Thanks, Kosh, for finding better copy!!

Are you like, deaf? He doesn't say anything like that there.

The POTUS can't spike (or drop) gas prices anyway, even if he wanted to. Oil doesn't work that way. The price of petrol has nothing to do with the POTUS.

Didn't we just do this? Were you going "la la la can't hear you"?

Obama: I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment. The fact that this is such a shock to American pocketbooks is not a good thing.

The claim that won rsquo t die Did Obama want higher gas prices - The Washington Post

Would he prefer a gradual adjustment DOWN????

From the same "debunking" article...
In both instances we’ve cited, Obama suggested he’s averse to letting gas prices shock families’ finances. In his White House remarks, he said point blank: “I want gas prices lower.”
Has the president taken adequate steps to make that happen?

So what actions HAS Obama taken to make lower prices???
Zero!
On the contrary he has signed fewer federal oil leases
The number of oil and gas leases granted by the federal government in the western United States declined by 44 percent during the first two years of the Obama administration versus the last two years of the Bush presidency, according to a new study prepared for the American Petroleum Institute (API) by EIS Solutions.

It's good for oil companies. But I wonder where we'd be now if American ingenuity had been faced with the same gas prices the rest of the world dealt with for the last thirty years. On to something better, is my guess. But we're not. We're mired in whining for low gas prices.

Yeah....that's all fascinating..the things you "imagine" and the things you "wonder" about...

Now, back to reality.

Oil is what the entire world runs on. There are no viable alternatives yet.

Crippling america by over regulating and purposely inhibiting exploration and production only makes us more dependent on foreign oil rather than becoming energy independent...it also costs thousands of jobs directly and many more thousands in related industries and does not help the country in any way....but obama knows all that.

Good for you. A loyal Republican. Go team!

over regulation and inhibiting exploration is exactly why our current reserves are sitting on record highs.. (ES , just for the simpletons)

go ahead and preach to the RW's, they're the only idiots capable of absorbing your rhetoric ... by all means, continue.

Republican?..LMAO..there's most of your problem..you're completely wound up in hyperpartisan dogma...doesn't matter if I'm a republican, democrat or a whig...The truth is large. The entire world runs on oil and crippling american production and exploration doesn't help this country.

So I guess the far left will claim this with a (D) in office, but watch them change their tune when an (R) gets in office.

And yes presidents/Congress can influence/affect gas prices.

No, they cannot. Other than passing federal excise taxes but the price of oil (and hence gasoline) is determined by the fluctuations of the international oil market as a fungible commodity.

Canada's experiencing the exact same price drop so feel free to 'splain to the rest of us how O'bama and Congress do that.

OP- BS

 

[francoHFW]

It's possible- see W Bush deregulating and allowing out of control speculation, over $4.00 prices just before his whole corrupt contraption collapsed...

[thereisnospoon]

He gives his reasons for wanting prices to be higher right there in the video

I cannot find the video. Probably because it has been taken down.
Obama was being interviewed and on energy explained that his proposals would "necessarily bankrupt the coal industry"....He also said "he would be comfortable with four dollar gasoline"
Obama is 100% opposed to fossil fuels. He has this pie in the sky notion that if he can with the stroke of a pen force us to use other energy sources.
Not satisfied with the pace at which research and development of alternative fuels, Obama wants to ram "conservation" down our throats with a domestic energy policy that can never work, but as long as we're being fleeced at the pump, he's ok with that.
