"...Allah is great, ...ah...ah..ah,. errr I mean look at those high profits those evil gas companies are making"

The Energy Department isn’t working to lower gasoline prices directly, Secretary Steven Chu said Tuesday after a Republican lawmaker scolded him for his now-infamous 2008 comment that gas prices in the U.S. should be as high as in Europe.
Instead, DOE is working to promote alternatives such as biofuels and electric vehicles, Chu told House appropriators during a hearing on DOE’s budget.
But Americans need relief now, Rep. Alan Nunnelee (R-Miss.) said — not high gasoline prices that could eventually push them to alternatives.
“I can’t look at motivations. I have to look at results. And under this administration the price of gasoline has doubled,” Nunnelee told Chu.
“The people of north Mississippi can’t be here, so I have to be here and be their voice for them,” Nunnelee added. “I have to tell you that $8 a gallon gasoline makes them afraid. It’s a cruel tax on the people of north Mississippi as they try to go back and forth to work. It’s a cloud hanging over economic development and job creation.”

Steven Chu—the dumbest smartest man ever.
Indeed.
The Messiah told us flat out that hge would soon be robbing us, but that it was for our own good. Oama is getting exactly what he wants.
His intention is to destroy America economically and drive us into third world status.
The idiot is actually taking ownership of these prices.
They own it.
Make them lose. Hammer them about this. Not only is this bad for the American economy, it hurts the American auto industry and every person who drives.
Everything which moves from one place to another by truck. Every person who goes to work each day.
This is the issue of the next election. Right here. Right now. Hammer the left about this, GOP. No quarter.
DRILL BABY DRILL.

One good reason for a disappearing act. Wonder how they are impacting negatively the nuclear business?

What do you drive Mr Chu?
An electric car?
Does Obama? Does anyone in his Administration?
Thought so...............
Well, you should eat your broccoli. The problem is, by the time they are done, broccoli will cost $10 a bunch.
Wow, thanks for finally noticing, Politico, you blind, deaf and dumb morons.
I agree. As long as we stop using the worst-sounding catchphrase ever.
Wow, thanks for finally noticing, Politico, you blind, deaf and dumb morons.
I like it.
I predict, the phrase will see a spontaneous resurgence in popularity, because it’s true.
DRILL BABY DRILL.
