Obama Energy Secretary Chu: I Don't Own A Car 3/8/2012 Energy Secretary Stephen Chu testified today before the House Subcommittee on Energy and Power on the department's FY2013 Budget Request. Chu was asked if he drove a Chevy Volt, a car he praised during the hearing, but claimed he didn't own a car 'at the moment'. http://nation.foxnews.com/stephen-chu/2012/03/08/obama-energy-secretary-chu-i-don-t-own-car Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eQCGFgqSaD4 Then he laughs! Of course not. In all likelihood he gets driven around for free in a Govt Paid & Fueled Limousine Edited by Baldo, Mar 8 2012, 04:44 PM.

http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2012/03/obama-democrats-block-keystone.php Obama, Democrats Block Keystone President Obama personally lobbied wavering Democrats to kill the Keystone Pipeline today. He was successful; 11 Democrats voted with the Republicans to speed approval of the pipeline, but the Republican amendment to a transportation bill was still defeated. It got 56 votes, but needed 60. 42 Democratic Senators voted against the amendment. The Democrats who defected to vote for lower gas prices were Max Baucus (Mont.), Mark Begich (Alaska), Bob Casey (Pa.), Kent Conrad (N.D.), Kay Hagan (N.C.), Mary Landrieu (La.), Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Claire McCaskill (Mo.), Mark Pryor (Ark.), Jon Tester (Mont.) and Jim Webb (Va.). The Senate also defeated a proposal by Sen. David Vitter to allow the sale of leases throughout the Outer Continental Shelf, including off the coasts of Florida, California and Virginia, 44-54. At this point, I think it is safe to say that Barack Obama and the Democrats own the price of gasoline.

Nobody expected that Keystone or leasing plan to pass, they introduce it to create voting records for the election. The Dem's do not have enough votes in the Senate to avoid that problem. Barry getting involved actually stuns me. I suppose it keeps it off his desk, which makes him look worse if he will not sign it, but I never anticipated he'd have to get involved at the Senate level. So sad, they can't have their cake and eat it too. |

A Boston Economist who probably would be lost on a farm, driving a truck, or working in industrial. Meanwhile our Leader says don't blame me! Obama defends energy policies amid gas price pain WASHINGTON, March 12 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama launched the most comprehensive defense to date of his energy policies on Monday, pushing back against election-year attacks from Republicans who say they are to blame for high gas prices that are eroding his popularity with voters. Heralding a report on energy security showing a big drop in U.S. oil imports, Obama acknowledged pain at the pump that analysts fear could lift gasoline to $5 a gallon in some parts of the country and pose a threat his Nov. 6 bid for re-election. "Today's high gas prices are a painful reminder that there's much more work to do to free ourselves from our dependence on foreign oil and take control of our energy future," Obama said in a statement on the energy report. "We have made progress." The 20-page study, which highlighted rising domestic oil and gas production and Obama's steps to lift fuel efficiency, showed U.S. oil imports declined to 8.4 million barrels a day by the end of 2011, versus 11 million barrels a day in January 2009...snipped http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/12/usa-energy-obama-idUSL2E8EC0VI20120312. Never mentions all the drilling was mostly on private land opened up under Bush, he has stopped most permits in the public lands, the drop in oil usage is because the economy stinks, and worse the dollar has been weakened by his economic policies. Other than than putting us trillions in debt he has done a great job according to himself! Edited by Baldo, Mar 12 2012, 08:09 PM.

For a world class Scientist & Nobel Prize winner Chu is a first class political idiot. He shouldn't be in charge of any organization that depends on taxes for its existence. He belongs in a lab. In the real world no one would dare put him in charge of an organization that has to create a profit in order to stay in existence. |

. Putting Chu in charge is akin to putting a celibate person in charge of sexuality programs. Chu is charge is like putting a man in charge of teaching breast self-exams in cancer prevention. It's like putting Obama in charge of a Muslim outreach group, oh wait. Strike that. . |

Obama hammers GOP on gas prices rhetoric President Barack Obama took the bully pulpit on Thursday as he assailed Republicans for suggesting they can cut gas prices even as he can’t, and for dismissing the development of alternative sources of energy. Obama didn’t mention the GOP presidential contenders by name, but made it clear to the audience at the Prince George’s Community College in Largo, Md., just outside the District of Columbia, exactly who he was talking about....snipped ...For close to a month, Obama has been making at least one speech a week on his energy policy, visiting colleges and manufacturing plants in battlegrounds including Florida, Virginia and North Carolina as gas prices have risen steadily, to $3.82 per gallon on Thursday, up 30 cents from mid-February. But public opinion hasn’t turned in his favor. In a Washington Post/ABC News poll released earlier this week, just 26 percent of those surveyed said they approve of how Obama is handling rising gas prices, while 65 percent said they disapprove. The president did a bit better — but still not well — on his overall energy policy, with 38 percent saying they approve while 48 percent said they disapprove...snipped http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0312/74063.html "The chickens have come home to roust!" Local Costco gas station (the least expensive) is $4.20 gallon for regular unleaded Average price in California according to Gas Buddy is $4.345 a gallon. I think you are starting to see a difference in driving Edited by Baldo, Mar 15 2012, 02:41 PM.

. You know I watch program after program, day after day, and there's not a single person anywhere with a Mic that raised the point that Obama blamed Bush for Oil Prices and he and his Dems ran on lowering Energy prices. They line up ten deep to say the President has no effect on Gas Prices, but there's no one on any side reminding the Public that Obama claimed Oil prices were high because of George Bush - and he said his election would bring them down. I am considering dumping cable - it's like a rehearsed show on these programs. . |
