Of course Obama wants higher gas prices

Oooh, Barry is getting testy.

"Just from a political perspective, do you think the president of the United States going into reelection wants gas prices to go up higher? Is that -- is that -- is there anybody here who thinks that makes a lot of sense?" Obama asked rhetorically at a White House news conference.

Yeah, with all those times you said energy has to get more expensive, and Steven Chu praising $8 per gallon gas, we were kinda wondering when you were gonna pretend to change course. Anything to get yourself re-elected! Then, you can really put the screws to us.

Because new fuel economy standards and Justice Department investigations aren't going to slash prices at the pump. Not now, and probably not ever.

Folks aren't rushing out to buy new cars. They can't afford 'em anyway, seeing as how most of America is still unemployed. Remember the crappy economy? I know it's been out of the papers for the past few weeks as we devote all our attention to the sex lives of Georgetown coeds cougers, but c'mon already.

Everything Obama's done has made the economy worse. He's resorted to fudging the unemployment numbers just to make things appear better than they are. And when that ploy didn't work, he picked a fight with the Catholic Church, and lied about it. Anything to distract us from his abysmal job performance.

Meanwhile his State Department and federal bureaucracy continue to push the U.N.'s Agenda 21 — "Sustainable Development Guidelines" — which, you guessed it, require most of us to give up our cars and move into neat little eco-boxes stacked in revamped urban cityscapes, run by Democratic Party machine politicians. Where community organizers will tell us how to live.

And how do you suppose he plans to get us out of our cars? By raising the price of gasoline. And raising it again. And squeezing the supply. Until no one, except of course the knighted elites of Progressivism, can afford to fill their tank.

Obama's plan is working. High gas prices are part and parcel to his long-term strategy, even if he's temporarily making some feeble noises about feeling our pain at the pump. Don't believe a word of it. The only way to ensure gasoline will be affordable again is to defeat Barack Obama in November.
