“”Instead of subsidizing yesterday’s energy sources, we need to invest in tomorrow’s,” he added”

That's code for “there ain't gonna be no new drilling on my watch baby!” The truth is, if the administration would open back up the Gulf, Amwar, grant new leases in the mountain west, allow new drilling for natural gas, and put someone in charge of the EPA who is not a communist, we would see gas prices drop immediately. A portion of gas price is psychological and how the health of the market is perceived. Secondly, the actions I listed would have tangible results starting within a year, not ten years as the lib's state, and would thereby begin bringing actual product on-line and delivered to the end user. But, Zero is flat against additional hydrocarbon capacity and he ain't gonna let it happen. So, we have got to get rid of this creep in 2012...

Is there anything that this individual will NOT lie about?

Thanks for the explanation.

And his socialist mind will never admit that an increased business expense will simply be passed on to the end consumer.

"You see people trying to grab headlines or score a few points," Obama said in his weekly address.

Almost since day one of his administration he has worked against the US energy industry.

What a freaking hypocrite!

Bush brought gas prices down with one speech

But that kind of speech is above Obummer's pay grade, dontchaknow. The only speeches his handlers will let him make are designed to shoot for 6-8-10 dollar gas

"That’s $4 billion of your money going to these companies when they’re making record profits and you’re paying near record prices at the pump. It has to stop," Obama said.

This clown is acting like he's some outsider and not the actual president. This is surreal.

"You see people trying to grab headlines or score a few points,"

But you told us gas prices were going to go down when you were president! I Hope this Changes."

...focusing on ending price gauging...

Gee, I bet he'll want to stop price gouging, too!

My tax professor walked into class the first day and said he was going to explain what taxes are due the government in 5 minutes. He then said, “what did you make? Send it in.” He then said we would spend the rest of the semester learning what the government would let us keep. That’s O’s mindset. All money is his and he will let you, or the companies know what they can have. If you get to keep some of your earnings, you have received a subsidy.

What an empty suit this guy is. Sure, we do need to invest and explore for tomorrow, but we can’t constrain what we have now to force it. All that does is hold back our economy and limit the resources avalable to fund and research the viable alternatives. This is what happens when we allow lawyers with no operations management background to act as CEO. As bad as Clinton was, at least he understood basic economics and business thanks to his training as a Gov.

He’s campaigning. Just add, “as your President, I will....” to the end of his disconnected $4 billion statement and it all makes sense. The clueless wonder ONLY knows how to campaign and hurl insults.

Did you hear this simple minded fool’s answer to high gas prices? Trade in that gas guzzler and buy a $43,000 Chevy Volt!!
Never. Sorry GM, but this boy won’t be going there, or anywhere else with a GM brand on it.

The surprising thing is this moron can talk while almost do one in any audience ever puts his mouth agape with his chin on his chest in pure awe at the stupidity of Obama pronouncements.

Because he only speaks to the "Hollywood elite" and college students.
