Obama: 'Rising gas prices are not my fault'
Associated Press ^ | 2/25/12

Posted on 02/26/2012 10:15:16 AM PST by Justaham

President Barack Obama has defended his energy strategy claiming there is no easy answer to the problem of rising gas prices. 'We know there's no silver bullet that will bring down gas prices or reduce our dependence on foreign oil overnight,' Obama said on Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address dismissing Republican solutions as little more than gimmicks.

'But what we can do is get our priorities straight and make a sustained, serious effort to tackle this problem.'

Barry can’t help himself. He’s just a natural born liar. I guess it’s Bush’s fault again, as usual.

We know the president has nothing to do with the price of oil...just do not take credit when the price goes down.

Obama’s in luck - the New York Times and Washington Post and all the alphabet networks will buy any excuse he puts out... Too bad the press has thrown away their credibility ... might of worked for him.

Not true...he’d take responsibility if the prices went way down.

Free tagline for those who don't have one:

GAS WAS $1.85 per gallon on the day Obama was Inaugurated!

Obama: “Rising gas prices are due to an algae shortage.”

I have never seen anyone as blindly arrogant as this scumbag.

I got news for this fool, he is responsible, but his cronies are so busy stroking his ego that he just goes on making a fool of himself.

His green projects have gone bankrupt, Keystone a no-go, no drilling, and the economy is a major mess all in his first three years. Outside of Carterr there has never been as big a failure as this socialist moron.

Obama said Republicans have one answer to the oil pinch: drill.

Stupid Republicans!

They act like you can just drill more wells to increase the supply!

We have to invest hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to invent making oil from pond scum.

Then hundreds of billions MORE to build the hundreds of plants that would make the stuff.

The gas from that should only cost $10 - $12 a gallon. Thats pretty competitive on the European market!

There is NO NEED to pump oil out of the ground. That gas would only cost about $2 a gallon and would confuse the global markets.

Newt presented a convincing argument on Saturday that not only are the gas prices Obama’s fault but it is deliberate:

Obama: 'Rising gas prices are not my fault'

But you and your Dim predecessors in the White House are significantly at fault for rising crude oil prices. See if you can find a connection to rising gasoline prices.

'We know there's no silver bullet that will bring down gas prices or reduce our dependence on foreign oil overnight,' Obama said.

So Mr. _resident, when you said on the campaign trail in 2008 that all we needed to do was inflate our tires, were you lying or just ignorant?

A true, Ivy-league-educated idiot.
