Me, in response, also paraphrased: @$3# you. Liar.
And yeah, we know that you — and probably Bill O’Reilly, because like you he’s a phony populist — will try to divert attention from the effect your policies have had on gas prices to the obscene profits being made by Big Oil fat cats during price spikes.
But we’re onto it.
bowdlerized I think.
For sure, nothing says “recovery!” like falling demand for gasoline.

It’s a circle-jerk of fail. The EPA won’t allow new refineries, the prohibitive price of gas makes every commodity more expensive, including travel and commuting. Demand goes down, so price must go up to keep current pocket linings nice and toasty and good people will ascribe this failure to idiocy.
Smart people will ascribe it to malice.
Newrouter, I see the potential for black market dollars to be made on campus. Verboten snackcakes and sodapop? Step into this empty classroom, kid and show me the money and the Twinkies and Doritos are yours.
This is already happening at some high schools and the thing of it is, the teachers are making a fast buck off of the kids because they know the kids won’t rat them out and end up cutting out their supplier.
Free enterprise. They just can’t kill it.
See, this is what happens when you have to Texas men representing Big Oil in the White House.
Wait; what?
=======================================================
I don’t see the problem here. This is a feature (not a bug) of Obama’s energy policies…
“Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”
This is what he is. Did anyone not understand this?
Cap and trade is not here, per se, but killing Keystone, fighting fracking on all fronts, deep-sixing drilling in the Gulf are here. So is Iran coddling. How can anyone be surprised by skyrocketing oil (and gas) prices at this point?
Oil co. profit margin: 4%
Taxes: 15%
Who’s profiting more from price spikes?
To be fair, oil is spiking because of some concern over supply chain disruption. Consumption can fall and price can still rise dramatically if the supply falls even faster.
Now, why (according to Jay Carney) those darned Republicans killed the Keystone XL pipeline is another matter altogether.
Let me see if I have this right, newrouter and leigh?
Not only is this administration against the B-1 and B-2 bombers*
but they’re against school bake sales? Amazing.
*I s’pose I should’ve said F-22 & F-35 to keep the lament (or joke, depending on your POV) up to date.
Schools have been against bake sales for a number of years, Ernst. At least bake sales of the E-vil home-baked baked goods. There is no oversight in the home kitchen, so they better come from WalMart or we’ll toss them out.

Don’t forget funding Soros’s interests in Petrobras and all other non-USA petroleum sources.
I’d just like to repeat the observation that we’re the only country in the world that does not exploit its energy resources to the hilt.

They must have read The Help and figured there were enough anti-teachers union parents around to take precautions.
Demand is falling and prices are increasing. Hmmmmm. Oh yeah, it’s been a while.
Used to call that “stagflation”.
That’s okay geoff. It’ll be good ol’ fashioned “recession” once the nat’l average hits $4/gal.
Damn those Republican bastards for making Obama kill Keystone XL anyways!
If it is such good news, then why is Jay Carney lying about Keystone?
EBL, he’s a Leftist working for a Leftist. Lie is what they do.
Better question: how can any of us live with them in any arrangement involving trust?
Who needs oil?
Or homo’s devil machines?
I ride the bus.
