were free of debt - and enticing Americans to go into more debt to get something “free”...well that is a mole found on memory lane that needs to be wacked good. Picking dealers to close down based on race and their political donations rather than profits...The smashing success of Government Motors’ Volt.

We need to give The Donald a truck load of hammers.

Yep!

I'm beginning to have very positive thoughts about what Trump is going to do to Obama.

"Be afraid, Barry...be very afraid!"

instead of the media referring the price of oil as “the daily national average”..let’s just call it, “The Obama Gasoline Price”,example: The Obama Gas Price today is $4.25 a gallon. It is expected to go up to 4.99 a gallon just in time for Memorial Day Weekend. And when asked for a response, Obama ran away from the press and gave the Mike to the Vice-President, Bill Clinton.
