Representative Jeff Duncan (R-SC) called out the Obama Administration’s energy policies and explained how they are effecting the price of oil during a recent speech to the House.
In other related news, Obama demonstrated the great skill of flip flopping by claiming he now wants lower gas prices because it hurts families even though he has said in the past that he supports high gas prices. (Videos Below)

Wasn’t Obama supposed to fill up gas in our cars with his stash of Obama money , after paying our mortgages ?
Who cares about gas prices
ninaleigh commented:
In theory, crude is exactly where Barry wants us to be…probably too low in his mind. The problem is it hit too early and may hurt his rre-election…
Bizman commented:
Damn, this really is all Republicans have to go on? Gas prices and domestic drilling/Keystone pipeline? LOL.
Locutisprime commented:
So there you have it. the explanation was there all along. We haven’t adapted quickly enough to the pain at the pump. Just as soon as we get used to be screwed everything will be alright.
WillofLa commented:
You take everything Obama says he wants, is going to do for us, or that something that is to come from his adminstration, and reverse it, and that is what he is going to actually do. He says he wants lower gas prices because of the affect on families?, then take that, reverse it, and that is what he is going to do about high gas prices……..nothing! He doesn’t have to do anything because it’s been because it’s been because of his destructive economic policies that have been part of the reason for high gas prices. He gives a billion dollars(is that right, oh well no matter) to Brazil to help offset their cost for exploration and drilling for oil off their coast, instead of helping our own oil companies for the same expence. He says, “We are going to be your best customers.” at the ceremony for this money he was giving them.
Obama says that he is going to help out families by helping them out with the cost of living and cancels the ‘Cost Of Living’ increase in Social Security checks for over two years. Thanks, you bastard. Then he says all this stuff about he is going to help the economy take off because it’s in such bad shape, which was due to his doing nothing when the Democrats “October Surprise” they unleashed on the American economy and our society in October of 2008. His idea of helping out the economy was to wipe out half of the holdings and savings American’s had in the Stock Market. Half of the value of the entire market was wiped out in a matter of days because he didn’t do what he should have done right after he took office in Jan. 2009? So what does he really do? He borrows a trillion dollars from China to “help control the downward spiral” the economy was on. It did nothing but put another trillion dollars onto our debt, and put another trillion dollars of debt our grandchildren have on their shoulders. Actually the money went to the unions, states that voted Democrat, districts and cities that voted Democrat in order that any costs to union pensions would be fully funded with that money for teachers, and other union workers. But mostly did nothing but help out Democrats, and their states they represent.
But Obama has an agenda. And that agenda is based on Saul Alinsky Rules For Radicals, the Communist Manefesto, and Cloward-Piven economy destruction from overload of payments from to many benefit programs that cost the taxpayers trillions and trillions of dollars in new program costs, and payments to people who won’t work, are Mexican illegal aliens, and unions, cities, and states who Obama believes will vote for him again to keep him in office.
Obama says he has gotten 60% of what he wanted to do. He said he wants the next term to finsh the job. What job? Wiping out America as a viable country that is in control of anything that is left of what it used to control.
Obama is not going to stop the price of gas from going up. This is because he will not allow any conservative bills to be passed through the Senate because he will use one of the other, either the Republican’s won’t allow his economic policies to go through, and will not make Reid pass any drilling bill that would help this country deal with high gas prices because he just let’s Reid do what Reid will do. Obama acts like there is nothing he can do about it. See, Obama always stays above the fray, he keeps his hands clean, he dosen’t have any blood on his hands from all the families he has allowed to loose their jobs from his destructive economic policies, or the financial death that can be worse than physical death because you have to deal with watching your kids starve to death while you live in your car because Obama didn’t try to allow the economy build small businesses because Obama won’t fix the banking laws that would allow people to refinance their homes, etc., etc., etc..
So, now, what was he promising? Don’t vote for this man. He is a Marxist, Alinskyite, and has instituted the Communist Manefesto since he’s been in office. What are you going to do about it?
regularguy commented:
Whatever he says or wants is pretty much irrelevant, what his policies are that promote the speculation are very relevant. His weak foreign policy results in instability and that causes the speculation. His domestic policy of hostility to pipelines, exploration and refining are all designed to promote, via crony capitalism, “green” technologies that fail miserably. We can blame civic-lazy voters for putting this corrupt fool in office and taxing us with high energy prices.

Uber-rich and government officials doesn’t care how high the gas is. Because uber-rich can serve kobe beef for their pet tiger why worry for a 10 dollar gas and government officials can stick the bill to the taxpayers.

How does our food get to the market? Why yes your right, by truck. you think the higher prices in fuel has anything to do with food prices? Nah what a silly thought, no those truck companies and independent truckers are going to eat the increases. Yeah right.
tommy mc donnell commented:
the myth can reverse field better than barry sanders. too bad he doesn’t mean what he just said about gas prices. when he said under my plan energy prices will necessarily have to rise was when he told the truth. anything that hurts the american people that what the myth wants.
hardresetamerica.com commented:
@Bizman: If that *was* all we had to go on it would still be all we would need. There are a dozen things Jugears could do right now, tonight, to start gas prices on the way down but he will do nary a one of them.
Why?
Because he has lost almost all of his support base already and he is trying to at least hold on to the enviro-wackos. What he is too stupid to understand is that the small, radical base he is pandering to is not nearly enough for him to be re-elected.

What are the dozen ways the President can start the fall in gas prices?
Jeffery commented:
The price of gas tripled between 2001 and 2008. Why didn’t the President use one of the more than dozen ways to lower gas prices then?

On Saturday, Carbonite CEO David Friend released a statement on his company’s website declaring that Carbonite had decided to “withdraw” advertising from Rush Limbaugh’s radio show in the wake of his controversial remarks involving Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke.
Since the market opened on Monday through its close today, Carbonite stock (NASDAQ:CARB) has plummeted nearly 12 percent, outpacing the drop of the NASDAQ index in that same time period by nine-and-a-half points. It was also one of the biggest decliners on the NASDAQ on Tuesday.

Sorry Obama: Lots Of Republicans Still Think You’re Not Even An American
Sheriff Joe isn’t the only American still obsessed with Obama’s birth.
According to new polling from PPP, 37 percent of Ohio Republicans, 45 percent of Tennessee Republicans, and 38 percent of Georgia Republicans do not think Obama was born in the United States.
In Tennessee, the number of Republicans who believe that Obama was not born in the United States outweighs those who believe he was not born here 45 percent to 33 percent.
Yes, this is still happening.
Ohio, Georgia, and Tennessee are the three biggest states on Super Tuesday, and they are decisive states in the general election. Ohio gets 18 votes in the electoral college, Georgia gets 16, and Tennessee gets 11.
The fact that more than a third of Republicans in each of these states are birthers is bad news for Obama. People who don’t think the president is from this country are pretty unlikely to vote for him in November.
A look at the rest of the poll numbers isn’t reassuring. In each of the states polled, less than half said they believed Obama was born in the United States. And there are large swaths of Republicans who still aren’t sure about Obama’s birthplace — 22 percent in Georgia and Tennessee and 21 percent in Ohio.
According to the latest polls, Romney is ahead in Ohio, Santorum is ahead in Tennessee, and Gingrich is ahead in Georgia. They’re splitting the birther vote.

Insiders: Rising Gas Prices Bad News for Democrats
As gas prices go up, Democratic Party prospects go down. That, at least, is the general consensus of the Democratic and Republican strategists surveyed in this week’s National Journal Political Insiders poll. Nearly eight-in-ten Democratic Insiders said rising gas prices would hurt their party politically, while a full 96 percent of Republican respondents said the increases would be helpful to the GOP.
How will rising gas prices affect your party’s prospects for the 2012 elections?
Republicans
(103 votes) Democrats
(97 votes)
Help a lot 47% 0%
Help a little 49% 2%
No impact 4% 19%
Hurt a little 1% 67%
Hurt a lot 0% 12%
Insiders in both parties said higher gas prices could serve as both a reminder of and cause of tough economic times.
“Rising gas prices will always be a reminder of stagnant wages, and it makes an economic recovery harder to feel,” said one Democratic Insider. “Voter frustration rises along with gas prices, and tends to be taken out on the incumbent, so even in a recovering economy, this could be a problem for the president.”
“Gas prices could screw up the economic recovery big time, and President Obama will pay the price at the pump and in the voting booth,” said another.
“If what now looks like an economic recovery is interrupted – by high gas prices or foreclosures or whatever – that reality will wash away all of Obama’s advantages,” agreed a Republican.

Obama is covering all his bases. War is too expensive, so Israel must wait, he also wants the Republican Candidates to state what the would do, as he feels there is too much loose talk?
Wants to BACK BURN Israel until after his second term. Well, I believe that his base and this election and the contraceptive issue and any other thing that has happen or will happen up to the elections will be spun and nothing done because Obama fears he will lose this election.
He has been saying things that seems positive on the surface but truthfully, the guy needs the women vote, needs the far left vote and now, there is Schumer wanting Obama to ask the Arabs to drill more and other democrats are asking him to open up the Strategic Oil Reserves.
But real pressure are the middle Classes and the cost of food going up, gas rising and businesses charging more for delivery of goods due to High gas prices. When it hits the wallets of Middle Classes and the poor he doesn’t want this, strain on campaign. But he had to blame everyone and anyone for the problem. Said it was him. Well, this economy is HIS.

President Obama’s Hypocrisy on Me
March 06, 2012
RUSH: Obama’s press conference today, I don’t know how many voters heard it, but it should help Republican turnout in the primaries today on Super Tuesday. Obama’s presser today should motivate people on how much we need to get him out of office. It was a striking, striking press conference. Anyway, great to have you back. 800-282-2882 is the telephone number. E-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com.
Remember Labor Day 2011. What would that be, six, seven, eight months ago? James Hoffa Jr. at an event with Obama on the Tea Party, James Hoffa Jr. told the union to, quote, “Take these sons-of-bitches out,” unquote. Mr. Civility didn’t say a word about it, Mr. Obama said not a word about it, laughed about it, in fact, didn’t he? Chuckled a bit? Well, those, quote, sons-of-bitches, unquote, are somebody’s sons and daughters, these Tea Party SOBs are somebody’s sons and daughters. They are participating in public discourse, and they’re not public citizens; they’re private citizens. They’re anonymous. But it just goes to show the rules don’t apply to Democrats. This is what we were talking about yesterday, the double standard. The double standard is alive and well.

Correction: Said it was not him. He wasn’t to blame and that is the stick. This is also the same thing they said about Bush. But Bush didn’t spend and spend the trillions Obama has. His administration should have seen this coming.

Thank you. I have been on this site for years, now. I have been posting my thoughts and the thoughts of others for a while. The reason I love it hear is because it was the first site where I felt at home and Mr. Hoft viewed things from my perspective, (most of the time).

I can’t believe how badly obama the incompetent screwed up Iraq and Afghanistan. And egypt and libyia and iran and the U.S. for that matter.
4 years of house control by Pelosi and 5 years of senate control by Harry Reid led to 5 trillion of added debt.2 years of unbridled control led to Obamacare and an unprecedented power grab by the presidency.
Foreign policy has made the world a much more dangerous place, than it was 4 years ago, despite having been involved in 2 wars.The answer to a more dangerous world meant doubling the search and seizure powers of the TSA. Furthermore, domestic terrorism was focused upon looking at Vets and Tea Party associates. So confident in their global belief that patriotic Americans were the real terrorists, this administration focused upon rescinding the 2nd amendment by creating a scandal through the “Fast and Furious” program.
Is that the Obama doctrine, persecute Patriotic Americans, coddle anarchists,socialists,terrorists and bad guys, domestically and abroad,while at the same time,remove guns from law abiding citizens?Do we make friends with our enemies and enemies of our friends?Every war we’ve been involved in has been because of some form of this appeasement strategy.How long does Obama think we can ride this crocodile across the water? No doubt, it will be another Republican who has to lead us into another war to fix the mess this SCOAMF and his party has led us into.
As for domestic policy, it’s been about doubling the debt that 200 years of our history has incurred. Obama is deliberately setting us on a course of poverty and destruction only Detroit can truly explain. He hasn’t created a recovery, he has set the wheels in motion for the greatest Depression in our history. High gas prices is only the beginning. When inflation really hits, this will be a runaway train that won’t stop.

And Hussein hopes Willard wins the GOP nomination..
‘The question came with some explosive context: Mitt Romney has called you one of the most feckless presidents since Jimmy Carter.
What would you say to him? CBS’s Norah O’Donnell asked.
Obama, conducting his first press conference of 2012 on Super Tuesday, smiled.
“Good luck tonight,” he responded. After some pushing from reporters, Obama added an extended, “uuummm.” Then: “Really.”‘
Obama to Romney: ‘Good luck tonight’
Good old Willard the vulture capitalist will get those gas prices down. Right.

Barry’s only regret about gas prices, reiterated in several speeches, is they went up way too early and much too quickly. He has never backed down from his campaign stated goal of having US consumers pay European prices for gasoline. He knows
boiling a lobsterhigher gas prices is accepted by the masses when done slowly in incrementally small steps.Ryan commented:
I can’t wait to read all the headlines from MSM highlighting this hypocrisy. Hmmm…still waiting.
FurryGuy commented:
You are so full of something, I know it ain’t muffins.
Average US gas prices in January 2001 was $1.52: http://www.iags.org/gaspricetable.htm
Average US gas prices in December 2008 was $1.61: http://news.consumerreports.org/cars/2008/12/gas-prices-4.html
Yes, the record high during that period was $3.07 on May 6, 2007, primarily because we had no control over supply; we increased our consumption of foreign oil because of increasing restrictions on domestic production. Prices dropped to the December 2008 levels because, wait for it, Bush announced he would EASE restrictions on domestic drilling on public lands. Something Barry has not done, even with empty words let alone actions, and so far has shown no inclination of doing so.
You really need to do some research before you start regurgitating your talking points. Otherwise you come across as a real doofus.
Unless your intent was to categorically make you want to look stupid, then by all means keep spewing easily refuted lies.

They are only interested in correcting the “message.” Their goal is fixed – they are on open throttle, pedal to the metal to crash and burn. That’s what they WANT – to remake the whole thing – but they need to implode it first,that’s why they are in a hurry…before Americans fully comprehend the truth.
The message is ALL about soothing, flattering, misleading people to not REACT until it’s too late.
