President Obama's Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, renounced his previously-stated desire to see gas prices rise to match European levels in order to motivate alternative energy research, telling the Senate today that he wants gas prices to fall for the sake of the economy. "We have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe," Chu said in 2008. When reminded of that comment today during his congressional testimony, Chu backed away from that position. "I no longer share that view," Chu told Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, today.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
LOL! I guess the poll numbers are making them nervous.
Now, they are very transparent indeed :)
Wow. This man has the insight of a Nobel prize winner. What was your first clue, Sherlock? What a f*cking dope.
The US is absolutely doomed economically with clowns like this at the helm.
Chu is a Chicom liar.
This clown is on the record all over the place calling for high gas prices and people getting out of their cars. Looks like the Regime is in panic mode over Obummers plummeting poll numbers.
Chu’s flip-flop follows a poll (5 days ago) that indicates that gas prices will kill Obama’s re-election prospects

Chu is lying
Nothing has changed. They still subscribe to it. But they all have a good laugh when they get together for drinks. I can hear it now, all the libs talking over martinis: "Hahahahahaha! Er, no. I don't think it is an issue, why would you think so? Look, if it even makes it to the media, they would just say that point of view was a misstatement, and he changed is view years ago. Before he was hired even. If someone makes a stink, what are they going to do, post the video to the Internet where they can gripe about it? CBS will say that "Watchdog group Media Matters has found no evidence that anyone in the administration belives this is the way to go, and that extremists on the Internet are just trying to muddy the water..."
Yeah, sorry for the misspeak. The toad. Chu, We heard you the first time, bub. We know what you meant. Bossy must have been really ticked that you let the cat out of the bag. no lice for you today!
It is particularly evident now that Imam Obama has figured out that the price of gas does matter now in his re-election bid. If he gets re-elected this nonsense of low gas prices will disappear for real and permanently. It is in their DNA.
Just as incompetent as the Jimmy-
Carter-With-A-Tan for whom he works.....
Wow, word mean something!
Taqiyyah. Say anything to get the enemy off your back until after the election.
Give me a break!
Give me a break!
Hey Stevie boy,
I’ll know you mean it when your boss (1) allows more oil drilling, (2) allows more refineries to be built, and (3) approves the Keystone pipeline.
Until then, I’ll regard your statement as campaign talk with an expiration date in early Nov, 2012.

Pffffft, Obama isn’t worried. Look, he told the UMW he was going to kill the coal industry. He is doing all he can to make good on that, and the UMW is still all in on Obama.
This is a minor hiccup that the enemedia will be charged with making go away.
Chu is a damned liar...
What about Obama’s quote from 2008/2009???
“Energy prices will necessarily rise higher”
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6TbGCRevas<
“Under my plan, electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket.”
Yeah, sorry for the misspeak. The toad. Chu, We heard you the first time, bub. We know what you meant. Bossy must have been really ticked that you let the cat out of the bag. no lice for you today!
“What a f*cking dope.”
Not a fan of special characters. So....
What a Fluken dope.
I suppose high oil prices subsidized the idiots of solar industry into politics of feasability and now they do not know what to do in the calculus.
How pathetic. There was no follow-up question about when he started to hold this view? Why have you changed your mind? What makes you think this now when you didn’t believe it before? Etc.
Nobody will say a word, nobody will use the two clips in any campaign add.
How does everybody else like being lied to and taken for fools by this administration?
“Chu is lying”
Good call. He’s a Democrap, and his lips were moving.
To Chu: "Why should we believe your "view" will not revert back - after the November election?"
To Chu: "Why should we believe your "view" will not revert back - after the November election?"
his prior sound bite became the #1 in hot rotation all across talk radio
The entire White-Hut has been salted with people with with Chu’s qualifications.. extreme ultra leftists.. If you DO NOT hold these views you are NOT IN the White-Hut.. you are not welcome.. Its the same in academia.. a cabal of national security risks, ALL..
Not only the White House by the Justice Department the States Department, the whole Executive Branch of Washington D.C. drones.. The Executive Branch has become “a HIVE”.. a collective.. scary when you realize the FBI and CIA and NSA is this way as well.. The Borg have landed..
Strength is irrelevant. Resistance is futile
Negotiation is irrelevant. You will be assimilated
Freedom is irrelevant. Self-determination is irrelevant.
We are the Borg. Resistance as you know it is over. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.
You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been, is over. From this time forward, you will service us.
We used to be exactly like them. Flawed, weak, organic. But we evolved to include the synthetic. Now we use both to attain perfection.
You are an imperfect being, created by an imperfect being.
When marxists’ policies are subjected to the light of day they scurry like the cockroaches they are.
Chu the RAT poster boy for the 2012 Election.
Doesn’t fit with Nobama’s campaign that he’s done everything possible to keep prices lower [higher].
