Obama Whines About Gas Prices – Forgets to Mention Keystone (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, February 14, 2012, 10:31 AM
Barack Oama whined about high gas prices today in his press statement on the budget. He forgot to mention the Keystone Pipeline or the numerous petroleum projects he rejected these past three years.
He must be hoping Americans will forget about his record too when gas prices hit $5 a gallon.
For the record U.S. oil demand fell 1.2 percent to 18.9 million barrels a day last year.

#3 Mimsey,
No, don’t leave. There’s no place on this earth that is a better country to fight for than this one. Just because we’re going to have to fight to get our government back, and don’t be fooled there are thousands upon thousands in this country, many in the military who are waiting for the right time when it will be beyond a shadow of a doubt that Obama’s crimes and usurptions have met all the critieria of the law, and then he will be taken down and arrested. Hell, at the rate he’s committing these crimes against the Constitution it may be sooner than you think.
I don’t really care what is going on in the world, that means nothing here as far as whether or not this country is worth saving, you better damn well believe it is. There is going to be some struggle, but we have the Constitution behind us and everything we do to save this nation is for it’s sake, not the Communist Manifesto, or Rules For Radicals, and I’ll tell you something else to and that is this country isn’t being saved for Islam either. Obama may think he’s smart, but there are many more people a hell of alot smarter than Obama who will take his power from him and he won’t even know what happened. And it’s not going to be some political party members per sa, it’s patriots who love this country because America is a gift from God.
And I know there are many people who think, “Well if there is a God why won’t He stop all this suffering? I don’t believe He really cares about us.”
Did you ever think that God is waiting for US to do what we’re supposed to do, first? Did you ever think that you expect God to do your part of exposing evil and destroying it’s grip on the people of this country, then God will do the parts we’re not able to do for ourselves. That’s what He always does, but He wants us to do our part. So stop being lazy and make that call to your representative, write that email. Stop expecting God to do your part and His to because you don’t have time, bull! You make the time because the country is worth saving. Don’t let evil Socialist/Communists have our nation. If we do that, the Muslims will be less likely to attack those who make the effort to lift themselves up.

WillofLa commented:
#9 Blessed,
God didn’t give us Obama, we let that happen. And why are we being tested? To see if we saw our mistake and we have the humility to correct that mistake this time around. If we do not turn out in such high numbers that we will overwelm all the cheating the Democrats can muster, and that is for state governments as well as conservatives who are running against liberal Republican’s and Socialist Democrats who are presently holding the U.S. Senate, then we can only blame ourselves for what we allowed.
See, our purpose on Earth is to defeat evil here. Jesus defeated death, not evil. He took the keys to the Gates of Hell from Satan so that none should die but if they believe on Christ they will have everlasting life. I know you know that. Our battle with evil is our job. And if we are neglegent in doing that job then evil will live. If we give evil access to power, like Obama was given when elected, then what does anyone expect when he makes gasoline stay at $3.50 a gal. and we don’t like it.
God has given us all the power we need to defeat evil on this earth. If we can’t do what we’re supposed to do, and give up because we think all is lost, it will be. We need to make calls to the TV networks, newspapers, and other representatives other than our own, send emails to same, talk to people, your relatives. I would talk to my relatives but their all dead, and the couple that are still living are conservatives anyway.
But do all you can, and if the outcome is evil like we are experiencing now, it won’t be because you didn’t do all you could. It’s because evil has blinded the eyes of many enough to keep evil in power. You hear about American’s waking up? I hope the numbers of them that we’re being told who have woke up, have. If so then you don’t have anything to worry about, we will be victorious in November.
But as long as we are here on earth evil will be here. Read Revelations in the last part where it says that all these things will come to pass if we let it, but we can stop it, defeat evil, and be prepared when Christ comes back. The Bible says we’ll be told that God will be pleased. But there are all kinds of variable’s between evil still having power over us, or in some degree it is less powerful. It all depends on how much effort we can put forth.

Militant Conservative commented:
Not to worry Obama, I’m reminding ALL your people that you signed the EO for no drilling
in the Gulf AND striking down the keystone pipeline. The only logical conclusion is
that Obama is just fine with you, your family and friends hurting due to his direct actions.
NOW I have another hammer. Class envy, piting one American vs. another over
possesions. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your
neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey,
nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
So Obama not only is a verified sinner but also trying to enduce others to sin as well.
Obama = EVIL

It seems, unfortunately, that the public that shows up at these press conferences are about as dumb as he is.

Gas Price Hypocrisy
In 2006 the Democrats and the media screamed bloody murder over the
high price of gas. When Barack Obama was inaugurated, the average gas
price was $1.87 a gallon. Now that the price has more than doubled, what
are the Democrats and the administration saying now? If you guessed that
high gas prices under Obama are somehow a good thing, give yourself a pat
on the back. The liberal mindset is always an amazing thing to behold.

Glenmore commented:
It will be claimed that, like ANWR, the Keystone pipeline would not have any effect until well into the future, and that even then it wouldn’t solve all our problems, so, per envirologic, it should not be done at all.
He needs high gas prices so he can get the people to demand new, punitive taxes on the oil companies. He gets the people to pay him revenue to spend, but they blame the evil oil companies.

Escalating gas prices and Obama’s refusal to support the Keystone pipeline are issues given to republicans on a silver platter. I can’t help but wonder how they will muff it.

retire05 commented:
#45, the Alaskan pipeline which is over 800 miles long, took only three years to build. So after years and years of environmental studies showing it would not harm the environment, Obama sqelched it. Why? He caved to his greenweenie leftists like the Sierra Club that donate big bucks to his campaign. Those unemployed oil field workers don’t.
One other point; the proposed pipeline would increase jobs in Texas as refineries would have to be expanded, updated and that would create Texas jobs that were permanent. If anyone thinks that Obama doesn’t have his hate on for Texas, they only need to look at all the things his administration does (and how many times it sues Texas) to get a clear picture.
Gasbuddy.com charts show that average pump price was $1.61 when Obama took office. For over a year now it has been almost double, and continues to climb. Next step, put pressure on the automotive industry to stop building pick ups and SUVs. Hell, Obama has already dismantled the 1st, 4th, 9th and 10th Amendments. Why would he want to stop there?

for all intent & purpose: Obama is the “green party”
[Not so the Greens. If a group of young, anti-establishment pacifists wiith unusual ideas and uncomfortable answers to hard questions terrifies us more today than Hitler, Himmler, Goering and Goebbels did back in 1933, our terror says more about us than it does about the Greens or the Germans. It indicates that we have failed to comprehend the meaning of Nazism and blind obedience to authority in their full horror, and that we, unlike the Greens, have yet ourselves to learn the democratic lesson that we have taught the Germans so well.]

Efforts Underway In Alaska To Dismantle Sarah
Palin’s Successful Oil Tax Program, (ACES)
[An article in the New York Times today discusses both the call by some
in Alaska to dismantle two of Governor Palin’s energy related legislative
victories and the claim by others that they are responsible for Governor
Palin’s great fiscal record and Alaska’s strong fiscal health.
Current Alaska Governor Sean Parnell is seeking to make changes to
Governor Palin’s oil tax structure–”Alaska’s Clear and Equitable Share”
(ACES) legislation. This legislation replaced Governor Murkowski’s
corruption-tainted oil tax plan. Governor Palin’s plan primarily taxed oil
company’s net profits on production, and its flexibility based upon oil
prices and its tax credits encouraged greater capital development and
investment than Murkowski’s tax structure. Moreover, Governor Palin
signed ACES into law in order to make the oil tax structure more in line
with the state constitution which stated that natural resources (i.e. oil)
belong to the people and need to be developed for the maximum benefit
of Alaskans.]

have any effect on the price of gas.

Never thought I’d see the likes of this “double-reverse moby” posting here.
Usually the mobys at conservative blogs pretend to be conservatives saying outlandish and/or racist crap, so they can say “see! GP allows outlandish racist crap!” to all their liberal buddies.
With O2012 here, we have someone pretending to be an over-the-top commie p.o.s. liberal who somehow can see ALL YOUR IP ADDYS…even though he/she doesn’t own this blog.
It’s entertaining, at least.
The motive of this one is unguessable to me, except maybe “doin’ it for the lulz”.
As the children on the internet like to say.

Re: O-2012

Pick one. It’s either one of those, or this is a 4chan drooling aspie with a keyboard, and limited skills with it, who is doing it for “lulz” (That’s “laughter” to folks with a brain.)
Sasja commented:
Patriot Act.
That 40 bucks is a payroll tax (FICA) cut which means approximately $105B each year it is in effect, is $105B less being put in SS. And there are no mechanisms to replace it. It is a deliberate move to defund SS since FICA is the sole means to fund SS.
Sasja commented:
Reading some of Zero2012′s posts, I would have to draw the conclusion that he is woefully under-educated and possesses an IQ below 95. Which is typical of most Zero supporters.
Patriot Act commented:
Sasja, good point. The 40 bucks isn’t even a $40 tax cut, just a cut in what you’re putting away to theoretically get back some day in SS benefits.
Taqiyyotomist, I quickly tuned out Obama2012, but he did make one good point. If the worst comes to pass, then our tyrannical government will indeed know how to find most of us via our IP addresses. They’re stored in server logs everywhere and mostly point to specific workstations. This worries me, but I can’t sit back and remain silent.
But it’s even worst than that. Browser cookies allow ad agencies to track everywhere you go on the Internet and build up dossiers on everything you do. Unless you take special measures to thwart them, they will probably provide an even richer goldmine of “incriminating evidence” once seized by an out-of-control government.
Rhoda R commented:
I think that the long term goal behind the FICA ‘relief’ is to convert SS from a ‘retirement’ plan, an earned entitlement to a politically controlled welfare program. Putting people who worked all their lives on the same level as parasites who never worked a day in their lives.
American Patriot commented:
Unfortunately, far too many have been led to believe that Social Security was fashioned as a retirement program. It wasn’t. Its sole purpose was to provide income in later years as something of an emergency parachute. What was not taken into account is a basic human frailty to procrastinate and live for the moment.
Washington bureaucrats have repeatedly raided Social Security funds over the years, and they are raiding it again. Now the Twit-in-Chief is trying to convince the gullible that a so-called payroll tax holiday is in the country’s best interest. It isn’t.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
#83 Patriot Act
I’ll admit that I caught that, as well — and I agree.
Still not worried. Cognizant, but not worried. I know what’s coming, partly.
And, like I said, that commenter was a “reverse moby”, meaning he was most likely a conservative “playing the role” of a hyper-progressive (and all-too likely) technocrat.
Quite entertaining, and refreshing, given our usual crop of mobys and nic-thieves.
Worried, though? Never. Not even with my head on the chopping block.

Trust Nothing in Conventional Media
[RUSH: The one thing that makes it work, I mean the Democrats could strategize all they want. If they didn't have a media that was part of their operation, none of this, or very little of it, Joyce, could they implement. You realize this required a debate moderator working with the White House and the Democrat National Committee to bring this off? George Stephanopoulos. Now, George Stephanopoulos ran the Bill Clinton war room. George Stephanopoulos is as down and dirty as anybody in politics needs to be to get whatever needs to be done, done. He may be small in stature, but this guy is not the marshmallow man, and now he's over at ABC, and he's supposedly an objective journalist. He supposedly doesn't have an opinion about things. He supposedly is uninterested in outcomes.
It turns out he is complicit. He is a part of what is a conspiracy here. And by conspiracy, some people have gotten together, they have conspired in order secure an outcome, they're this the process of doing it, it has been uncovered, it's been discovered. They won't care, by the way, Joyce. They'll just deny it and they'll accuse me and others who say this of being extremists and paranoid and all that. But if the Democrat Party did not have their willing accomplices in the media to implement their strategy, they would not be able to get away with all this enforcement and all this advanced thinking and the ability to pull this off. And therefore what you need to be -- and I think you're getting there -- what you need to be is suspicious of virtually everything you hear and read and see in conventional media.
You've got to understand that everything there, I don't care, Washington Post, New York Times, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, LA Times. It's all oriented toward two things: advancing the Democrat Party and whoever runs it -- in this case, Barack Obama -- and, at the same time, defeating, embarrassing and humiliating the Republicans and conservatives. Those are the two things that are the daily objectives of the media in this country. There is no news, Joyce. You don't turn on the news now to find out what is happening in the world. You turn on the news to find out what Obama is doing and how well he's doing it, and how much people love Obama, and how he loves the country and how he's doing great things for seniors. He's putting $40 a month in people's pockets that Republicans want to take out of their pockets.]

There is no possible way that this person will win a second term. Vast oil resources just above our borders, controlled by our friends and he vetoes the Keystone pipeline project? Sure, there are some theories that this oil will be exported straight from Texas and we may not see even a single drop of it but I think it is crucial to at least have a connection with Alberta’s tar sands, because if Harper succeeds with China and they will get their hands on Canada’s energy resources it will be pretty much the end for US economy – OPEC will realize that they have all the control over our oil imports, the gas prices will skyrocket and George Orwell’s predictions about gas price will finally come true.
