“We’re going to make sure that no one is taking advantage of the American people for their own short-term gain,” Obama said.

The hilarity of that statement would be tremendous if it
weren’t so tragic.

Yes, that’s what I figured.

In this case Zero is playing word games to demonize the oil industry. Alinsky tactics to divide the nation.

Obama also pointed to a Justice Department task force launched Thursday with the sole aim of discovering fraud or manipulation in the oil markets, such as illegal trading or speculators, that may impact prices.

So what, exactly, is the DOJ going to do about speculators overseas? Oh wait, we're talking about Zero here. So... drone strikes, I guess.

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

Quite an ironic statement coming from this President. I guess we all forgot his recent speech on the budget.

The wealth of America is being forcibly sent to the rest of the world by redistributing our money at the gas pump one gallon at a time. This is a plan.

Some one here on FR came up with the idea of making stickers to go on gasoline pumps.

They simply said:

THANKS 0BAMMA

Why limit the stickers to gasoline pumps when the price of almost everything else is going up.

Stickers for grocery store shelves, building supplies, even most of the items Walmart sells need one of those stickers.

Baloney....Take the fed tax off for the summer!! And if I remember correctly, the last raise was via Clinton. This tax effects both rich and poor alike and but the worse effect is on the workers...who are the most prolific buyers of goods.

I think he wants gas prices up so you’ll sell your gas guzzler and buy a Gov. Motor Electric.

RUSH LIMBAUGH STATED THIS AND THEN BACKED THIS UP...

Since 1977 the OIL INDIUSTRY has paid 584 BILLION DOLLARS IN US TAXES ON PROFITS. THE OIL INDUSTRY HAS COLLECTED FROM US AND DELIVERED TO THE US GOVERNMENT 1.92 TRILLION DOLLARS IN ADDITIONAL USER FEES AND TAXES LEVIED ON OIL CONSUMPTION AND EXTRACTION... THE PROFITS OF THE OIL INDUSTRY DURING THAT ENTIRE TIME HAS BEEN JUST UNDER 600 BILLION DOLLARS. WHO IS MAKING THE OBSCENE PROFIT OFF OF OIL? WHY AREN'T ANY ELECTED REPUBLICANS BASHING OBAMA OVER THE HEAD WITH THESE FACTS? BECAUSE THEY ARE LAZY, STUPID OR CORRUPT... OR ALL THREE!
