Obama To Address Soaring Gas Prices [Oh Joy! Another speech!]

Fox Phoenix ^ | 2/22/2012

[SoFloFreeper]

President Barack Obama will deliver a speech on energy and rising gas prices Thursday at the University of Miami, FOX News Channel reported.

White House officials told FOX the president will lay out an "all of the above" approach to the nation's energy security that he has previously outlined and will tout the fact that domestic oil production has risen on his watch while imports have decreased.

Gas prices have continued to climb in recent months, surpassing $4 per gallon in some areas.

[SoFloFreeper]

Obama cannot take legitimate credit for increased domestic production of oil. All of that was set in motion by approved drilling permits and actions taken by the Bush team the previous eight years.

Even the drooling sycophants in the media ought to realize it takes time to get rigs in place and operational once the government paper work is done.

Obama may as well take credit for Pixar's success, too, since they've made a ton of money since he was put into power. Except he had NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR SUCCESS.

INFLATE YO TIRES

[Adder]

Bet the price will jump 10 cents after he finishes runnin his mouth....

[John W]

Obama and his party want higher gas prices so why the speech?

[Lazamataz]

Let me guess.

Republicans are to blame.

And the media will proudly lie about this from now until election.

[ripley]

It’s George Bush’s fault.

[deoetdoctrinae]

LET'S PUT THIS THING IN OVERDRIVE,
AND BRING THIS FREEPATHON HOME!

[albie]

Should be some good stock buying opportunities after he’s done. It always tanks when he flaps his yapper.

“INFLATE YO TIRES”

Exactly! GHW Bush got destroyed for being disconnected from the average person. Obama is all of that. I expect his speech to be alternately scolding and condescending.

“We can’t consume all of the world’s oil.”
“Inflate your tires.”
“We use more than our share, we must conserve.”
“Buy a Volt.”

The only thing I hate more than Obama is the MSM.

[Uncle Ike]

And once he’s addressed it, he can put a stamp on it, and mail it to somebody who actually cares what he thinks...

[EQAndyBuzz]

“Obama and his party want higher gas prices so why the speech?”

All the GOP has to do Friday morning is start running the “gas prices necessarily going up speech” over and over again. Hammer it home.

[ThomasMore]

Let me guess. Republicans are to blame.

Hell no, Laz...Bush's Fault!

Obama To Address Soaring Gas Prices

Well, good! I hope he gives those naughty gas prices a stern talkin' to.

What a charade.

Libs and RATS and the whores in Big Media (but I repeat myself) accused President Bush of manipulating gas prices heading into the 2008 election. As we all know, RATS always accuse Republicans of engaging in the very acts they themselves engage in. We've all seen how the stock market magically goes up every time Urkel gets another trillion dollars to spend so why should we be surprised if gas prices suddenly start falling after a run up?

And, again magically, right before the election. My guess is gas will be back down around 3.50 a gallon come November and President Clouseau will run around crowing (is that racist?) about how he prevented gas prices from going to ten dollars a gallon or some such b.s.

Speech:
I wanted the Keystone pipeline, Republicans blocked it
My administration has opened up more oil fields than any other in history, Republicans are blocking the permit process
I wanted to lower the federal tax on gas taxes, Republicans have blocked that
My administration is trying to fund alternative energy business, Republicans are blocking the funding
I want you to beleive everything thing I am saying today, it is not my fault it is the fault of the Republicans

[RayChuang88]

Quick, short your stocks now! Almost every time the current President opens his mouth on a public policy speech every stock trader runs for the hills....

[Coldwater Creek]

My guess is that the speech will be a complication of all of Obama’s past energy speeches. Bush's fault, stupid Republicans putting a stop to the Keystone Pipeline, bla bla bla.

Even if I knew without a doubt that Obama knew what he was talking about, I wouldn’t believe a word that comes out of his lying mouth.

Obama Solution: Drive behind and closer to high profile vehicles.

[EQAndyBuzz]

“Hell no, Laz...Bush’s Fault”

I am pretty sure it will be Jeb Bush’s fault as this speech will take place in Florida.

Might as well blame a Bush.

[woweeitsme]

It’s the eeeevulll oil companies. We need steal their oil and nationalize it.

[Tupelo]

I kinda think he may say something like:
“It is ALL the fault of the oil companies and George Bush, an oil man you know. Right now, Venezuelan gas prices are under $2.00 a gallonm while here in the United States gas prices are approaching $4.00 a gallon. This is unacceptable. The only way for us to get gas prices under control is to nationalize the oil companies like their great leader Hugo Chavez did.”
or something like that.
