Making it clear that he (a) doesn’t understand what is going on out there and (b) will remain devoted to his idiotic “green energy” plans no matter what happens – from The Herald News:
…“I’m just going to be honest with you. There’s not much we can do next week or two weeks from now,” the president told workers at a wind turbine plant. It’s a theme Obama’s struck before as he tries to show voters he’s attuned to a top economic concern with gas prices pushing toward $4 a gallon…
…Obama needled one questioner who asked about gas prices, now averaging close to $3.70 a gallon nationwide, and suggested that the gentleman consider getting rid of his gas-guzzling vehicle.
“If you’re complaining about the price of gas and you’re only getting 8 miles a gallon, you know,” Obama said laughingly. “You might want to think about a trade-in.”…
Does this idiot even know what mileage cars get these days? Let me clue you in, Barry, I get about 22 miles to the gallon…and it hurts, a lot, to pay $3.89 a gallon. Its going to hurt even more when it costs $4.00 a gallon. And here’s the real kicker, laughing boy, the more I have to spend on gas, the less I have to spend on everything else…which means your vaunted “recovery” starts to fizzle right quick.
And one other thing, chuckles, if you hadn’t started holding back on oil development in 2009 there would be more domestic oil available here in 2011…no, not enough to make us energy independent, but more than there is right now. We pay more for foreign oil than we do for domestic oil – or have you not noted the difference in price between “West Texas Intermediate” and, say, “Brent Crude Oil”? Guess what, the Texas stuff costs $108 a barrel, the Brent product is $122. And this leaves aside all the jobs and wealth creation we could have obtained by a full court press for oil starting a couple years ago.
Geesh, 2012 cannot get here fast enough…
