Biden Blames Big Oil for High Cost of His War on Oil
The Daily Signal ^ | December 3, 2021 | Deroy Murdock

President Joe Biden is the kind of man who deliberately would steer his car into a ditch, crawl from the wreckage, and then probe the ditch for criminal conduct.

Such nonsense mirrors Biden’s recent instructions to the Federal Trade Commission. Citing “mounting evidence of anti-consumer behavior by oil-and-gas companies,” Biden told the Federal Trade Commission to “bring all of the Commission’s tools to bear if you uncover any wrongdoing.”

Is Biden cynical enough to blame Big Oil for a national fiasco that he concocted? Or is he so touchingly self-unaware that he misses the connection between higher pump prices and his own war on oil?

In June 2007, Biden shared with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer his plan to cut gasoline costs: “As president of the United States, use the Justice Department to go in an investigate this whole issue of price-gouging.”

When Biden uttered such baseless paranoia in September, The Associated Press put him in his place. “THE FACTS: There actually is little evidence something nefarious is behind the higher gasoline prices, as Biden suggests.”

It takes profound naivete for Biden not to recognize how his and his team’s anti-oil animus has driven fuel costs skyward. In fewer than 11 months, this administration has:

Mr. Murdock really must stop attributing the motive to naivete, when it is actually malicious, at least toward people of modest means.

To his credit, Murdock does describe some of the Biden admin’s utterances as thuggish later on in the article, so he may indeed have an idea that this stuff is more than just stupidity, although it is stupid as well.

Worth saying again.

The man can’t blow his nose without staff assistance. This is an effort to nationalize energy production and starve the middle class into submission. The #JihadJunta is he!! bent on enslaving the plebes… you know, Socialism and the “great reset..”

He should put Hunter in charge. He’s a big wig in the energy sector from what I hear.

OK, re-reading that article, I realize that maybe Murdock thinks this IS malicious, just like I do. That is, he may be aware that this administration really IS trying to fly the plane into the mountain.

Democrat playbook 101. When gas prices increase because of their policies, demonize Big Oil, and investigate for collusion/price rigging schemes. Clinton did it, Obama did it, and now Biden. MSM laps it up like hogs at the trough.

Almost sounds like a BB ad; BTW, how was it that all those EO’s Biden was signing on day one in office come about? It looks like they were already prepared way beforehand.

All he cares about right now is getting that second package through Congress with half a trillion designed to kill off the fossil fuel market.

Watch what the left hand is doing!

When does the congressional clown show start again when they bring in the oil execs to roast them and then extort money from them

You are too generous. You left off many zeros in that fraction. :)

Bidet is the guy who kills his own parents then cries because he’s an orphan.
