As the national average price of gasoline rises above $3.80 per gallon, Wyoming Republican Sen. John Barrasso is claiming that President Obama is “fully responsible” for the price at the pump due to his administration’s lack of an energy policy.
“With the Keystone pipeline, 20,000 jobs, lots of money coming in to investment, putting people to work, and more energy coming into the United States — and yet not only did 11 Democrats cross the aisle, but the president actually lobbied against the Keystone pipeline, lobbied the Senate against the pipeline to the point that he had to stop Democrats who may have wanted to vote for it,” Barrasso said alongside Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, at the Capitol Tuesday.
“The president has been a complete obstructionist on that, and his energy policy, if you want to even call it a policy, has in my opinion actually contributed if not caused the pain at the pump, and he should be held fully responsible for what the American public is paying for gasoline.”
President Obama was lobbying Democrats against a measure that would have green lighted the pipeline project.
Wild Thing’s comment………
Keep speaking out about OBama and what horrible thigns he has done. There are still too many stupid people that do not wake up.
How could the most inept inadequate president to ever hold office have an energy policy? The guy couldn’t develop a policy to run a lemonade stand.
But obama does have an energy policy. He stated it over and over during the campaign in 2008. His policy is to drive prices of energies up to a point where the public will demand something be done to stop the rising costs. Then the Federal govt. can take over total control of all energy resources. Socialism/Marxism. Kill free enterprise, control all means of production. Ration everything. Stifle the markets and destroy capitalism.
It is a plan. The only thing that can stop it would be if obama is not reelected. It seems like rising gas prices would impair his reelection bid. But, I am sure that obama and the Dems have plans there also. The Chicago bunch are experts at controlling elections. They are going to face an uninspiring GOP candidate already wounded by a vicious primary campaign. There will be the usual Dem tricks of voter fraud and their large base of uneducated, govt fed and govt supported welfare types led to the polls by the ACORN bunch. The dead will vote. In large numbers and numerous times. Intimidation will be supplied by thugs of various unions and Eric Holder supported New Black Panther felons.
2012 may well be one of the most defining years in American history. Like 1776, 1941, 1968, 1980.
Bob, hahaha love how you put that and true too.
Tom, I agree, this election year will difine us as a country and God help us all if Obama wins again.
Democrats blamed Bush for gas prices. Fair’s fair.
