Obama: I’d like higher gas prices, just not so quickly" (June 11, 2008. Flashback to the past)
Hot Air ^ | 6/11/2008 | Ed Morrissey

According to Barack Obama, high gas prices don’t really constitute a problem for Americans. He stated yesterday that the reason for our anger is the rapid increase in prices, not the prices themselves. Obama claimed that Americans would have accepted a “gradual adjustment” to the current cost:

Obama wants higher gas prices? Do the rest of the Democrats feel the same way? It certainly would explain why they continue to block domestic energy production in oil. It would also explain the bloated Lieberman-Warner bill, which would have imposed a heavy regulatory bureaucracy on the energy industry, along with rationing that would have both driven up prices and held down supply.

Why of course he doesn’t care - we pay for his gas!

Has he ever had a drivers’ license? Or an automobile?

Probably doesn’t understand trucking cargo & food to its destination!!!

No limit to his stupidity and the media covers for him,he lacks an ounce of logic and reason but he is the Democrats finest at work.A thank you note must be sent to the non voter you gave him to us.

Right!Be careful not to turn up the heat all at once…the frogs will begin to suspect something is afoot—just reinforce it gradually and they’ll ooh and ah…until it’s too late….ah… human nature…

I believe I read once hat Obama has a gas guzzling Chrysler 300. Being a Millionaire he doesn’t have to worry much about gas price’s though.

The silver lining of course is that this will slow the economy or cause a deeper recession which reduces zero’s chance at a second term. No pain, no gain after all. The 0bama administration can manipulate unemployment numbers and the media can continue to spin the results, but gas and food prices are obvious to all.
0bama’s policies cannot produce low inflation, more jobs, and economic growth, they can only result in the opposite.
