Obama’s Obimbo’s* Secret Plan To Soar Gas Prices.
BY CHUCK NORRIS
President Barack Obama’s Idiot-in-Chief Obimbo’s* energy plan involves radically increasing gas prices to the European rate of $9-10 a gallon. And he’s well on his way by more than doubling prices at the pump since entering office in January 2009, when gasoline was only $1.79 per gallon. Here’s how he schemes to double prices again in his second term, with you footing the bill.
We’re all being gouged at the pumps.
And the reason for soaring gas prices?
According to President Obama Idiot-in-Chief Obimbo*, it’s not because of anything he has done: including devaluing the dollar via his disastrous economic decisions, closing federal lands for oil production opened by his predecessor, passing cap-and-trade legislation in the middle of the worst economy since the Great Depression, or refusing to stand strong against the regime in Iran, which controls 20 percent of all global oil supply via the Strait of Hormuz.
President Obama Idiot-in-Chief Obimbo* would do well to take the advice of former Sen. Obama Obimbo*, who said in 2006 about possible $3 a gallon gas: “The time for excuses is over.”
MAYBE -- HOPEFULLY -- PRAYERFULLY, Obimbo's reelection chances will depend on what happens to the gas prices.
Personally, I'd be more than happy to pay $6 or $7 a gallon until next November, if I could be guaranteed that Obimbo won't be anywhere around after 2012.
Chuck says it best: “Get off your gas, drill and vote Newt Gingrich!” (Which ain't gonna happen.)
*There, I fixed it for him.
The policy of Obimbo and his administration to drive gas prices higher, in order to force a switch to green energy, was doomed -- and idiotic -- from the moment it was thought of.
Why?
Because:
1) The “shortage” of gas/oil is only politically driven.
2) It can be changed by another politician once Obimbo is gone (hopefully, VERY soon.)
Any industry that builds up “green energy” under Obimbo’s administration is on shaky ground, politically. The game is over as soon (again, hopefully, VERY soon) as Obimbo is gone... or when someone comes up with a better idea. Frankly, any idea -- as long as it’s not Obimbo’s -- is a “better idea.”
The only thing that would force a switch to green energy would be if there was an actual shortage of oil. And that is the furthest thing from the truth.
Back in the early 60’s, I was reading an Oil and Gas Journal article. The engineer/geologist was writing about how, if we never bought another barrel of oil from another source, we had enough known fields and reserves to last us until well into the mid 2000’s. At that time, I couldn’t even comprehend “the mid 2000’s!”
Remember, he was writing about “known” fields at that time. Remember, also, he was talking about using OUR own oil. Think of all the fields discovered since that time.
Now, there’s a study being done on “renewable” oil and gas and it seems to be proving more than a theory. “Renewable” meaning that certain fields (after becoming unproductive, to a certain degree) are being replenished by Earth, itself. I’ve always had a problem with the “Fossil Fuel” concept, anyway. I just never could figure out how that many dinosaurs and vegetation could die off to produce as much oil and gas that we have that’s “known.”
Go figure.
So, in terms of an energy revolution, this is idiotic at best. If you want people to have the money to invest in a new product, you don’t generate it by killing your economy and politically propping up an industry that’s going to blow over the moment the political winds shift.
Basically, all this amounts to is that Obimbo hates America and that we’re all going to suffer as long as he’s in office -- as if we didn’t already know that.

Kills 20,000 High Paying Jobs.
From Life and Liberty PAC
Afraid of angering environmentalists during a hotly debated election cycle, the Obama Administration has stalled a decision on construction of the Keystone Oil XL Pipeline -- and in the process killed the creation of over 20,000 high paying U.S. jobs.
The Keystone XL Oil Pipeline is designed to increase the supply and availability of Canadian oil in America. Construction of the expanded pipeline alone will create an estimated 20,000 high paying jobs desperately needed in this economic crisis. The project also reduces our reliance on foreign oil supplied by terror states.
Just by virtue of having grown up and having worked in the oil patch, I think Rep. Fred Upton (R) from Michigan has a FAR CLOSER estimate of the jobs created and the barrels of oil we’re losing EVERYDAY. Upton, who is chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, says that the pipeline project could create 100,000 jobs. Upton also said, “Why is it that we’re not working with Canada, which will be producing more than 3 or 4 million barrels a day from oil sand ... ?”
But under pressure from leftwing constituency and radical environmental groups, Obama reversed his own Administration’s approval of the project, and has stalled it until after the 2012 general election.
Claiming more research needs to be done to identify environmental impact, the Obama State Department has been interposed to delay the decision until 2013.
The timing of the planned decision is of course the worst possible example of an Administration that cares more for the vainglory of re-election than for the needs of the American citizens it purports to represent.
By delaying the decision, Obama is attempting to escape a potential no win political situation. If the Administration approves the pipeline, they will lose the support of their extremist Left environmental base. If the Administration denies the project, they run the risk of alienating workers and middle class voters who care less about ideology and more about the current state of joblessness in America.
So, the Obama Administration has chosen to posture as unable to do anything until after the election, when it will no longer matter who they offend.
Canada is losing money everyday that the pipline isn’t built. AND, it’s gonna get built... right to CANADA’S western coast and then go straight to CHINA!
Thanks a lot -- AGAIN -- Chief Idiot of the United States of Amerika!
I got this in my e-mail the other day and thought I’d pass it along (with major editing.)
A lot of folks can’t understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country.
Well, there’s a very simple answer for that... nobody bothered to check the oil. We just didn’t know we were getting low.
The reason for that is purely geographical. We buy the majority of our oil from foreign countries.
OUR oil is located in:
- Alaska
- California
- Coastal Florida
- Coastal Louisiana
- North Dakota
- Wyoming
- Colorado
- Kansas
- Oklahoma
- Pennsylvania
- Texas
Our dipstick(s) are located in DC.
