Chu renounces his desire for higher gas prices
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/13/12 | Joel Gehrke

President Obama's Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, renounced his previously-stated desire to see gas prices rise to match European levels in order to motivate alternative energy research, telling the Senate today that he wants gas prices to fall for the sake of the economy. "We have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe," Chu said in 2008. When reminded of that comment today during his congressional testimony, Chu backed away from that position. "I no longer share that view," Chu told Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, today.

I suppose high oil prices subsidized the idiots of solar industry into politics of feasability and now they do not know what to do in the calculus.

How pathetic. There was no follow-up question about when he started to hold this view? Why have you changed your mind? What makes you think this now when you didn’t believe it before? Etc.

Nobody will say a word, nobody will use the two clips in any campaign add.

How does everybody else like being lied to and taken for fools by this administration?

How did Senator Lee not see the obvious slam-dunk follow-up question - even after being set up by Chu used the words "right now?"

To Chu: "Why should we believe your "view" will not revert back - after the November election?"

The entire White-Hut has been salted with people with with Chu’s qualifications.. extreme ultra leftists.. If you DO NOT hold these views you are NOT IN the White-Hut.. you are not welcome.. Its the same in academia.. a cabal of national security risks, ALL..

Not only the White House by the Justice Department the States Department, the whole Executive Branch of Washington D.C. drones.. The Executive Branch has become “a HIVE”.. a collective.. scary when you realize the FBI and CIA and NSA is this way as well.. The Borg have landed..


Strength is irrelevant. Resistance is futile
Negotiation is irrelevant. You will be assimilated
Freedom is irrelevant. Self-determination is irrelevant.
We are the Borg. Resistance as you know it is over. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.
You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been, is over. From this time forward, you will service us.
We used to be exactly like them. Flawed, weak, organic. But we evolved to include the synthetic. Now we use both to attain perfection.
You are an imperfect being, created by an imperfect being.

When marxists’ policies are subjected to the light of day they scurry like the cockroaches they are.

Doesn’t fit with Nobama’s campaign that he’s done everything possible to keep prices lower [higher].
