Obama's gas policy

[Oddball]

We don't have enough oil to impact prices in any significant way.

It's hopeless....Let's not even try.

Even if we did, OPEC would immediately cut production to keep prices high, like they do every time there's a decrease in demand.

Every time they try that, someone cheats.

But let's just throw in the towel anyways.

 

[Oddball]

When gas was over $4.00 a gallon when Bush was President all you heard was bitching and moaning about what a hobo he was for allowing the gas prices to get this high. With Obama, hardly anything is being said. What's up with that? Were they bitching because Bush was a Republican, white, and not a muslim or did they show real concern for high gas prices and now that we have a black, Democrat muslim President it doesn't matter any more? Which is it?

I really think it has more to do with psychology than politics. When Bush was in office we had never seen $4 dollar gas before but now we have. It will become a big news story when it starts breaking records.

It'll become a big news story when it can be made to reflect poorly on a president who doesn't have that (D) by his name.

Mr President,
I need to drive a truck for my construction business, can you and the government do something about gas prices?

F you cracker, you need to buy a new electric car sold by my eeerrrrr General Motors. It will only set you back about $40,000 unless you want air conditioning.

Did you send the same letter to President Bush in 2005? And what was his answer?

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Giving Brazil $Millions in American Tax Dollars to drill for Oil is absolutely ludicrous and even a bit Anti-American. This is a President who routinely condemns the "Evil" American Oil Companies. Apparently Brazilian Oil Companies are ok though. What a sad scam. We need real change. Lets hope this happens in 2012.

Obama says you need to trade in your 8mpg vehicle. I'm not sure what he wants the folks driving those big trucks that move our goods, construction type heavy work, or them folks that have those furnace thingies, are supposed to do.

I can't believe the idiot laughs like he's some kinda funny man when he says something so fuckin arrogant and stupid.

He never said any such thing. Only illiterates twist his support for hybrid vehicles as the car of the future into some current policy dictate. You may continue driving whatever wreck on your front lawn will start.

Actually they want to tax you for the miles you drive, and top of the tax they have on gas.

Aside from that, reducing non-safety regs will lower the cost of doing biz that can lead to a lower cost of oil.

Of course he can stop causing the suffering of some unemployed workers by allowing companies to drill for more oil. More oil leads to lower prices.

but that is not the plan. The plan is to make it worse and worse knowing full well all the "green" crap of his is too far off to be a legit source.

There isn't a single thing there^ that's true.

"American Oil Companies = "Evil." But Brazilian Oil Companies = "Good." Giving Brazilian Oil Companies Tax Dollars to drill for Oil while viciously attacking American Oil Companies is just plain absurd. And many wonder why people think this President is Anti-American? Yikes!

What would you like Obama to do, cracker? Are you actually asking the Federal Government to help out your private business? Sure sounds like Socialism to me.....

Well, he could stop printing up money, like paper and ink are going out of style.

Sounds like monetary malpractice to me.

If the Fed stopped printing money, the US Treasury would issue treasury notes again and interest rates would rise quickly as the supply of money tightened. We'd have a situation similar to the situation in the 19th century. Banks would issue notes payable on demand tied to some assigned (by whom?) value. If you didn't diversify your cash wealth into notes from various banks or commodities like gold and silver, you would be vulnerable to losing anything due to collapse of a bank.

NOBODY likes the high price of gasoline, no matter who the **** is president, asshole. The PRESIDENT doesn't set the price of gasoline, nor is he responsible for its cost per barrel as traded on the global market.

I understood that he was asking for government to get out of the way of his business. Government for the last six years has been trying to legislate behavior. Using food for fuel when fuel is available is .... stupid. It is driving up the food prices that drive up the oil prices (ME countries import grains that are paid for with oil money), that drives up the food prices .... vicious circle.

And who is it that lobbies hardest to keep the corn subsidy? None other than Chuck Grassley, Republican Senator from Iowa, who has the mega agribusiness lobby behind him. Don't like it? Call your congressman.

He just promised Brazil $Millions in American Taxpayer cash so they can drill for Oil. Man,what a shitty Anti-American thing to do. Him and his sycophants sit around whining about the "Evil" American Oil companies but they have no problem giving $Millions in American Taxpayer cash to Brazilian Oil companies. I really do think there is something to many people calling this President Anti-American. People better get out and Vote in 2012. Real change can happen. Come on 2012!

That's the twisted story as first reported by Fox, then went viral. But it's been debunked several times, and if you people would ever take your noses out of your right wing information only sources, you'd know that. The US taxpayer is NOT responsible for paying for the deal with Brazil. The financing is in the form of a guarantee to Brazil's national oil company, Petrobres, and it was made by the Import-Export Bank.

So,it's still American Oil Companies = "Evil" But Brazilian Oil Companies = "Good" for you Hopey Changeys. Just seems very Anti-American to me and many other Americans.

You live in a news free zone, don't you?

The government has a problem with your new, high-mileage, low-pollution car: you aren’t paying enough in gas taxes to keep up the federal highway system. Recently, at Congress’s behest, the Congressional Budget Office studied another way to raise money; charge drivers per mile driven, rather than (or in addition to) taxing your gas.

The Vehicle Mileage Tax (VMT) is meant to directly reflect some of the costs of maintaining the highways that are not a direct consequence of the gas you burn; road damage (mostly thanks to semis), noise, accidents and road congestion.

Sound absurd? Actually, a form of VMT is in place on the nation’s toll roads already, and several countries are charging trucks by the mileage traveled. The technology to track where you drive and how far is now available, as well, combining things like the E-ZPass with GPS and wireless networking.

What do you want big government to do about gas prices? Regulate supply and demand? At least the Republicans on board will come on against this.

The thing to do IS to use more efficient vehicles for our daily commutes. Probably no need to force you to buy American, but get some fuel efficient car for non HD use. If everyone, enough people do, demand for fuel will go down and so will prices. Capitalism.

Thanks to the emerging markets in China and the rest of the world I doubt fuel prices will ever hit $1 a gallon again.

Think of it this way. If my 98 MarkVIII got better fuel economy than my 89 Toronado I would be using less fuel now. Apply that to the country on the whole and prices would go down. Obviously if I am driving a 280HP vehicle where a 160HP vehicle used to do I could be doing my part too.

I'm back to siding with you Rambunctious, I want big government to raise the CAFE standards even more to help us support the troops and ourselves.

Bullshit! The thing to do is go to the offices of some of these oil speculators and throw them out of their 20 story windows....just for starters. I'm more of an action oriented person than a whiner kinda guy!

Just sayin....

It is obscene the hardship during this time of crisis that these ghouls are perpetrating on the American public. Especially because it is directly linked to scare tactics relating to how we use our armed forces in the Mid East and North Africa. If you ask me it is straight up war profiteering and these people should be tried and lined up against a wall and shot for treason.. BUT I still like the flying lessons idea...
