I never said he did or didn't. I said that he plainly did not say that he liked high gas prices like 333 claimed he did.

Please stop the bullshit. If he didnt like he would say something as follows:

"The price is too high for business and people. We are going to do everytrhing possible to bring the prices down and we will do whatever in our power to do so."

But no - as prices are skyrocketing - he says "I would have preferred them TO GO UP more gradally".

What does that mean to you?

You are buffoon. A corpse has more brain activity than you. You think you are somehow intelligent by playing with semantics. Guess again.

Please you moron, just give it up. Word games will not save you from this beat down.

Word games? I am asking you to prove your statement about what you claimed Obama likes. You haven't.

Yet this is a beat down for me? HAHAHAHAHAHA nice try fatty. You are more delusional than I thought. Which I admit, I thought you were quite a lot in the first place.

Continue on with the whining. The crying. The exaggerating. The hyperbole. You know... the usual day to day existence you bring to the board.

"I would have PREFERRED them to go up a little slower"

________________________ _______________-

Why would he prefer them to go up at all unless he likes them higher?

LurkerNoMore · « **Reply #156 on:** January 07, 2011, 09:27:41 AM »

"I LIKE HIGH GAS PRICES"

Not the same thing is it? Seriously you don't understand the difference do you? No wonder you spout such shit.

Hell, by the statement you keep bleating, he didn't even say he preferred them to go up. But instead he preferred them to go up slower. Maybe he didn't want the prices to go up that fast? Hmmm? Another complete difference than what you are ~~lying~~ crying about.

Soul Crusher · « **Reply #157 on:** January 07, 2011, 09:35:09 AM »

Yeah ok you fucking asshat. Saying you "prefer" something is really different from saying you "like" something. Got it.

Keep it up moron - you are sinking even further with every idiotic post you make supporting the fool you voted for.

LurkerNoMore · « **Reply #158 on:** January 07, 2011, 09:42:59 AM »

Preferred it to go up or preferred it to GO UP SLOWLY?

What did your little quote say? HAHHAHAHAAH

Still didn't say he liked high gas prices either way.

Really.... you practice every day to reach this level of stupidity don't you?

Soul Crusher · « **Reply #159 on:** January 07, 2011, 09:52:27 AM »

Yeah, keep telling yourself that fool.

Again - if he did not like high energy prices - 99.9% of sensible people which excludes you and the pofsyou suport say something like this:

"Prices are too high, we will do whatever we can to lower them."

Soul Crusher · « **Reply #160 on:** January 07, 2011, 10:00:07 AM »

Obama: Cap & trade will have "HUGE SPIKES" in energy costs to people.

His words, not mine.

Why would he even propose that if he did not like it? hhhhmmmm? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Back to posting videos again? Minute and second where Obama plainly stated he likes high gas prices.

Really now... after this dazzling display of delusional logic, I am beginning to wonder if you have progressed to solid foods yet.

His stated goal in his own words is to both "skyrocket" and "spike" our energy prices.

What does that tell you moron?

LurkerNoMore · « **Reply #165 on:** January 07, 2011, 10:32:44 AM »

All I am interested in is where he stated he LIKED HIGH GAS PRICES. Those exact words. Like you made claims to.

So far, you haven't provide a link to it. FAIL.

no, but he liked it

3 pages and 2 days later, you still can't back up this claim.

Round and round he goes..... chasing his tail like nobody knows......

Soul Crusher · « **Reply #167 on:** January 07, 2011, 10:43:46 AM »

Its only with sky high energy prices that he can justify and push his cap & trade scams and other "green energy" schemes.

Again you stupid piece of shit, why is he making his stated goal to "skyrocket" and "spike" our energy costs unless he liked high energy costs?

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/commentary/jeff-rubins-smaller-world/how-sustainable-is-growth-with-triple-digit-oil/article1874462/

With oil prices within spitting distance of triple-digit levels, it may be time to reconsider just how long this recovery will run.

The fact that we’re seeing oil at triple-digit prices in this cycle should come as no surprise. After all, that’s where oil prices ended up last cycle before deep-sixing the global economy. But to see triple-digit prices again this early into what by all historical standards has been a painfully slow global recovery must be disconcerting to a world economy never hungrier for growth.

If merely getting back to pre-recession levels of global industrial production has oil knocking at the gates of triple digits, where do you think crude will be trading should we be fortunate enough to sustain this economic recovery for another year?

If anyone doubts how vital oil is to economic growth, just look at what happened last year. Global oil demand grew at two and a half per cent from the year before (almost double the International Energy Agency’s original forecast for 2010).

China alone added almost one million barrels per day to its daily petroleum diet. Should demand grow by another 2 to 2.5 per cent this year, crude prices could easily be taking out last cycle’s high of $147 (U.S.) per barrel.

But the solution is deep water and ANWAR right?

Apparently we want less quality water and air, more chasing the dragon right?

Trump was on the radio and that the OPEC cartel adds a lot to the price and that it is widely agreed that it should be no more than $60 a barrell.

And? Columbia and Saudi Arabia WON'T even look or invest in more well sources until it's consistently over $100 a barrel. USA has no resources despite what you may think, to make this somehow different. Canada has oil but that too isn't affordably obtained or sourced unless oil remains high. Triple digit being the best marker for major investment in that field.

Now please keep crying about ANWAR and deep water when in reality those issues are non starters. USA has no significant oil reserves that are affordably obtained and long term solutions.

Huh?

What you plan on extracting has to be expensive enough to justify the investment, that's just common knowledge.....but, come on.

Ex-Shell Head Says Energy Policies Choke Economy
by Heather Caygle
Houston Chronicle 2/11/2011
URL: http://www.rigzone.com/news/article.asp?a_id=104068

Former Shell Oil Co. president John Hofmeister said that the Obama administration's energy policies and regulations are strangling the U.S. economy and preventing the country from decreasing its dependence on foreign oil.

Testifying before the House Energy and Power Subcommittee, the Houston businessman blamed the administration for restricting offshore drilling after the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last year.

"I believe that the decline" in drilling in the Gulf of Mexico "will be sharper and deeper than what anyone is currently projecting," he told lawmakers. "We have made a horrible error as a country."

Hofmeister was one of six energy experts testifying about the effect of Middle East political unrest, including the ongoing protests in Egypt, on the U.S. oil market. The panelists presented a gloomy view of the America's energy future if restrictions on domestic production remain. The Obama administration lifted a moratorium on deep-water drilling in October, but the government has not approved any projects that would have been blocked by that ban.

"We have a real strangulation by regulation taking place for domestic production at the current time in this country," Hofmeister said.

"It is "absolutely critical to reduce dependence on the Middle East," he said. â??He â??said, for example, that if oil tanker traffic were shut down in the Strait of Hormuz, the price of crude would double or even triple rapidly. Rep. Gene Green, D-Texas, said last year's deep-water moratorium and "endless permitting delays" already have affected production.

Some Democratic committee members said the U.S. should focus more on alternative energy and efficiency.

"The bottom line here is we can't afford to not improve the fuel economy standards for the vehicles which we drive," said Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass. "That is our No. 1 weapon against the Middle East."
