Obama: Calls for more drilling are a 'bumper sticker', not an energy plan

President Barack Obama on Thursday assailed Republicans for what he described as a flawed and dishonest strategy for reducing gas prices, predicting his rivals would offer nothing but more drilling and political promises of $2-a-gallon gas. Said the president: "The American people aren't stupid."

"That's not a plan, especially since we're already drilling. That's a bumper sticker," Obama said in a stop at the University of Miami. "It's not a strategy to solve our energy challenge. That's a strategy to get politicians through an election. You know there are no quick fixes to this problem."

Obama spoke as gas has reached the highest price at the pump ever for this time of year: an average of $3.58 per gallon. White House advisers see it as a cyclical occurrence but knew Obama had to address the topic, one of deep concern to consumers and growing fodder for Republicans seeking to unseat Obama.

Obama said gas prices were "like a tax straight out of their paychecks." He promoted an energy agenda of oil, gas, wind, solar, nuclear and biofuel energy. And he took aim at Republicans.

"You can bet that since it's an election year, they're already dusting off their three-point plans for $2 gas. I'll save you the suspense: Step one is to drill, step two is to drill, and step three is to keep drilling. ... We've heard the same thing for thirty years. Well, the American people aren't stupid."

Obama insisted there are no short-term solutions to high gas prices, and that anyone suggesting otherwise was not being honest. Still, he sought to offer something to anxious voters by saying he had ordered his administration to search for every possible area to help consumers in the coming months.

And “hope and change” was a plan you fruity, skinny little muslim fop?

Skinny little MUSLIM FOP?

I'm not sure what a FOP is but I know what a MUSLIM traitor would do if Hussein was placed in the White House by a conspiracy to destroy the United States:

Oil must be bought from the countries that support the conspiracy. One of Hussein's biggest goals would be to keep the great Satin, the United States, buying oil from the Middle East.

Arab Spring? A Muslim TRAITOR would want to overthrow countries friendly to the United States and replace the governments with radicals who want to support Iran's goal of the destruction of Israel and the United States

Libya went well. Hussein used the US Military to overthrow the government, things are progressing well to radicalize that country

Egypt: The Muslim Brotherhood is on schedule to control that country. These Muzzies are radicals who want to destroy Israel.

Iraq: Hussein is removing US forces which will allow the Muzzies to restart violence and overthrow that government.

Hussein and his co-conspirators are laughing at America who allow the MSM and the government to dictate what Americans think. Some of us will be able to clearly see what is going on but the majority will be lulled by the idiots you see on the MSM news propaganda.

Americans really are foolish enough to let their country be destroyed by a traitor and his co-conspirators.

Hussein has simply enabled the radical left in the country which are anti-American anyway. The EPA, the Dept of Education etc. are all destructive, let them destroy while Hussein sets up the Arab countries to destroy the west. And the MSM sleeps and Americans sleep.

Obama has a energy plan, and the plan is to throw money at the wall in the hopes that some magic “green” solution pops out of nowhere.

Obama has a plan to destroy America, he doesn't want CONSTRUCTIVE SOLUTIONS, he wants America dead and buried.

Get it? Probably not, you are probably another brain washed American who thinks it couldn't happen here, a Muzzie traitor in the White House.
