Hold On To Your Seats! Obama Does Not “Accept Responsibility” For Soaring Gas Prices…
Because everyone knows it’s never his fault.
Via Beltway Confidential:
President Obama does not “accept responsibility” for high gas prices, his spokesman indicated today, arguing that Obama has done everything he could to bring down the price of oil and blaming the high gas prices on oil price increases caused by global factors.
“The president accepts the responsibility that he identified the next president should accept, which is the need for comprehensive energy policy,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said today when asked if Obama “accept[s] responsibility” for the high price of oil and gas. “If you’re suggesting that there is responsibility for a rise in the price of oil, it’s certainly not because of anything he hasn’t done to expand oil production,” Carney added.

When Bush was in office, the lamestream accepted no excuses for high gas prices. The message from the press was ” it’s on Bush’s watch, it is his fault”. Well, Barry, it’s on your watch. Eat it.
Funny how the left were quick to blame Bush and his oil buddies when gas prices rose….
Today’s history question: who said “the bigger the lie, the more people will believe it?” History repeating itself.
The BS Meter exploded! No oil drilling, No pipeline, No coal. talk about the party of NO!
oh he does love to goad, doesn’t he?
OBAMA FUCKING BLOCKED KEYSTONE PIPELINE!
HE STOPS OIL DRILLING OFFSHORE LEASES FOR AMERICANS BUT CHINA DRILLS IN THE GULF!
OBAMA GAVE AWAY OIL RICH ALASKAN ISLANDS TO RUSSIA!
Didn’t he just tell us high prices were a good indicator of an improving economy. Why don’t we take him at his word.
Same time he is proposing cutting the loopholes and subsidies to gas and oil companies. How the hell can the columnists in the media sit there and listen to this BS without calling him out??
Hmm.. does Obama accept responsibility for ANYTHING he has caused??
@ barbedwhiner
…and refused to obey a Federal Judge’ ruling about off shore drilling moratoriums!
Wait till gas and diesel prices show up in the grocery store…………oh I forgot, all we have to do is get on food stamps…..
Thanks alot you effin 52% idiots who think this commie walks on water.

Children have to grow up before they can accept responsibilty.
Typical liberal demacrat always blame others for the nations problems STICK IT IN YOUR EAR OBAMA
The State Run Media will carry the water for dear leader Kim Jung O on this one as long as it takes for them to re-elect him.
If the Republicans would quit disemboweling each other out a hourly basis, this is exactly the kind of insanity they ALL ALL ALL should be responding to on the same or next day.
Geez, Breitbart can put together a video inside of an hour.
When is obama going to put out gas stamps with the food stamps,if so i want mine,NOW !!!
He may not accept the responsibility, but he sure does get the blame.
Besides, he WANTS higher gas prices to force the public into accepting his green energy crap.
In no way does he want prices to drop.
From a year ago, Energy secretary Chu:

Last week it cost $18 to ship something that I make… yesterday… FedEx … same weight and size… $34!!!!!! I asked her what on earth happened since a week ago… she said, price of gas.
Obummer really doesn’t accept responsibility for anything.
.
@ friday…..you wait…..free phone now for govt. teet suckers, comming soon …gas emt cards for anyone who gets food stamps….
Isn’t there talk about raising the fed tax on fuel?
Didn’t Obama just say that he was accepting responsibility in a State of the Union speech, a couple of years ago?

All the things he could’ve done to stave this off, and he did nothing but the opposite, to exacerbate the misery we’re going through as a nation, right about now.
Some where I think in calif there was some big project for green energy in some giant desert… from what I recall about it, the city or town decided to shut down the plant that supplies the energy… could be nuclear don’t recall and they were all set to do the green project… wind? solar? lol don’t recall… what I do remember from the story ( i think roger hedgecock radio show) they discovered some fox that lived in that desert and called off the project and now are left with NOTHING.
“If you’re suggesting that there is responsibility for a rise in the price of oil, it’s certainly not because of anything he hasn’t done to expand oil production,” Carney added.
Honest to God, does he kiss his mother with this mouth? I really have no clue whether Jay-Jay’s mom is alive, and I don’t care, but I would surely hope that if she is she calls him daily to ask when he’s gonna quit goofing off and get an honest job.
The real problem is they just don’t give a shit that everybody knows they’re lying anymore. Really. They just don’t, and haven’t for about 2 years now. Fucking pathetic.
Why not Bill O’Reilly has been giving him cover all week it’s the oil companies fault…

Clark – +1,000
I’m ready for a united Republican front now. And God help our choice if he/she gets in there and bullshit’s us, is all I gotta say. And I don’t want any quitting like the RNC did in ’08. That still chaps my ass.
I think yesterday’s blaming Rs for turning down the Keystone project took the cake.
I also heard someone last night call into a radio show mention that the fed gov gave a gas and oil contract in Texas to a S. Korean company. The fellow who talked about this said that the company he works with even had the lowest bid!
Bush’s fault? I knew it!
That bastard will say anything. Next up Herbert Hoover the cause of high unemployment.
Too bad, Obama, everyone knows you are to blame this time.
Yeah.
The cheapest gas in town is $4.12. It didn’t get that high under George Bush, but the MFM was all over his case for the uptick in gas prices.
I wasn’t all that happy with Bush, but the media hypocrisy is disgusting and blatant.
Sorry. lp is Nancy. The cat stepped on my keyboard while I was in the kitchen.
Dictators are never wrong and are never to blame for their mistakes.
Architects of Waste, Fraud and Abuse
When he is thrown out he is hoping to cover his back passage with this garbage!! Oh, how the next president will have a field day blaming Obama!! Plus he will be rated the worst president in US history. Also he forgets he has set a precedent; maybe the next Republican president will also make some rules without bothering Congress – to remove the crap that Obama has created!
you need to place the video of Zero stating that ‘Under his energy policy, prices would skyrocket!’
Post it, PLEASE, and make this sticky!
GET OUT OF AMERICA NOW BARACK OABAMA AND TAKE ERIC HOLDER AND JERRMIAH WRIGHT WITH YOU NOW!!!
1.86 a gallon when he took office….

More sleight of hand for American tax-payers:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-17108286
“The US and Mexico have agreed to work together to develop deep-water oil and gas fields that straddle their maritime border in the Gulf of Mexico.
The deal was signed at a meeting of the G20 group of industrial and developing countries in Los Cabos, Mexico.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said it would ensure responsible energy exploration in the Gulf.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon said it would ease Mexican fears that their oil might be appropriated by the US.
The deal, negotiated last year, was signed by Mrs Clinton and the Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa, with President Calderon acting as a witness.”
I am getting sick of Bill O’Reilly giving Obama cover by blaming the oil companies. It isn’t the No Spin Zone. It’s the O’Reilly Spin Zone.
I heard him last night, talking right over someone who was pointing out that the oil companies have a very narrow profit margin, as usual shooting off his loud mouth about things he obviously knew nothing about. I just turned his show off.
He’s been kissing up to the “Won” ever since Obama gave him those interviews. Blah.
Nancy, probably soros or the saudies paid him off like so many gov officials and FOX in general.
If his remaining popularity plunges inversely to the price of gas, I’m willing to pay whatever it takes at the pump. Well, today anyways, hope it doesn’t get much past six bucks, ahh hell, what am I saying? I’m willing to pay whatever it takes.
“I din’t do nuffin.”
“I din’t do nuffin.”
“I din’t do nuffin.”
…typical.
Bill O who? Haven’t watched his sideways take on things for a couple of years.
Bam, on the other hand, is like a child that bites his own arm and points to a circle of friends so they’ll get in trouble. The guy is twisted and there’s no other way to describe him. He’s starting to sound demented, what with contradicting himself on things he said just months ago.
O’s ”Chickens have came home to roost”. I agree with Pendog comment what ever it takes to sent the regime packing.
Of COURSE Obama doesn’t accept responsibility for high gas prices. He doesn’t accept responsibility for ANYthing under his influence, directly, indirectly or by coercion on conditions and others. Obama is a snake-oil salesman, nothing is EVER his responsibility: “he can’t help it if you don’t get better but buy this oil anyway and keep using it because, hey, who knows.”
@Pendog & 43patrick:
ditto.
@Nancy
Hey,, I had something important to say and you ruined it…
commie POS
WHINE,WHINE,WHINE!!!
My God…he doesn’t accept responsibility for anything. Everything is someone else’s fault or everyone else will need to fix something he fucked up to start. The narcissist is just unbelievable.
Some Things You Were Wrong About
Contrary to popular perceptions, things aren’t always what they appear to be, especially when it comes to politics.
Politicians and media commentators have a unique ability to reinterpret reality so that, by the time they’re finished with their spinning, it’s difficult to distinguish the real from the fantastical and truth from baldfaced lies. They don’t change what’s real and what’s true but they often succeed in so muddying the waters that the average observer doesn’t see the difference between reality, truth, and prevarication.
A classic case in point is former President Bill Clinton who apparently confused his fellow Democrats to such an extent that lying under oath was not an impeachable offense serious enough to find him guilty as charged. Every Democrat senator, even those who had denounced his actions, voted in 1998 to acquit.
If nothing else, Democrats stick together.
Obama White House chief flack, Jay Carney, knows the Chicago art of deliberate confusion, obfuscation, and subterfuge as if he were born to the task.
Despite all contradictory evidence, Carney made the startling claim at a press briefing that the president didn’t really reject the Keystone XL pipeline. The proposed project, which would have funneled millions of barrels of Canadian oil into the United States and relieved the price pressure on heating oil and gasoline, failed because those rascally Republicans made it impossible for Obama to approve Keystone.
And here we cynics thought Obama was catering to his wacko environmental buddies!
Even ABC’s Jake Tapper was incredulous. Tapper asked Carney, ”How can you say that . . . if the President turned down the Keystone pipeline? And you blame the Republicans for making it political.”
The White House Press Secretary’s byzantine explanation for his reality-bending is too complex to summarize here.
MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell is as committed a Clintonian supporter as Nina Burleigh but, instead of offering the 42nd president oral sex like Burleigh, offered an amazing, retroactive defense of the Clinton clan.
Commenting on PBS’s surprisingly-honest production of “Clinton,” Mitchell, who never encountered a Clinton she didn’t love, said she felt “nostalgia” for Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, denounced the opposition to Clinton as “vicious,” and bemoaned the actual existence of Hillary’s fabrication of a “vast right wing conspiracy. . . There really was an enemy.”
No one expects objectivity from most MSNBC commentators but that political paranoia, articulated without a shred of proof of the existence of any conservative conspirators, is so far over the top that one suspects Mitchell was reciting from the Clinton playbook.
How any conspirator could plant semen on Monica Lewinsky’s blue dress, could inspire the Comeback Kid to parse the meaning of the verb “is,” or could make Mitchell’s hero lie under oath is beyond me, unless that Democrat thing about fudging reality is considered.
That same studied unreality is evidently a major factor in how the Obama administration is dealing with the unemployment problem and the American economy. With little concrete evidence to support either contention, we’re told both are improving, a view comparable to VP Biden’s characterization of 2010 as the year of a “Summer of Recovery.”
The president keeps boasting about somehow creating millions of jobs with his $787 billion stimulus although no one seems to know what and where they are. . .
