GOP News Flash: The real reason for soaring gas prices

Because Bush's policies of weaning us from big oil at the time were to give big oil more tax breaks, and let them do whatever the hell they please to us. At least Obama is launching significant programs to lead us to energy independence, and weaning us from our reliance on oil.

There are no programs from O that are leading us to energy independence. His delusions of fantasy world ie solar, wind are supplemental at best. If he were interested in leading us, we would be drilling more offshore leases in proven play areas where porosities and permeabilities have already been determinged through physical analysis.

That is the most imcomprehensible part of the Obama energy policy. He won't let U.S. oil companies drill in the gulf and allowed all those off shore rigs go to other countries and we'll have hell to pay to ever get them back. This has cost us millions of barrels of oil and I think thousands of jobs in some of our poorest states that really needed those jobs. And he has further targeted the oil companies, alone among industries, with significantly higher taxes.

But we're subsidzing countries like Columbia, Brazil, Venezuela, and Mexico who are drilling for oil in the Gulf as well as importing oil from them. (And who got those rigs that the Obama administration wouldn't allow here.) And the government didn't say boo to the Russians who recently announced they plan to do some drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
International economy, don't ya know? Obama was brought up beliving, and seeking that the united States was the incarnation of evil in the world...now that HE is POTUS?

Time to make the United States pay it back...to take them down a few notches and make them like everyone else.

THAT is the agenda.

Don't doubt me on this...
 
Maybe some of it is a conspiracy to knock off Obama? and maybe we will have rumors/facts that prices will begin to fall after Obama loses? that would be great! Can we vision the headline: Gas Prices to fall after Obama loses in November. Kinda like, Economy will rebound when Romney wins.
 

I recommend that everybody listen to that ad one more time before reading this written in May 2010:

While the BP oil geyser pumps millions of gallons of petroleum into the Gulf of Mexico, President Barack Obama and members of Congress may have to answer for the millions in campaign contributions they’ve taken from the oil and gas giant over the years.

BP and its employees have given more than $3.5 million to federal candidates over the past 20 years, with the largest chunk of their money going to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Donations come from a mix of employees and the company’s political action committees — $2.89 million flowed to campaigns from BP-related PACs and about $638,000 came from individuals.

Voters less inclined to blame the president for gas prices

Nice...Where did that gem come from? Ever heard of souces? Of course not. :eusa_hand:

Too stupid to know how to click on the link I provided? What a moron.

Does the fact that oil is an globally traded commodity, and we're now a drop in the bucket, elude you?
 
The national average for a gallon of gas when Obama was sworn in around $1.85 a gallon Today close to $ 4.00 dollars a gallon in a few places it is $ 4.00 dollars a gallon. This happened with the Democrats controlling the presidency and both houses of congress two thirds of which they still control.These are facts here is another one having low gas prices really gets in the way when one is trying to push a green energy agenda.

Keep this graph in that pointy little head of yours.

And perhaps you would like to put that graph into its proper perspective by reading over this very comprehensive analysis by the Brooking Institute, nobody's idea of a rightwing organization:

CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES of the OIL SHOCK of 2007/08

Gas prices are high because that's where obama wants them to be. Every speech is give is not about how to bring prices down, or changing his idiotic policies, it's about his vision of green energy and how he's dragging us into this bold and beautiful tomorrow.

Fool. Just an idiot. I can hardly wait until the moving vans pull up in front of the white house and restores some of the integrity it used to have.
 
"Adjusted for 1979 Dollars"...really Dickhead?

Either inflation adjusted or actual, the data proves that gas prices hit their peak under Bush, in June 2008. It also shows the nose dive as the Bush economy put us close to financial collapse. Just want to provide your circle jerk buddy a reality check then next time he wants to claim how cheap gas was when Bush took office, and leaving out the reason. That's called a lie of omission.

Got it yet, moron?

I'd much rather they put a little control on the EPA.

Why?

There is so much gasoline being produced in the US that refineries are exporting it, and Americans are WILLING to pay 4 bucks a gallon.

How do YOU fix that?

Maybe not a fix, but it can be helped in a number of ways. Something the government could do right now that would help:

1) Negotiate a deal with the oil companies to lower gasoline prices in the USA in return for no export fees or other costs that would reduce their profits in overseas markets.

2) Negotiate with the states to agree on one uniform formula for regular and premium gasoline sold throughout in the USA. When Kansas regs require one formula and California regs require another formula and Illinois requires still another, the refineries have to shut down much more frequently to retool and reformulate the gasoline.

3) Get rid of the refining mandates that most or all sulfur be removed from diesel fuel. Sulfur emissions had been steadily declining since 1980 and were down around 70% when the new mandate went into effect. Why the mandate? Because the EPA thought catalytic converter efficiency MIGHT be affected by high sulfur content in diesel. They didn't even bother to find out if that would be the case. So, instead of leaving it to the auto parts manufacture to come up with an efficient catalytic converter, they added about $1.00 to the price of a gallon of diesel for the refineries to remove the diesel.

4) Get rid of the ridiculous inclusion of ethanol in motor fuels and return food crops to food for livestock and the kitchen table,.

None of that matters as long as the refineries have overseas buyers willing to pay these prices for gas. What do you think happens to gas prices as more and more Chinese, and Indians, for example, actually get to where they can afford a car?

That's what the bottom line says, doesn't it? That's the year where the x-axis begins, doesn't it? Were you home schooled or something? Is your problem that you're too dumb to have ever seen a financial chart which is adjusted for inflation?
