Michelle Bachmann on $2 gal gas

[rightwinger]

So she made a promise that Obama delivered on?

Gotta love Obamagas

Obamagas is the overcharge that still exists. Democrats are sooo stupid.

Republicans promise low gas prices.......Obama delivers

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Because of Obama energy policy the price is still nearly $1 more than necessary.
I'm not sure what the point of the thread is other than the elements at play that have brought oil prices down are the same elements Bachmann alluded to -- in SPITE of Obama.
Obama is the worst economy president in history and relies on Gruberites not unlike the OP in order to hide that failure.

Really? Oh, if that's the case, what was Bush's excuse?

How does that explain the even higher prices of gas in August, 2008 and the steady climb from 2004 until the Stock Market crash of 2008?

Righties just have no grasp on statistics at all. Information is apparently your enemy.

You have no memory and/or have been duped by lefty media.
The rise in prices between 2001 and 2008 was a result of the expansion of the Indian and Chinese economies and their subsequent energy buying power. That put the squeeze on supply. Our drilling restrictions prohibited the US from adding to the global supply in order to help reduce the price of oil. A democrat congress's stubbornness made this most acute when prices reached $3-4/gallon. Bush's reversal of an EO combined with Congress's relenting on lifting the restrictions at the end of Sept 2008 resulted in the potential for significant supply enhancement and the price dropped like a rock. $1.35 on Jan 11, 2009 after $4+ in July 2008. At that point in Jan 2009, obama began his pronouncements of reimposing drilling restrictions in the name of looking to wind and wave energy sources and Salazar officially scrapped Bush's extensive offshore and fed land drilling plans. The price of oil and gas immediately began to rise. By the weekend after the hack's inauguration the price of gas, Jan 23, was already up to $1.79. And it kept rising and stayed up until this summer.

Ahhh, so, nothing that Bush ever did had to do with gas prices, amirite?


Interesting...

Yes. Bush acquiesced too long to the AGW propaganda scam. He pandered to democrat agendas, especially once they regained control of congress. Then he had to move in spite of them. That's what eventually worked. Until obama came along and ruined it with his drilling restriction reimposition.

I'm no fan of Obama but I'm also no fan of stupidity.
Obama inherited one of the worse economies in this country's history. The recession officially started in December 2007 and hadn't peaked until a few months after he took office. Most economist predicted it would take years to recover. The tiny recession of 2001 didn't correct itself until 2004.
Now.
People actually think a president can control the price of gas?????? Gas prices approached $4 under a oilman president!
How stupid can people get?
Seriously, how stupid can people get?

Prices exceeded $4 under oilman president. Because the US was not allowed to access resources that would impact a price decline. Once an agreement was reached to allow for that access, the price dropped like a rock. Along comes POTUS elect obama and his pledge to reimpose restrictions and the price went right back up and stayed up. The only reason they have dropped now is because of added supply that bypasses the restrictions obama imposed.

Bush jacked up gas prices to placate his oil buddies

He allowed them to drop right before the election to try to stop Obama. He knew that once Obamagas took effect, there would be no way for Republucans to be elected again

I suppose your dem handlers suggest he's at it again, eh?
Democrats should not be allowed to vote.

Enjoy your $2/gallon gas libs. But stock up now. Best cost-efficient way is to reuse your organic milk jugs and store them under your bed filled to the cap.

Then you'll have plenty or gas when America has stopped looking for new petroleum and The Saudis laughingly kick oil back up to $140/bbl or higher.

But until then kick back in bed, light up a joint and contemplate your foresight.

Such sour grapes over Obamagas

America is now the biggest exporter of oil.

Thanks Obama!

Bush had his Big Oil masters to serve

He was not about to let Obama bask in the glory of low gas prices

But that was before ........Obamagas

 

[Manonthestreet]

That doesnt even make sense..........sucks when facts dont match your lies........

The Republican plot to undermine low gas prices is unwinding

Thankfully, Obamagas has undone them

You partisan sheeple democrats should have your voting privileges revoked. You root for the party like it's a football team. Blind stupidity.

 

[Daryl Hunt]

Ms. Bachmann puts the old bat in batshit.

 

[Harry Dresden]

When gas is 50 cents per gallon then I will listen. I would love to see the price of oil drop to 2 dollars per barrel just to see what would happen.

lots of oil people losing their jobs?......

Too bad you don't get the sarcasm. Too bad you can't respond to analysis with analysis.
