Indians buying more cars, pushing up gas prices: Obama

So ... next time Zero wants to go somewhere in DC, you think he'll just walk out his back door and hop on Metro at Farragut West?

ROFL!!!!!!

FUBO!

[Terry Mross]

Is this guy really this stupid?

First of all, he says stop buying cars (which is the only way to stop driving cars) and gas prices will go down then says gas prices will go up no matter what we do.

Then he equates 8.5 cars per 1000 to 950 per thousand. I don’t think a few cars will make a difference.

And he wants us to stop buying cars after he’s used tax dollars to buy GM. I wonder how the unions feel about his stupid remarks.

This guy is one great big empty suit.

But, sadly, those who supported him and still support him will only say “He didn’t mean it” or “So?”

All the while this prick and his butt ugly wife spend millions jetting all over the globe for his vacations.

[holden]

Yeah, and somewhere in Timbuktu a butterfly is now beating its wings that will exacerbate the severity of a yet-to-be identified killer tornado on the American midwest!

Never let go of a blown-out-of proportion, manufactured crisis, Rahm!

"Public transportation is useful for only a small segment in a few select areas. By definition it CANNOT serve everyone unless we all live in Soviet-style housing."

Don't give him any ideas...

Is that Hugh Hefner on the left? Didn’t know he was Indian.

LOL - and the guy on the right looks like Joe Pesci.

[ilovesarah2012]

Obama said he wanted higher gas prices and now people are surprised?

[A_Former_Democrat]

Furthermore it tends to be unsafe many times.

[Osage Orange]

Wait a minute....I've not seen a ton more cars around here.

Oh wait...not us Indians!!

Those Indians.

[mojitojoe]

Maybe if that skinny homo stays off of Air Force one for a change that will help. FUBO and the camel your nasty as* rode in on.

[Del Rapier]

I assume that India and China will also be hiring BP hence the gas shortage.

[crosshairs]

US President Barack Obama is asking auto-loving Americans to use public transportation more as the fact that Indians and Chinese are buying more cars will push up oil prices.

Let them take public transportation. They're the ones numbering in the billions.

[chris_bdba]

So in other words it is ok for thoise in other countries to drive cars but here in America we are going to make gas too expensive for all of you by not allowing our own energy production. Does he even know that there is zero public transportation 20 mi outside of most cities?

[swarthyguy]

>too much technology.

My favorite retort to yahoos like that is to say OK, why don’t you stop using 150 year old technology.

Don’t use your crapper. For a week only. See how that works.

"But it's not just transit. It's our ports, our airports, our sewer systems, our water systems."

So where did all those shovel-ready dollars go???

[Smokin' Joe]

"We don't have one right now. We used to be at the top. Now you've got China - they're building multiple high-speed rail lines all across the country, leaving us behind,"

Okay, I guess, if you are in China. So how many people are going to use them? Still won't get you anywhere the rails don't go.

Obama said. "But it's not just transit. It's our ports,

(We need a Calcutta), our airports, our sewer systems, (we need a Ganges, too!) our water systems. (a...Ganges!!)"

[Smokin' Joe]

The tarrif on Chinese-made oilfield tubular goods (think Casing, drill pipe) went into effect this week, effectively doubling the price of such goods.

But Obamam will blame the Indians for any increase in the price of gasoline, even though fewer than nine out of every thousand Indians has a car.

Yep. Wannalottanookie Tribe.

[Smokin' Joe]

Does he even know that there is zero public transportation 20 mi outside of most cities?

Sure he does. People are far easier to control in cities. You can turn the power, water, heat, sewer lift pumps, etc. on and off...

Hard to mess with people who have a fireplace, an outhouse, and a well...

[GreenAccord]

F**k you, Obu....I drill it myself."
