Chu: I would give myself an ‘A’ for energy prices
The Daily Caller ^ | 03/20/2012 | Mathew Boyle

Energy Secretary Steven Chu told a House panel Tuesday that he’d give himself top marks when asked to grade his policies’ effects on energy prices. Rep. Darrell Issa, the chairman of the House committee on Oversight and Government Reform, asked President Obama’s top energy official if he’d grade himself with an “A minus” on “controlling the cost of gasoline at the pump.”

Chu responded by saying he’d give himself a better grade than that.

“The tools we have at our disposal are limited, but I would I say I would give myself a little higher in that since I became Secretary of Energy, I’ve been doing everything I can to get long-term solutions,” Chu said.

Chu would give himself the top grade on gas prices despite that fact that the average price for a gallon of gas just hit $3.87 – the highest ever recorded in the month of March, according to ABC News.

Liberal socialists absolutly love super high energy prices because high cost discourages energy usage and saves the planet from global warming

One more Liberal Socialist advantage is that high energy prices contribute to a depressed economy and brings the little people to their knees in soup lines begging for a handout

FDR was a pioneer at this strategy

They are not lying when they think they are doing well,

the more they destroy the economy , the closer they are to their goal

Marxists are a hoot! They don’t love anyone as much as they love themselves.

I think the headline was abridged. It should have read:

OK this is getting really pathetic now, we know he wants higher gas prices, we know obama does because they think we’ll be forced into golf carts.

The MSM know it, we all know it but for crying out loud to now try and tell us he wants lower prices and for the MSM to actually report that is beyond pathetic.

This admin should have been toast two years ago , infact they should never have been elected and Hillary would have been the nominee for the Dems if the MSM had done their job, no not the propaganda socialist job but the job their title states.

Why hasn’t this twerp Chu solved the so-called energy crisis yet? Obama said he had a Nobel Prize or something and was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

He’s a classic example of just how perverted and sick a liberal mind can become.
He belongs in a padded room or in a straight jacket or both.

He has helped fulfill Obama’s campaign promise of skyrocketing energy prices, of course he gets top marks. He is simply carrying out Obama’s policies as is his job.

Chu is a true believer and is beyond hope. If up to me, he’d be in jail over Solyndra.
