Obama: Republicans “Licking Their Chops” Over Rising Gas Prices, They “Root For Bad News”…

No need to root for bad news with this guy as POTUS, it follows him around like it’s his shadow.

Via RCP:

At a campaign event in Coral Gables, Florida, President Obama says Republicans see rising gas prices as a “political opportunity” and they are “licking their chops.”

Obama didn’t stop there. “They greet bad news so enthusiastically,” he added.

“You pay more, they’re licking their chops. You can bet that since it’s an election year, they’re already dusting off their three-point plan for $2 gas. I’ll save you the suspense. Step one is to drill and step two is to drill and then step three is to keep drilling. We are at the same line in 2007 when I was running for president. We hear the same thing every year. We’ve heard the same thing for 30 years. Well, the American people aren’t stupid. They know that’s not a plan, especially since we’re already drilling,” he said.

Keep reading…

    The last NEW refinery constructed in America was back in the 1970′s. The existing refineries do get upgraded and expanded from time to time but it’s still trying to turn a pile of shit into a salad. One would think, that to design and build a new refinery with today’s technology…..

    It’s all politics and green tree humpers. No other fuel can possibly rate in energy released to fossil fuels.

    Go back to the moon…..mine H3. It’s the best hope.

    Let’s talk “political opportunity”:

    Candidate Obama in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 09/13/2008 –

    Faulting the Bush administration for “irresponsible fiscal policies” that have resulted in unemployment at its highest rate in five years and gas prices that are “killing family budgets,” Mr. Obama said, “We can’t afford four more years of what George Bush and John McCain consider progress.” Criticizing Republicans for their “trickle-down” approach to the economy, Mr. Obama asked, “How much has trickled down so far?”

  15. SparkyCleen says:
    February 23, 2012 at 5:05 pm

    “We hear the same thing every year. We’ve heard the same thing for 30 years.” BUT it was DIFFERENT when BUSH was President, right? Two words Obamass: KEYSTONE PIPELINE… you pig eyed sack of shit!

  16. Bud says:
    February 23, 2012 at 5:06 pm

    How many green commie liberals (like Algore) have said they welcome high gas prices as a way to save the planet? I can’t recall how many times I have heard it preached by liberals that high gas prices were a good thing.

    Conservatives are simply pointing out the simple economic cause and effect.

    Look at that sad sack grifter. He can’t speak at all without reading the prompter verbatim. Though he tried his best to look impromptu and conversational here.
    He just can’t pull it off. He has no idea what to say abt. rising gas prices. He reads what he sees on the prompter. Pathetic.
    How can the audience take him seriously? Swinging his head back and forth, losing his place, his eyes going crazy trying to find it.
    He can’t even bull shit with out his crutch.

    What a scumbag!

    I don’t remember a President who ever TRIED to divide the country.
    That may end up being his worst legacy, at least in this country.

    By the time this election is over, and he thrown out, we may just have a real fighting civil war in some parts of the country.

    I would count on Oakland / San Fransicko, on up to Portland, Oregon, seceeding from the Union.

You and your campaign commies sure as hell dished it out . Now that Americans have figured out who the hell you are , the shoe is on the other foot . Hope you enjoy the landslide ass kicking you so rightly deserve in Nov. . Take your place among history’s other losers .

    Rewind – 1996

    “U. S. Quietly Grabs Utah Land”
    by David M. Bresnahan – September 25, 1998

    “… Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said previously the land designated as the
    Grande Staircase of the Escalante is the “Saudi Arabia of coal,”
    because it contains the largest coal and mineral reserve in the U.S.
    The coal now locked away in the monument has a value estimated to be
    $1 trillion. The area containing the coal is ordinary desert with no
    scenic vistas and could have easily been left out of the designation
    for the monument, according to opponents…: – David M. Bresnahan

  25. Axe says:
    February 23, 2012 at 5:43 pm

    Of course it’s a political opportunity you bonehead. Pointing out the failures of your opponents always is. Of course we are licking our chops over it. But not to simply make political points…it’s vastly more important to us to see the failure brought to an end! We aren’t interested in bringing you down, you do that so effectively yourself it takes very little effort on our part, as much as we are interested in saving ourselves from your failures…which are killing us.

    Stated another way…
    If you weren’t such a failure, we would have no reason to lick our chops, we would be enjoying prosperity and praising your good deeds. But we aren’t. And it’s because of you!

  27. Carolina Girl says:
    February 23, 2012 at 5:45 pm

    Keep saying that, Bummer. We have the audio of you saying you’d like gas to be $5 a gallon.

    You want relief? Ask Congress for a gas tax holiday. Ask your governor buddies in the Blue States to do the same.

  28. Chris W. says:
    February 23, 2012 at 5:45 pm

    And you Democrats were cheerleading on the nightly news with your Iraq Death counts.

    Which is the worse thing to cheer for? High gas prices or dead Americans?

  29. Axe says:
    February 23, 2012 at 5:46 pm

    We certainly don’t want it to get any worse. We aren’t rooting for more bad news at all. There’s plenty of chop licking reasons available without that.

  30. Axe says:
    February 23, 2012 at 5:52 pm

    We would like nothing better than to see you provide us with no reasons to lick our chops.

    Obama said: “Republicans see rising gas prices as a “political opportunity” and they are “licking their chops.”

    Obama didn’t stop there. “They greet bad news so enthusiastically,” he added.

    Dear Mr. President, kindly take a close look in any mirror and you’ll find the direct source of the bad news that’s enveloping the country.

    You have been a nothing president and in fact, Don Imus was spot on when he referred to you as, “and empty suit.”

    Go peddle your BS elsewhere!

  39. Ed says:
    February 23, 2012 at 7:03 pm

    On the one hand 5 buck a gallon, or higher, gas really hurts the average working person. On the other hand, if it works in a big way to toss obama out of office so we don’t have to endure another 4 years of his crap, it may be worth the short term suffering.

    Maybe fix the problem and that’ll take care of the gloating? Yeah?

    You know, I’ve never seen such a crybaby, whiny-ass bitch in my life. I still can’t believe this “fresh-outta-diapers” suckhole is your president.

    @Rufus, I think the last one was Woodrow Wilson, it segregated the blacks in the military. He was a nasty bastard. I love the part about having to photo ID their applications. Just think we might have all this racial crap if it weren’t for Wilson and the democrats.

    Wasn’t it the libtard party that got upset, when they called oil company exces(?) to testify before congress why gas prices were so high? And they blasted on them for taking private jets to appear?

    In the same token, how much does it cost TAX PAYERS to fly Barry to Miami to make a campaign speech out of this?

    Libtards are hipocrits..
