Gas Prices

domestic gas production is up, domestic consumption is down....the variables are not in the US's control. Sorry. Newty said he'd get it to 2.50...but didn't say how.

Besides, with that model, prices should fall, not climb. Lower demand, lower prices.
 

HAHA. Still NOT the FINAL report. There will be another report forthcoming at some point.

Nice try though.

I know, Barry doesn't think it's the final report either. And, until it fits both of your's narrative it will never be final.
 
blames the Obama admin for the gas prices.

Interesting. You blame Obama but can't say why. Are you saying that you wan the WH to do more to influence the price of gas and interfere with free capital markets?

Are calling for Bigger Government?

Funny, and here I thought it had something to do with drilling, transporting, and refining oil.. all of which land on that desk in the Oval Office in one shape or another.

Then why is it titled "Final Report"?

:BRR: You can't see what you're missing here. This is futile and I'm done discussing this particular topic.

And you should know by now and as I've stated, I'm all for the pipeline.
 




Sorry, but the spike in gas prices are not Obama's fault, just like the spike in gas prices in 2008 were not Bush's fault. Sure, Obama could do more to permit domestic oil exploration and production, and his doing so might help us become more energy independent years down the road. Increased domestic production might even have an impact (long-term) on the global price of oil. But we are never going to be immune from spikes caused by Middle East instability and increasing global demand in the summer. Gas price spikes are the new normal, and there is nothing, really, that any president can do to prevent them from happening.

The good news is that one of the factors that caused the 2008 gas spike -- a massive flow of money out of the capital markets and into the commodities markets -- does not appear like it will be present this time around.

I saw on one of the cable financial programs that I believe according to the Petroleum Council that the number of active domestic wells and overall domestic production is higher than at any time during Bush's terms. I say that not as a criticism of Bush but as a reality check for several of the Republican presidential candidates who are trying to portray Obama as antioil (well antiEVERYTHING actually).

Just so I am totally clear about this. You want the President to have control over all matters related to drilling, transporting and refining oil?

I doubt that he wants that (not speaking for Cornfield), but those things are already regulated.

I think the overall point of the thread was that BRR would like to see the media be consistent in their treatment of presidents. President Obama has taken far less of a beating than his predecessor when it comes to high gas prices.

Posting daily until I hear a story from the AP or other mainstream source that blames the Obama admin for the gas prices.

I believe America's most watched news channel, read that as THE MOST mainstream of mainstream, Fox News continually "blames" Obama and his policies and his administration. So I guess you're done posting about it daily.

First off, don't improperly chop my posts. Make sure the part you are quoting makes sense, or don't bother.

Second, the leftists were all about blaming Bush for high gas prices, claiming it was payola to his big oil buddies. What I want to hear now from leftists is that it is free markets setting the price and admit they were doing nothing but attempting to demonize Bush for political reasons. But libs can never be honest. That is not in their nature. It is their nature to deceive. And I can think of another word that starts with "demo" who's practice is first to deceive.

You still can't answer why it is titled "Final Report" can you? Or you can't admit that the research was complete and is now being ignored so commie pinko anticapitalists can drive oil prices up by curtailing supply in an attempt to create a demand for alternative energy. Then, leftists can swoop in and tell us we should cut our balls off and drive the misnamed "Smart" cars.
