Gas Prices - Who do the Democrats blame now?

Who do the Democrats blame now?

When George Bush was in the White House, the Democrats didn’t have any problem blaming the president for any increase in gas prices. In fact, here’s a look at what Nancy Pelosi had to say in 2008 …

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Thursday blamed the “two oil men in the White House,” President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, and their Republican allies in Congress for gas prices exceeding $4 a gallon.

Pelosi, a California Democrat, said multiple initiatives intended to lower high energy costs have passed the Democratically controlled House only to “run into a brick wall” in the Senate because they did not receive the 60 votes needed to overcome Republican filibusters.

“The price of oil is… is attributed to two oil men in the White House and their protectors in the United States Senate,” Pelosi said in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer.

What she doesn’t mention is how gas prices promptly fell to $1.60 by the end of 2008 – right about the time a wave of idiot voters elected Barack Obama -- and have been increasing ever since. In fact under Caesar Obammus January gas prices set a new record last month -- the most expensive January ever at U.S. gasoline pumps. Your pas at the pump averaged $3.37 in January. In 2010, January gasoline prices averaged just $2.71 a gallon. And experts predict that gas will be around $4 by this summer.

Who will the Democrats blame now that they don’t have their two oil men in the White House? Remember – oil production on federally owned lands in the US is down … that’s DOWN … by 40%. Deep water drilling rigs that used to work in the Gulf of Mexico now work off the coast of Africa and Brazil. And some Obama sycophant was telling us in the last election that Americans really needed to be paying the same for gas that they’re paying in Europe.

None of Obama’s past statements or actions to reduce oil production matter now. As gas prices go up they’ll find a way to blame Bush or Wall Street. Ditzy Debbie G will be the first out of the chute.

Of course they'll blame Bush, they're going to use Bush for the next 30 years. Btw, who is Debbie G?

Deb is the DNC chairwoman.

Yeah, that was my guess, I just got confused with the "G" after her name in the article. Hate her. lol.

There is no way they are going to be able to blame Bush, not without looking like complete fools.

Obama's campaign is going to have to get very creative to find a Republican scapegoat on this one.

But rest assured, they use even the most tenuous, if not outright fictional (read that as lie) excuse on why Obama is not to blame.

It's what Democrats do.
