Biden blames oil prices on Ukraine war, credits Democrats for improving economy
NBC News / Comcast ^ | March 11, 2022 | By Sahil Kapur

PHILADELPHIA — President Joe Biden told House Democrats gathered here on Friday that 2022 “may be the most important off-year election in modern history,” gave his party credit for an improving economy and rejected blame for rising gas prices.

“Democrats didn’t cause this problem. Vladimir Putin did,” Biden said of the Russian president. “Putin’s gas tax has pushed prices higher.”

Biden touted the $1.9 trillion Covid relief and economic stimulus package on the anniversary of its enactment. “We created 6.7 million jobs last year, more than any other time in American history,” he said.

“We did it alone. Without one single solitary Republican vote," he said. "It was the Democrats — it was you — that brought us back."

Biden said the real reason prices are so high in the U.S. — “notwithstanding what Republicans say” — is twofold: Covid’s disruptions to supply chains, and Putin’s war in Ukraine driving up gas prices. “Make no mistake, inflation’s largely the fault of Putin,” he said.

Biden said his administration has sought to promote domestic energy while trying to balance it with steps to boost clean energy and combating climate change.

After his remarks, Biden was set to hold a question-and-answer session with the Democratic lawmakers that was closed to the press.

So speaking of brandon, when laying out his latest BS to the nation I noticed he always shifts his weight from right to left while speaking.

Curious...I did a web search on that behavior and this is one of the things that I saw......I think the author nailed it:

“What does it mean when someone is constantly shifting weight back and forth between their legs while standing?

It means they are acting shifty, and are likely a scoundrel. These types of people can be manipulative, dangerous and toxic. They use their connections to get what they want, see people as objects, are extremely narcissistic and do not keep their word. The shifting from foot to foot represents their inability to form stable relationships with others. The lack of structure in their lives is embodied by their physical structure changing rapidly. When they are on their right leg, that symbolizes the fact that they always think they are right. When they are on their left leg, it shows the deep pain of someone they loved who left them. Be very careful with this type of person. You may wish to avoid them, or, if you are brave, tell them what an asshole they are.”

Does anyone even look at facts anymore? The chart of oil (thus fuel) prices shows a steady increase in prices since Biden was elected. The Russian aggression just gave an excuse to accelerate the rate of increase.

Not really Joey. Mitch helped you Joe. So did Mittens, Lez, little Adam, Linda Graham, and other RINO sh!tbags! No one thinks that going over a cliff is bringing anything back. Usually its how one commits suicide!

It would be interesting to hear the kind of questions he got from Democrats running for reelection. They can't be getting any sort of traction with that crazy blame game. Unless they're in the deep blue parts of the country.

So this is what Democrats mean when they say they are going to “improve” the economy. Good to know.

First Biden said inflation was only temporary and just passing.
Then Biden said inflation was good for the economy.
Then inflation was the result of greedy oil and other companies.
Then inflation was all Putin’s fault and it was our duty to suffer.
