Media Works Hard To Protect Obama On Gas Prices

The 90% liberal/Democrat media is sure to do all in its power to protect (NMP) Obama regarding the rising gas prices, which have been high for the majority of Obama’s time in office, and that protection is starting at the Washington Post, which forgets that its cost of doing business is going up and profits are going down: fossil fueled vehicles are used to deliver their dead tree edition


Voters blame president for gas prices, experts say not so fast


How much does the president have to do with the price of gasoline?


A lot, say American voters. According to oil experts and economists, not so much — at least in the short term.


Short term, huh? How about for a few years, and continuing to rise? The average price hit $3.80+ Monday. It’s been above $3 for over two years. Obama’s policies, and discussion of policies, are part of the problem with. He provides no solutions


Today’s oil prices are the product of years and decades of exploration, automobile design and ingrained consumer habits combined with political events in places such as Sudan and Libya, anxiety about possible conflict with Iran, and the energy aftershocks of last year’s earthquake in Japan.


True on exploration: Democrats, including Obama, have done all they could to stop it. Auto design? Auto’s are being designed to be more fuel efficient: that should help decrease demand, reducing price. Nope. Political events? How about a president putting in place moratoriums, blocking drilling, ditching Keystone XL, and so on? Certainly more important for domestic pricing than Libya and Sudan. We don’t even get oil from Libya. Earthquake? OK. But, in Liberal World, nothing is Obama’s fault. The rest of the article goes on to attempt to prove that it is Not Obama’s Fault, and that there is Nothing He Can Do. Even though they blamed Bush for the prices. Heck, Obama blamed Bush

I'm sure everyone in Washington's elite has gotten in on the gas future stocks and are ready to take Americans to the bank! How many insider deals did this gas crisis create?

Surely Obama is keeping the price of gas high to line the pockets of his Big Oil croney friends. Right? I mean, isn't that what they charged Bush with whenever the price of gas went up?

If one more right-wing clown mentions Keystone I am going to scream! Transcanada already stated KEYSTONE WILL HAVE NO AFFECT ON GAS PRICES!! Look on their own reports. The oil proposed to go through that pipeline is oil already pumped and accounted for. The pipeline is there simply to relieve a bottle neck and get it out to the international market. In fact, it will probably slightly raise prices in the Midwest.

strange that when Bush was in office and the public outcry about gas prices was all over the news and the prices did come down. nothing like that happening with the present dude in office, why?
