Newt Gingrich: Obama’s Goal Is ‘$8 or $9 a Gallon’ Gas - ABC News

This president and his secretary of anti-energy, Dr. Chu, have as a goal getting us to pay European-level prices of $8 or $9. Dr. Chu was clear about that before he became secretary. He wants us to get to be a European-level price structure of $8 or $9 a gallon,” said Gingrich. “He said this week, in testifying in the House, he has ‘no intention of trying to lower the price of oil or the price of gasoline.’ The American people on the other hand would much rather pay $2.50 and be independent of Saudi Arabia than be where we are today. ”

We are in deep-do-do.....

Nice to see Newt speaking truth.

I will never understand why our administration thinks it's a good idea for our energy prices to necessarily skyrocket.

This gives you an idea what honest people are up against, Snooty Newtie makes up a phony quote and the CON$erviNutzi morons call it the "truth."

Well Documented this is Dr. Chu plan. Besides saying " he has ‘no intention of trying to lower the price of oil or the price of gasoline" he says that is not even part of his job description. What to you expect from a person that doesn't even own a car.

Here's another mindless parroting the same made up quote and then embellishing the lie with the claim that the phony quote is well documented. CON$ are the lowest lying scum that ever crawled out of a sewer!

Here is the actual quote:

"the overall goal is to decrease our dependency on oil, to build and strengthen our economy"

False.

$9 gas would destroy the economy worse than anything we've ever seen and Obama would have zero chance of a second term.

As it stands, if Obama can't find a way to lower gas costs to below $3.35, he is done.

If Obama was truly concerned about raising gas costs, he would lower prices for the election and than jack them up.

But there is something talk radio republicans don't understand.

The president doesn't control speculation, nor the demand form China/India that is causing prices to escalate.

You don't get it. America could flood the market with every ounce of America oil and it wouldn't touch the cost of oil. You've been lied to. Our grave was dug when we chose Reagan/oil over Carter/Alternatives. Morons.

$8 or $9 a gallon???.

Didn't Newt promise us $2 a gallon?

Maybe we should vote for him

Are the American People sold on the idea that energy prices should necessarily skyrocket? Tell that to the unemployed or underemployed that must commute 60 miles roundtrip per day.......tell them they are consuming way too much.

That's low balling.....Secretary of Energy Chu said he wants $10/gal gas.
