Obama worried about those Gas prices?.....

Maybe the Chief has something to worry about?....

.

WASHINGTON, April 5 (Reuters) - White House officials are increasingly worried that rising gasoline prices, and disruptions to the global oil supply, threaten not only the fragile U.S. economic recovery but the re-election prospects of President Barack Obama.

.

White House aides are particularly concerned that if gas prices surpass a national average of $4 a gallon -- and if oil passes $125 a barrel -- the economic and political fallout could dominate next year's presidential campaign and drown out Obama's message of economic recovery.

"Paper or Plastic"?... TAKE the Plastic!!.....

"A new study by the Environment Agency of England finds that those thin plastic bags have a smaller carbon footprint than reusable plastic or cotton satchels as well as disposable paper bags. According to "Evidence: Life Cycle Assessment of Supermarket Carrier Bags," you'd have to reuse a fashionable cotton bag at least 131 times to equal the low carbon footprint of a simple plastic bag. If you reuse a plastic bag — as a wastebasket liner perhaps — they pull even further away as the most green technology."

Besides what happens if you lose one of those "Save the Planet" reusable bags before you use it the minimum 131 times to make it worthwhile?

"Also, as other studies have shown, those trendy reusable bags provide a wonderful breeding ground for E. coli and other bacteria. That is, unless you wash them regularly. But if you do that, as my American Enterprise Institute colleague Ken Green notes, all that bleach, soap and hot water expand their carbon footprint as well."

The oil in our own backyard.....

"If allowed to proceed, it would eventually transport more than a million barrels of crude each day — more, according to Heritage Foundation analyst David Kreutzer, than we now import from either Saudi Arabia or Venezuela, our two largest suppliers after Canada and Mexico."

Why the French take two hours for lunch......

So why is Obama outsourcing our jobs?... "Obamalogic"?...

So now we have President Obama striving to outsource our oil\natural gas exploration, drilling, and production jobs to Brazil while his administration continues to block such jobs right here in America by continuing the moritorium...

.

“It is beyond comprehension the administration would encourage trade for Brazilian oil while obstructing U.S. oil and natural gas development, eliminating related jobs here at home, and decreasing oil and natural gas revenues to the U.S. Treasury when the government is trillions of dollars in debt. The message from the White House to America’s oil and natural gas workers: we’re going to outsource your job.

“The administration is missing the obvious: what makes sense for Brazil also makes sense for the United States. Like every other nation, we should be developing our own oil and natural gas resources. It’s good for energy security, good for the economy, good for jobs, and it will help bring down our deficit.

“The administration says it supports more oil and natural gas development here in the United States, then at every turn discourages it. And today, the White House is making a deal with Brazil for the oil it is not allowing companies to produce here. There’s nothing wrong with buying Brazilian oil, but there’s a big problem when we’re forced to because we’re held back from producing our own.”


WASHINGTON, February __ – API President and CEO Jack Gerard said the administration’s offer to exchange batteries for oil from Brazil reflects its inadequate and illogical energy policy:



Just another example of "Obamalogic"?...

Watch for the "Dem Talking Points" on High Gas Prices this weekend.....

Talkradio host Tom Sullivan had the top four "Talking Points" (blame~game) that the Democrat Politicians will be using while home in their States this weekend regarding High Gas Prices....

.

1. The evil oil speculators

2. The evil BIG OIL companies and be sure to bring up all of those oil leases that they already have but refuse to use thus creating the oil shortage... The Energy Tomorrow site has a good piece by Erik Milito that provides the facts regarding the Government oil leases sold to the oil companies and the amount of money needed to work the leases with no guarantee of oil find....

3. OPEC

.

4. Blame it on the Republicans and the old fallback..... George W. Bush......

Don't look for President Obama...

He will be in Rio for the weekend doing important Presidential stuff (?)

Remember Obama's call for civility?.....

18 Republican senators from Wisconsin report getting death threats after passing bill to end collective bargaining for most public workers

Grothman said he is hesitant to completely disregard the threat given the volatile atmosphere in Madison. A note shoved under his door Wednesday night said, "The only good Republican is a dead Republican."

The letter tells lawmakers to "make your peace with God as soon as possible and say goodbye to your loved ones," warning they will be killed "due to your actions in the last eight weeks."

Amen.....

"Price Gouging" by Who?....

With rising Gas prices President Obama got on the NEWS channels saying that he will have his administration watch out for "Price gouging" going on at the gas pumps... At the GAS PUMPS?!!!

What about the "Gouging" that Obama and his enviromaniac friends have been doing over the years? With the natural resources and technology that we have here in the States and offshore of our coasts we should be doing much more to control our own energy destiny...

.

Obama went on to claim the the U.S. is now running highest oil production here in the U.S. but FAILS to state that his efforts and efforts of his Demoncratic team has nothing to do with the current production....

.

“It’s completely disingenuous to say that offshore production has increased due to anything this administration has done,” Milito said. An increase in public land leased for oil and gas development is “attributable to these decisions to lease almost a decade ago.”
.
Gas price is at $3.45 a gallon and with that I drove past a local coffee shop here in Staunton that I use to enjoy visiting. But with fuel prices going up and cutting into fun money, I will pass this "Obama\Democratic" stronghold and spend my money elsewhere....
