The Price of Gasoline in the USA and Obama's policies

Thank You... yes the gloom of cap and trade hovering as threat again play into this, everything Obama doees can only lead to higher gas prices. seems many here are just deaf to that reality.
again, to those who just cant get it, and are hooked on yesterdays stats. we have never had gas prices this high this early in the Spring and we have never had such an aweful President who makes the oils Cos the "enemy" and is again threatening to take away any tax breaks for oil exploration. etc etc

is China on board? or shall we revist Kyoto.

go ahead an explain it to us.. lol

yes...trucks... like in a fleet of trucks..

Holy Crap I just read a few of your posts and there is no way you can be serious.... no way..wtf..

So what are you doing to spend less on gas?

we are trying to combine the most cost effective routes and or will be looking to put a surcharge on products and services, the usual things to stay in the black..

So explain to me, if you and your wife are able to look at and purchase every single good available to Americans when you go to the supermarket (which is what you have implied by stating you have better evidence than a real study), why are you so concerned with money? You must have plenty of it. I know you are just trying to make a point, but somewhere along the way do you read what you write and think, "Hey now, this sounds absolutely batshit insane.." ?

and how would the USa be competitive or lower on costs when battling with a global market? again I dont follow the logic of how impossing cap and trade on us ( which is nonsense anyway) would be anything but an example of how to fail in a global market.

I honestly dont understand what you are tyring to say.. have a nice day.. Im telling you when we shop for the food and basics the price is going up or they are giving you less of it in the packaging. ask anyone... no need to ask me.. just go shop for basics

So, you are practicing personal responsibility? Then why the whining about the Kenyan usurper raising gas prices?

USa
dont
impossing

again, logic says that the consumer will pay for that with higher prices.. and it punishes industrialized countries to just give money to countries who are not..
Cap and Trade is the other side of the pendulum to bankrupting the country with even more regulation and federal involvement ot pick winnes and losers... its what a Solyndra was banking on..

no doubt profits will be reduced and jobs will be the first to go..thats reality.. thats my issue..

impossing... I love that werd...: )

Again, why are you whining about Obama if you can take steps on your own to reduce your own carbon footprint?

Barack Obama: "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket ...

I kinda like my rates to go down...call me silly

Because the Goracal said my sneakers are still giving off too much carbon..lol...

I am trying to say that you and your wife's experience at your local grocery store is not enough evidence to state national trends in prices. It's not to say that you aren't right, maybe you are. It's just that you are an utter idiot if you don't see how making conclusions based on that alone is more valid than a scientifically produced study that uses proper methods.

Let's make this real simple, you flip a coin twice, it lands on heads twice. You then conclude coins will always land on the heads side when flipped. This is exactly what you are doing. The problem is sample size, you need to flip the coin more (or take a lot more grocery store data from across the nation) to see what the real answer is.

Im an adult my friend, no need to be condescending...go do your own research on the hidden inflation that is now coming to the surface. I will not argue...its NOT just my wife and I and our shopping its everywhere..I was making a simple point with our shopping..have a nice day

This a good and fair read on what cap and trade will cost us in the USA. its CBS so they sure dont shill for the GOP..LOL

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504383_162-5314040-504383.html

This is also a good read as far as my position and is a fair article, certianly not from a GOP friendly source
and its an older article..so now put higher gas prices in and logic tell us its going to get much worse..'

What is the whole quote?

so lets follow logic..Obama wants higer gas prices to push his green agenda to bankrupt coal as the idiot Obama wants us to plug in a Volt ( to higher elctricity rates( coal fired electricity of all things ..amazing )caused by cap and trade, as he invests our money in solar and picks winners and losers..and punishes Co's here in the USA and of course the ensuing inflation or even worse deflation..

Barack Obama: "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket and I am from Kenya and a Muslim, I used to go by the name Barry Sotero,.LOL

I am all for banning Travis at this point

lets
higer
( to higher elctricity rates( coal
things ..amazing )caused
Co's

Again, what is the whole quote? Perhaps you have found out that in context it would contradict your whole point that Obozo wants higher gas prices? Someone who advocates alternative energy sources wants to decrease energy prices, not increase them.

But black marxist muslim kenyan usurper orly taitz

Travis is the reason I think voting should have a weighted system based on intelligence.

True, that would give third parties a fighting chance (Dems and Repubs would lose 75% of their voting base).

The feeling is mutual.. but you sure did look good in that Hope and Change t-shirt!!!

The problem is not technical, and the problem is not sufficient mastery of the legislative intricacies of Washington.
The problem is can you get the American people to say this is really important and force their representatives to do the right thing? That requires mobilizing a citizenry. That requires them understanding what is at stake, and climate change is a great example.
When I was asked earlier about the issue of coal…under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket…even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad, because I’m capping greenhouse gasses, coal power plants, natural gas…you name it…whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retro-fit their operations.
That will cost money…they will pass that money on to the consumers. You can already see what the arguments are going to be during the general election. People will say Obama and Al Gore …these folks...they're going to destroy the economy.
This is going to cost us 8 trillion dollars or whatever their number is. If you can’t persuade the American people that, yes, there is going to be some increase on electricity rates on the front end, but that over the long term, because of combinations of more efficient energy usage and changing light bulbs and more efficient appliances, but also technology improving how we can produce clean energy that the economy will benefit.
If we can’t make that argument persuasively enough, you can be Lyndon Johnson. You can be the master of Washington. You’re not gonna get that done.

"but that over the long term, because of combinations of more efficient energy usage and changing light bulbs and more efficient appliances, but also technology improving how we can produce clean energy that the economy will benefit."

Key part of quote left out and not bolded.

Travis he is basically talking about people like you. Saying how they need to be able to convince simple and short-sighted people that there would be initial costs, but the long term benefits will outweigh those greatly.

Gee wiz master of the obvious..I think we know what the bamboozle is that hes trying to run.. and let me guess you believe him?
I agree we must have a weighted vote..

Thanks!

Yes...lightbulbs!!!!!!! thats what thousands who wont have jobs in the coal industry will need to go buy first!!! LOL.. I knew you would enjoy that!!! and the millions who will pay more for electricity... its all part of the Global Warming agenda.. and who Obama needs higher oil prices...its all one big puzzle and each is a piece of the mosaic of Obamas plan to make sure oil stays high..

No offense but you have to be a complete moron (which I guess most Fox News viewers fall under) to believe Obozo was saying -- in a political speech where his aim was to get elected -- that under his plan, energy prices would skyrocket necessarily. In context, the opposite is true. It doesn't necessarily mean prices haven't skyrocketed, but you claim that a politician running for higher office would actually mean to say he wants prices to skyrocket and is basically that 'if you vote for me, prices will be higher.'

I mean, it's political suicide, so that right there shows you're (or whatever Fox personality is pushing this narrative is) full of shit.

Again, no offense intended, as I like you as a person. I just think you need to start thinking for yourself instead of regurgitating what some talk radio personality pulls out of his ass.

You haven't explained yet why Obozo wants higher electricity prices and higher oil prices. Politicians who want either tend not to get elected anyway.

Dis,
find out who was funding Obama..listen to the speach..its his exact words.. if anyone ever did any vetting on Obama would anyone have voted for him?...it was all snake oil..think about how much money he had to defeat Hillary.. He is all about punishing the establisment and redistribution of wealth.. so yea...I take him at his word.. and this was supposed to be the campanion piece to Global Warming..another hoax..think about it. to most of Obama voters these are "punish the man" issues and plays to his base..big bad energy companies..it sounded great to his base, but in reality these policies are disaster that even hurt some in his voting block..
