Obama Wants $7 Gallon Gas!!!!

[Political Junky]

drop your pants and bend over liberals. you voted for it.

Cons love bending over, don't they?

 

[syrenn]

$7 a gallon. Fine.

So long as it is the same price for EVERYONE. NO coupons or discounts for the underprivileged. No welfare gas. No special aid programs. No gas stamps. No gas for mothers with dependent children. No to anything for anyone for any reason.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Well of course he want gas to be way expensive.

AFter all. They must wean us of our addiction to oil. LOL

What does it matter that lots of folks can't afford $7 a gallon gas.

We can all go on Welfare when the jobs really dry up and we are all unemployed.

Of course if that happens there won't be any money to fund the Clowns or the Govt. or Barry Boys left wing agenda.

Hmmmm. Might be worth a shot at that. LOL

And ween us onto.... nothing. There is nothing that can replace petroleum and fossil fuels.

You can't ween a nation off a power source that is almost 100% dependent on for all transportation and a critical physical resource like plastic without having it's replacement ready to roll.

Don't worry, something will turn up by magic, it always does.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Why not 10 dollar gas or 100 dollar gas? Why 7 dollar gas?

Republicans are so stupid, they think that when companies drill here, it's our oil. But it's not. It goes to the world market where other companies compete to buy it. That's right. We don't get to keep it. We have to buy our oil from foreign oil companies even when they drill here.

With all due respect to you, dean....and that is very little. Do you think that the prices would stop with just the gas?
Think about that Snickers bar price, cost of an auto, clothing, the food you shove in your face, and the cost of a hangman's rope to put around your neck when you do yourself in because you realized what a stupid ass comment you made.
just sayin.....

Are you expecting miracles?

Obama Wants $7 Gallon Gas!!!!

HOLY SHIT! WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE! THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING! THE SKY IS FALLING!

It must suck to be you people scared to death of everything ALL the time.....

Simple question...are you ok with paying $7 a gallon?

I'm just wondering where the breaking point is for an Obamabot.

 

[txlonghorn]

So, let's look at it from this perspective...

What would 7$ gas do to unemployment? Minimum wage workers can barely afford gas at current prices. So when it's double the price or more, what will happen to their ability to drive to work?

The same people who summarily reject reams of scientific evidence of global warming will happily embrace as gospel one university study speculating about the price of gas -

because they like it?

lol

Would it be safe then to say, that you do not approve of tax exemptions for children and other dependents? If so, we are agreed on both counts.

Who's embracing it?

Please Name the scientists quoted in the Harvard study too, while you're at it...


Dumbfuck...

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Well, he has stated as much in the past that he has no problem with iot. I guess he doesn't. He's been feeding off the taxpayers his entire life.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

We don't need to tax gas in order for the price to go up. We could just stop subsidizing it. It ain't such a bad idea, if we believe reducing oil consumption is important, whether for economic or environmental reasons. Rather than attempt direct regulation (eg, mileage standards), just stop artificially deflating the price and let the private market respond.

How do we "subsidize" gas, one of the more heavily taxed items we buy? Do you ever read anything not on the internet? Just asking.

Mmm-hmm, boy oh boy here we go.

So you're saying oil and gas are not subsidized in the US? Is that really the platform you're going to stick to? Please I'll give you a chance to run away, but if that's really your final answer, just say so.

Go ahead explain how it is subsidized and then explain why most US oil production is sold over seas.

President Obama has a solution to the Gulf oil spill: $7-a-gallon gas.

That's a Harvard University study's estimate of the per-gallon price of the president's global-warming agenda. And Obama made clear this week that this agenda is a part of his plan for addressing the Gulf mess.

So what does global-warming legislation have to do with the oil spill?

Good question, because such measures wouldn't do a thing to clean up the oil or fix the problems that led to the leak.

The answer can be found in Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's now-famous words, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste -- and what I mean by that is it's an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before."

That sure was true of global-warming policy, and especially the cap-and-trade bill. Many observers thought the measure, introduced last year in the House by Reps. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Edward Markey (D-Mass.), was dead: The American people didn't seem to think that the so-called global-warming crisis justified a price-hiking, job-killing, economy-crushing redesign of our energy supply amid a fragile recovery. Passing another major piece of legislation, one every bit as unpopular as ObamaCare, appeared unlikely in an election year.

So Obama and congressional proponents of cap-and-trade spent several months rebranding it -- downplaying the global-warming rationale and claiming that it was really a jobs bill (the so-called green jobs were supposed to spring from the new clean-energy economy) and an energy-independence bill (that will somehow stick it to OPEC).

Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) even reportedly declined to introduce their new cap-and-trade proposal in the Senate on Earth Day, because they wanted to de-emphasize the global-warming message. Instead, Kerry called the American Power Act "a plan that creates jobs and sets us on a course toward energy independence and economic resurgence."

But the new marketing strategy wasn't working. Few believe the green-jobs hype -- with good reason. In Spain, for example, green jobs have been an expensive bust, with each position created requiring, on average, $774,000 in government subsidies. And the logic of getting us off oil imports via a unilateral measure that punishes American coal, oil and natural gas never made any sense at all.

Now the president is repackaging cap-and-trade -- again -- as a long-term solution to the oil spill. But it's the same old agenda, a huge energy tax that will raise the cost of gasoline and electricity high enough so that we're forced to use less.

The logic linking cap-and-trade to the spill in the Gulf should frighten anyone who owns a car or truck. Such measures force up the price at the pump -- Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs thinks it "may require gas prices greater than $7 a gallon by 2020" to meet Obama's stated goal of reducing emissions 14 percent from the transportation sector.

Of course, doing so would reduce gasoline use and also raise market share for hugely expensive alternative fuels and vehicles that could never compete otherwise. Less gasoline demand means less need for drilling and thus a slightly reduced chance of a repeat of the Deepwater Horizon spill -- but only slightly. Oil will still be a vital part of America's energy mix.

More here...$7-a-gallon gas? - NYPOST.com

It's the NEVER WASTE A CRISIS--of this Administration and very well stated by Rahm Immanuel--who stated that during the economic melt-down to shove down 787 billion dollar stimulus bill that really wasn't--

So tax the crap out of the American public--(meaning 7 gallon gas) and just take over the entire freaking energy producers in this country through "cap and tax."

Got that right nothing more than the old crap and trade

From the posts on this message board, the barry worshipers have no out of bounds

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Why is anyone surprised here about this claim?????

During the campaign he said TWO things about this that burned into my memory about gas prices.

1. He was upset that gas prices rose so quickly because that caused resistance from the public.

2. His ultimate goal was to get to $8/gallon gas.

So why are we surprised this is his goal and he'd use this disaster to help achieve this?

The man's not an idiot... he's a revolutionary working to destroy this nation. Everything he's passed is going to have to be repealed. Hell, everything new back to at LEAST 2006 is going to have to be repealed for us to repair this nation.

It will take a generation, 8 4-year terms, to undo the harm inflicted by Progressives (aka: Neo-Nazis)

He's trying to inflict as much damage as he can before they lose Congress in November

Show me one, (1, Uno, Um) One single repeatable laboratory experiment that demonstrates that a 200PPM increase in CO2 causes warming.

And you realize that that is exactly how every other fucking commodity in the world is bought to right? What's your point?

My sarcas-o-meter's broken. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. If you are... yep. Right with you. If not... when has it ever happened before?

These 3:30am mornings suck.

Yep. I recognize a suicide run. They're hoping that those voted in won't have the political will to repeal it all too.
