Biden Blames Big Oil for High Cost of His War on Oil
The Daily Signal ^ | December 3, 2021 | Deroy Murdock

President Joe Biden is the kind of man who deliberately would steer his car into a ditch, crawl from the wreckage, and then probe the ditch for criminal conduct.

Such nonsense mirrors Biden’s recent instructions to the Federal Trade Commission. Citing “mounting evidence of anti-consumer behavior by oil-and-gas companies,” Biden told the Federal Trade Commission to “bring all of the Commission’s tools to bear if you uncover any wrongdoing.”

Is Biden cynical enough to blame Big Oil for a national fiasco that he concocted? Or is he so touchingly self-unaware that he misses the connection between higher pump prices and his own war on oil?

In June 2007, Biden shared with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer his plan to cut gasoline costs: “As president of the United States, use the Justice Department to go in an investigate this whole issue of price-gouging.”

When Biden uttered such baseless paranoia in September, The Associated Press put him in his place. “THE FACTS: There actually is little evidence something nefarious is behind the higher gasoline prices, as Biden suggests.”

It takes profound naivete for Biden not to recognize how his and his team’s anti-oil animus has driven fuel costs skyward. In fewer than 11 months, this administration has:

Oh they’re dusting off the old evil oil companies narrative. They’ve been using that one since the seventies. Haven’t heard it much for the last 20-30 years, guess they thought it was time to bring it back out to distract from the disastrous policies Brandon has adopted.
I don’t think people will buy it, reeks of desperation.

These two bit politicians are jealous of anyone that makes a lot of money in the real world therefore they want to shut it down. They are a bunch of idiot loosers that couldn’t make a living in the private sector. Same with academia types.

They likely were. No matter what most candidates say about hitting the ground running at 12n on 1/20, they usually take some time to get things going. Not this Butt-Head, however.

Actually, our idiot GOP-led Congress did it too during the Bush (II) era prior to their shellacking in 2006.

So having to pay for oil at market prices rather than pumping it out of the ground yourself at whatever it cost you (which Biden opposes) is the fault of the big oil companies?

The Demagogic Party can always count on its stooges to believe whatever line of crap (or two diametrically opposed lines of crap) they spew.

When’s the last time you heard a libtard admit they screwed up? 🤪

I can’t remember either and not sure it ever happened.

My granpappy had one of his dogs go mad. He took him out behind the barn and shot him. He didn’t have a mad dog problem anymore.
