President Obama: Republicans Are ‘Licking Their Chops’ Over Rising Gas Prices

Video
» 261 comments

While addressing the issue of climbing gas prices Thursday, President Barack Obama shared that “some politicians, they see this as a political opportunity… I know you’re shocked by that.” He mentioned that one newspaper headline reported that “Republicans are licking their chops” over rising gas prices. “Only in politics,” he added, “do people root for bad news.”

You can bet that, since it’s an election year, they’re already dusting off their three-point plan for two dollar gas. And 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.

He also referred to call so drill (You know: “Drill, baby, drill!”) as a bumper sticker slogan, not a plan or a strategy to solve energy challenges. And the American people, he added, are smart enough to know the difference.

Under his administration, the President continued, “America is producing more oil today than at any time in the last eight years,” with a record number of oil and gas rigs. “We’re focused on production.” But, he warned, that’s not enough, because the oil market is global. As such, instability in the Middle East is contributing to the U.S.’s growing gas prices. “When uncertainty increases,” he said, “speculative trading on Wall Street increases. And that drives prices up even more.”

He also cited growing demand for oil in countries like China as a long-term, far-reaching reason that prices are going — and will continue to go — up.

    Guess it’s okay to make it political in this case. When it being used against you it becomes bad politics?

    Nothing that Republicans are offering would lower prices today. 

    Global demand is only going to get higher so gas prices are going to become even more volatile. 

    Americans should know better. We have been through this before but Americans keep buying massive vehicles. That’s on them.

    Still I didn’t hear an explanation from him on how he planned to combat the rise in prices. Once again he just turns it around at someone else. And it is totally disingenuous to use the “the other guys are rooting for high prices” argument, cause the Dems would never do that(Iraq).

    Isn’t it kind of sick that Republicans in Congress and the GOP actually hope for bad things to happen so they can point at Obama and say he’s a failure?

    Whatever happened to  being a good sport? Yeah your side lost, so you’re just going to complain for 8 years? … and TRY to screw things up for the president? The president represents all Americans, even if you claim he doesn’t represent you. Abroad, he represents us and at home he does too, when people hope for the president to do badly and fail.. they are hoping America fails. Liberals didn’t want George Bush to fail, he just refused to listen to logic and reason and even when people were claiming we shouldn’t go to war, he still did and bankrupted the US. Obama hasn’t done anything like Bush…. hasn’t taken any huge risks like that. He’s spent money but that money is all accounted for, unlike the wars where it just disappeared and no one cared (not even the GOP at the time, the “conservatives”).

    The headline is completely misleading and dishonest, Obama was quoting something he read in a newspaper, which you mention in the article, but you people know most people don’t read the articles only the headlines and then think he actually said this.

    After what you guys did to Toure’ you would think you would try and at least be fair for the rest of the day today, but no.

    Obama Gives 7 Oil-Rich Islands to Russia: Secret GiveAway – Alaska Not Consulted

    February 18, 2012

    It appears Congress had nothing to do with this 7-island giveaway with
    tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich seabeds. The Department of
    the Interior says these islands are a source of billions
    of barrels of oil. Our president and the State Department can just give
    away American sovereign land – Alaskan land. A story like this leaves
    me speechless. I’ll let Joe Miller, a former US Senate candidate from
    Alaska, do the talking:

    http://www.maggiesnotebook.com/2012/02/obama-gives-7-oil-rich-islands-to-russia-secret-giveaway-alaska-not-consulted/

    The State Department has undertaken the giveaway in the guise of a
    maritime boundary agreement between Alaska and Siberia. Astoundingly,
    our federal government itself drew the line to put these seven Alaskan
    islands on the Russian side. But as an executive agreement, it could be
    reversed with the stroke of a pen by President Obama or Secretary
    Clinton.
    The agreement was negotiated in total secrecy. The state of Alaska
    was not allowed to participate in the negotiations, nor was the public
    given any opportunity for comment. This is despite the fact the Alaska
    Legislature has passed resolutions of opposition – but the State
    Department doesn’t seem to care.

    Keystone XL would have taken oil down to Texas for export, it wouldn’t help lower oil prices one bit. The oil it transports from Tar sands is only really viable now oil prices are regularly hitting record highs. Do you think oil found and extracted in Alaska would be sold at below market price to provide cheaper gas for US consumers?

    If the right want lower gas prices, how about you stop threatening to invade Iran and causing more instability in the middle east?

    You are deluded if you think that.  What Republicans want is for Obama to get his head out of the backside of his golfing pants and stop misrepresenting the damage his own policies have had on historically high oil prices, and how if he’d push for stability and growth in our energy production (instead of making it almost impossible to bring up new production) gas prices would almost immediately plummet.   

    While prices should get worse over the summer, it also traditionally gets before in the fall before election day, so if he’s lucky prices will be around what they are now – which is still at historic highs.  I’m having to pay $4.30 per gallon, which is insane.  I live within 90 miles of several incredible places to spend a day, and used to go somewhere at least every other week, the past 18+ months I’ve only gone anywhere twice.  I used to be able to go to Lake Tahoe, gamble, eat, and pay for gas all for under $100, now that barely pays for gas.

    Would somebody please explain to these people that you could drill till the cows come home, but it wouldn’t matter.  Oil is global commodiity, with world prices. The US is now exporting oil, why? Because the oil companies make more money exporting it than refining it in America and selling it here.

    The only way to change all of this is to:
    1.  use less oil
    2,  get better gas milage
    3.  find alternative sources of energy
    4. or just invade all the arab countries and just take their oil and make them slaves just like the early American’s did when they imported slaves from Africa. Of course, there might be a little negativity about the last point.

    Israel ‘s rabid saber rattling  is forcing the price of gas way higher than market forces
    currently dictate.  The only reason that gasoline prices aren’t $ 2.00 -
    $2.50 is the constant drone of war threats by the neocons over
    Iran’s legal, inspected, and non-threatening nuclear program. 

    The
    U.S. is currently exporting a million gallons a day of REFINED product -
    unprecedented lack of demand due to the crippled economy;

    New
    supply from the Bakken field and the Canadian Tar Sands are selling well
    below world market value and coming online at record pace.  This should
    spell dramatically lower prices at the pump, but it isn’t because
    futures in oil are being forced up over fear of a disruption in the
    Middle East. 

    This will intensify as the AIPAC tuchas kissing fest its D.C. on March 6, with Bibi in town.

    Good luck convincing some Republicans/Cons on this site that gas prices are controlled GLOBALLY and not by the US.  Most R/C on this site forget that America (aside from Israel) shares the planet with other nations.   That other nations use gas.  That production has been down in certain areas of the world.  Etc.  Here’s sample primer on why/how the controls of gas pricing in the world aren’t as simple as one thinks (http://www.investopedia.com/articles/economics/08/gas-price-emails.asp#axzz1nF4Hz95I)

    Hey sweatpea
    In 1977 the Soviets eagerly accepted the concept of the proposed maritime boundary line,
    but no formal agreement was reached until 1990. The executive agreement between Secretary of State James A. Baker III and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard
    Shevardnadze signed on June 1, 1990, to take effect on June 15, 1990. It
    purported to execute all of the terms of the “Agreement” (proposed treaty signed
    on the same date) “pending the entry into force of that Agreement”. 
    [See the Proposed Treaty.]  Being an executive agreement, it can be rescinded at any time by either party unilaterally.  It is currentlybeing enforced by the State Department on
    various federal agencies.  This executive agreement was hidden from the public and Congress for nearly two years after it was signed in June 1990.  It was not disclosed in any public news release when it was signed in June 1990.  It was not mentioned in the President George Bush’s transmittal of the proposed treaty Agreement to the Senate.  It was not mentioned in any testimony at the Senate hearing on the proposed treaty agreement by the State Department in June 1991.  It was not mentioned in the committee Report on that hearing.  It was not mentioned in the full Senate debate in
    September 1991.

    Keep hanging your hope on that.  The Republican vote is split right now and independents largely aren’t invested.  Once a single candidate is chosen at the convention it’ll at best be 50/50 until campaign season heats up, then Obama will be in the negative and only if lucky will rebound around election day.

     the refineries at Houston are at full production, this pipeline would merely change the foreign source from Venezuela to Canada.  a good idea perhaps but no change in overall supply or price.  furthermore oil sands oil is thick and corrosive and must be piped at high temp and pressure and as such has 3 times the failure rate and far higher cleanup costs,  it sinks in water, no skimming

    Okay JustAsking2012, Iran is the only nation in the middle east whose government murders its own people and has ties to terrorism, I’m glad you clarified that. All the people involved all recent terrorist attacks that have killed American citizens have been Iranian or sponsored by either rich Iranians or the Iranian Government and Saudi Arabia hasn’t been involved in any attacks in any way.

    When people more reputable than veteran Republicans start warning that
    Iran is close to a nuclear weapon, I may start taking the threat more
    seriously  From where I’m standing, it seems like the same old lines we heard the last time but yeah, it’s totally real this time.

    No. Tank the economy to take it over, silly. Crony Socialism 101. How’d that work out for the communists in history, again?


    A California lawmaker who got a communist dictator to harbor a
    cop-murdering Black Panther fugitive and accused the CIA of selling
    crack cocaine in black neighborhoods has become the laughing stock of
    Congress for threatening to nationalize the oil industry.

    California’s most influential black lawmaker, Democrat Representative Maxine Waters,
    made the threat during recent congressional hearings with oil company
    executives. She said the federal government would take over their
    industry if they failed to do something to stop the escalating price of
    gasoline.

    In her own words:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKh7uqucArk

    Well, she obviously realized that she slipped up by showing where she really stands politically by using the word “socialize.” She said the magic word, bit the poison pill and it was bitter. Did you see how quickly she tried to move away from that word? She then could not find the word that she really intended to use, and that word is “nationalize.” Not that nationalize is any better of a word than socialize, they both mean the same thing. What they mean is exactly what Maxine Waters went on to say, that she wanted the government to take over and run their companies for them.

    Not out of context, but In her own words:

    Politicians – especially the R’s – are salivating over the high cost of gasoline.  Anything to further their agenda.  I see so many bloggers who can never feel joy over the stock market going up or the unemployment figures going down.

    While not the best I always see it as better than getting even worse.  This nation will have to crawl before it can walk – and walk before it can run.

    It saddens me to think that the opposing team wants this president to fail – for their agenda – but I think that to be true.  I’ve seen too much of it over these last 3 years.

    I didn’t like it when it happened to any other president – but have seen it much more with this one.

It makes me mad when they get on TV lying like they do because they know that people are lazy and will either accept or reject a position without doing any research.

    Israel needs to make peace with the region, then go on to be the economic powerhouse that will benefit all of them. They need to sign the NNP treaty and they need to allow inspections of Dimona, if they expect the Iranians to honor same.

    You do know that after the U.S., and Israel, Iran has more Jews , living peacefully and prosperously , than any other country in the world.

    When you really look close at the world oil price situation, you see that the Saud, the Iranians, the Russians and the Venezuelans all need oil prices of 95+ to balance their budgets. And I’m sure that the Israeli banks are doing just fine in the oil futures market!

    What about the potential people that pipeline might have harmed? Just because the Oil Companies says that Fracking is ‘safe’ and that they have done their own ‘research’, so ‘trust us’? It’s not like they have a BILLION dollar profit motive to lie?

    Some experts are worried that this pipeline is dangerously close to a major mid-western aquifer. And people from around the country HAVE gotten sick. Should we risk hundreds of thousands of American lives on what ANY profit-driven corporation’s research says? How long did it take Big Tobacco to admit smoking’s relation to ling cancer, something that they had know for decades?

    Why not have a big open Congressional hearing and let both sides have their say before we possibly poison half the mid-west? What does Big Oil and Gas have to hide if it’s so safe’?

    ANYBODY: Why do conservatives trust everything a BILLION dollar for-profit corporation tells them, but when Al Gore or ANY environmentalist talks about Green Energy, they immediately go to the taking point about the millions of dollars that they make off of “that Global Warming myth”? Why the skepticism about Al Gore’s making millions vs. the Oil companies’ making BILLIONS? As if the environmentalists are the only ones with a financial motive and it’s the multi-national multi-billion dollar tax-payer subsidized oil companies that are the ‘real victims’?

    There is not really a better option, we cant occupy them, sanctions wont work. I am against USA initiating nuclear war but 100% behind Israels launching a full scale assault on Iran and any nation that supports them.

    Do you honestly believe that China ( which needs oil more than we do) or Russia will sit idlely by and allow Iran to be bombed to smitherens or that Arabs from other countries won’t attack Israel?

    Besides Israel would have to fly over Iraq and with Iran expanding it’s influence over Iraq
    Are you really John Bolton?

    Maybe if he apologizes to the Iranians and all the other Islamic despots we can get FREE oil.
    What a total failure this bozo is.
    Drill…Baby…Drill is a plan….his plan is to exhaust our emergency oil reserves and make us even MORE vulnerable to attack.

    If Obama is able to get Congress to pass more restrictive regulations on Wall St. speculations, he would win in a land slide. But since he is convinced the green energy route is the way to go no matter how many people suffer, his reelection may be at risk. Wall St. is made up of both Republicans and Democrat speculators, one party does not dominate trading. In fact the Democrats are the richest party by far. According to Forbes 1/8/2011,  Of the top 20 richest people in America, 25% are Republicans and 75% are Democrats. Democrats have a combined net worth of $263.1 billion dollars, Republicans $143.9 billion dollars.

    Earthquakes are caused by the earth’s plates moving, not fracking. Fracking can be done safely if different chemicals are used. Natural gas is the best source of energy for now and the future. All present day internal combustion  motor vehicle engines can run cleanly on it with a moderate cost of conversion.

    Try 39 years, 1973 is when the oil embargo hit us. The government has done nothing about it since.

    You are correct, Congress had a bill to regulate speculators in 1998. Bush said he would veto it and it died in Congress. If Obama got Congress to pass that bill today, he would surely win reelection.

    Obama has never been a man of substance. Look at his record in Illinois and Congress. He rarely voted for anything, most of the time he voted present or not at all. This is the man you voted for to lead the most powerful nation on earth ? Unbelievable, a disaster waiting to happen.

    How do you figure that?  They wanted Obama to make a dicision instead of having his thumb up his ass, so, to make the Repubs angry, he nixed it.  The ignorance of the Left always amazes me.

    As is typical with this Loser we have as our NonLeader, Obambi is blaming someone else, again!  If he was any type of man, he would admit his failures, but, we know who has the testicles in his family, the gorilla skank!

    Hey idiot prez,
    President Obama: Republicans Are ‘Licking Their Chops’ Over Rising Gas Prices

    Read it and tell the truth as intended…. Licking their chops because now the Republicans have a cause to throw you and the other idiots out of office. I realize you did not really get educated and lied about your schools but we still cannot overlook your lies.
