Obama deflected blame for high gas prices by blaming American consumers for their automobile choices. According to the AP, "Obama needled one questioner who asked about gasoline prices. Obama laughingly said: 'If you're complaining about the price of gas and you're only getting 8 miles per gallon you might want to think about a trade-in." For most Americans, however, gas prices are no laughing matter. And for the president to suggest that a taxpayer's inability to buy a new $40,000+ hybrid vehicle (that still requires gas) is the root problem, rather than his price-increasing oil policies is shameful. Before Obama became president, his personal choice was a Chrysler 300 V8. The predident's campaign vehicle a GMC Yukon averaging 17 mpg. But of course, this is a "do as we say, not as we do" activist administration. But not a word about his anti-drilling policies and costly regulations that are contributing to ever-higher fuel costs!

That’s OK, I’m thinking about a trade in.
Everyone knows the rules do not apply to the elitists. They know better than everyone else, so they deserve to have more.
The leaders of the Chinese communist party have the same attitude.
$60 for a fill up or car payments which will also need $60 fill ups. BRILLIANT!
FUBO.
Freepers have this uncanny ability to beat you to a post. You nailed it.
FUBO!!!
60 bucks? wow.. your lucky. My little 4 cylinder, 5 speed, no options Ranger pickup cost me close to 70 yesterday.
At least it goes about 350 on a fill.
I own it out right, there won’t be a prius or 50,000 dollar hybrid truck in my drive way for years. Gas is still cheaper than the payment plus fuel for anything else.
I am still kicking myself for getting rid of the VW pickup that ran on diesel though.
Don’t forget Zero is in the new car business ;)
...never.
That kind of flippant response goes to the very heart of the narcissistic, elitist arrogance that utterly defines that scumbag. His “let them eat cake” attitude is growing very, very thin.
Obama-lama-ding-dong is so completely out of touch with mainstream America it’s ridiculous and he could really care less. The sooner this scumbag is gone the better.
I call them roller skates, or death traps. Either way, obama is an elitist putz who's making me wish my life away.
Is it 2012 yet? Oh how I wish time would speed up just this once.
I thought a Prioes was an electric car?
Like I've posted on FR several times, I still have the receipt of my gas purchase on 01/20/2009: $1.50/gallon regular unleaded.
Ah, the good ole days...
Remember the black woman in Atlanta who was all excited about the kenyan getting elected? She was raving “I’ll never to have pay to fill my gas tank again!” Well, since she probably can’t afford to “fill” it I guess she wasn’t lying. I do wish some reporter would track her down while she’s buying gas.
I blame the sons of bitches that voted for him. When I am buying gas, I let the people next to me know who is responsible for the high price. The ones who probably voted for him hang theit heads, the others say, “I sure as hell didn’t vote for the son of a bitch”, ot similar words to that effect.
What nobama and his minions are doing to America is purposeful.
nobama hates you, hates your family, hates Free America, hates Americans, hates the Constitution and hates the Bill of Rights. nobama is a hate crime foisted upon the USA. nobama is the Destroyer.
nobama, his grifter family and minions are above you. You are a serf.
I think he was pissed because someone asked a question he wasn’t expecting. I’ll bet he was reeming some aid’s butt...”Who let that bastard ask that question? Find out if he’s with the Tea Party?”
