Why Is Obama Hurting America?

They claim its supply and demand, but Obama doesnt want more supply. he wants to limit supply to increase the price to the levels in europe.

 

I love these silly right wing conspiracy theories.

The ignorance is simply astounding.

 

Trinity; In my mind it's the response your getting that convince me, that there are many American's for reasons of there own, WANT America to fail. I honestly believe Obama, simply want's Socialism and that it's payback for English Imperialism and how he feels, the founders of this Country and our Constitution are responsible for ethnic/racial success, which he relates to continued Imperialism. "Dreams of my Father", may answer many questions.....

Leffe; The tube depicted dozens of policy moves other than OIL, but Obama's energy policy was made quite clear long before the 2008 elections. While many of the responses are claiming draconian events, prior to his inauguration, gas prices were not one. What everyone is missing is that the business world, fearing what was coming 6-8 months ahead has Obama gained popularity over Ms. Clinton, knew McCain couldn't beat Mickey Mouse, began to cut back. Said another way, they started cutting back, long before the inauguration and really, have not yet turned it back on.

 

And because the dollar is worth less. There are too many dollars on the market. You know, supply goes up price goes down.

 

They are almost humorous, almost. But, then I remember how many people on my Facebook share photos of gas pumps showing $1.80 back in late 2008 as some type of proof that Obama has hurt the economy. This ignorance is dangerous, and it's propagating itself because people don't take the time to educate themselves about how things actually work. It's much easier to pass along what appears on it's face to be a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing image, but when taken in context with the proper facts shows nothing more than gas prices collapsed as the the rest of the economy did, and that the current gas prices are the norm, not the exception. That chart that gets passed around comparing cherry picked statistics of Obama's first day and the current day is not as (*)(*)(*)(*)ing as some would like us to believe as well. Almost every number on there is directly related to the financial crash, not Obama's policies.

And it's funny, everyone hates Obama but the only alternative I ever hear put forth has to do with lowering taxes, which is almost always for selfish personal reasons(I don't wanna pay taxes!!! ). Unless you are making quite a bit of money, lowering taxes helps you minimally, sometimes not at all, but it certainly makes for a compelling narrative.

 

This opinion is false dichotomy, lacking merit and credibility. During Ronald Reagan's 8 year tenure as President of the U.S., his economy grew 3.4% in Real GDP growth, outperforming President Obama. Reagan's 3.4% in Real GDP economic growth tops: President George W. Bush, President George H. W. Bush, President Carter, President Richard Nixon/Gerald Ford and President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

 

We're producing more than ever ... what part of that are you having difficulty with?

 

So is it now the Economy or Deficits ... what's it going to be this week?

 

Why does Obama continue to erect barriers to US energy production?

 

Why did Bush hurt America? Because he thought he was doing what was even though he knew & admitted that most people disapprove of decisions that he made.

In this country we've got few making decisions for many. I want it to stop.

 

Because America has seen what happens with deregulation ... enough said!

 

We're also seen what happens when we leave it up to a Comity ... enough said!

 

Welcome to the wild and whacky world of conservatism.

Something wrong? Blame Obama, cuz he a Muslim.

 

We are exporting oil, so what is the issue?

 

They're angry, bitter and irritable ... maybe it's time for a Diaper Change or Breastfeeding Time

 

They need less Fox News and more common sense.

 

It's not an opinion. It is a fact. How is it a "false dichotomy"? Please explain why you claim it lacks merit and credibility. Because it completely undermines your argument? LOL

But not President Clinton. What does this have to do with my post?

 

But we currently export 2.8 million barrels per day while importing around 11.3 million barrels per day.

Exports - see US Energy Information Agency - US Exports of Crude Oil and Petroleum Products (listed in thousands of barrels per day - 2,839,000 barrelsl per day).

Imports - See US Energy Information Agency - US Imports of Crude Oil and Petroleum Products (listed in thousands of barrels per month - 340,000,000 barrels per month).

 

Wow. what a piece of fiction. As others pointed out demand worldwide is increasing, supply also has been reduced due to santions on Iran and all the mess that is the Middle East today. Not to mention the increased money supply will lead to inflation.

While it is true that gas prices have double under Obama, but that has been true for every country in the world so blaming Obama for it is not really logical. Also, those who have travelled outside America know that climate change and global warming is accepted as fact in almost every country in the world. It is only the US right that denies it despite all the sceintific research on it.

Does anyone have an estime of the oil resources in the US. We have estimates of all oil producing countries and all point to the fact that they are depleting rapidly and for the long term, investing in alternate fuels in the way forward for any country. Yet again, it is only Americans who oppose this theory.

 

I agree that pretty much everything he named is bad for America. But let's be honest this is ad-hoc. He just names a bunch of leftist policies and attitudes that are bad for America and says that that's how he would destroy America. I can think of much better ways to destroy this country. For instance;
Monopolize the currency and then inflate it gradually, so that people know there is a problem, but they just can't put their finger on it.
Erect factions that appear to be dichotomous, but in fact, implement the same destructive policies at a progressive rate.
One would play the part of the peoples guardian against unseen foreign enemies such as certain isms.
The other will play the guardian against domestic enemies such as your boss, the weather and certain ists.
Both factions will agree that absolute control over your education is absolutely necessary for your well being, and that you should be severely punished if you fail to indoctrinate your children in the system they have erected for you, and so will you.
Both factions will agree that a substantial portion of your labor should be confiscated and used for certain projects that may benefit and/or punish some of you, and so will you.
But they will disagree slightly on the exact amount the should be confiscated, and the projects for which it will be used, and so will you.
Both factions will agree that you should remain beholden to at least one of them, and so will you.
Both factions will agree that you are to stupid to build your own roads and bridges, or coin your own money, or select your own food and drugs, or raise your own children, or keep your own peace, or defend your own borders, even though you had done all of these things in the past, and so will you.
Now that everyone is properly indoctrinated, I have a KILL AMERICA knob. All I have to do is turn that thing up to full blast and America's dead. You see, whatever those two factions agree on you all believe. So whenever they agree that it's time for you to all kill yourselves, everybody dies.

 

I believe it rests completely with every person who influenced him. Molded him. Parents, grandparents, pastors, Marxist ideological profs, radical homegrown terrorists. Look at his entire package, all sides, his whole life. It is obvious he isn't for America. His vision of America is a life long poisoned nightmare.

Michelle, infamously let it slip, but his outlook is exactly the same.

Tough break for your country, to have this whackjob have the reigns in the middle of such a global economic crisis. Obamacare...at this crisis point in time. Outright lying about the costs. Every nation on the planet struggling at the exhorbitant and quickly becoming unsustainable costs, and this sputtering fool crams hopey changey in place of reality down a nations throat.

This tool should be impeached.

 

I'm not sure I could take enough LSD to fully appreciate this post.

 

Correct, but what is the point?

Obama is not forcing the exportation of anything.

 

The US still imports more oil, but it became a net exporter of petroleum products last here. Because gas prices in the US were too low, the companies that produced gasoline made more money by selling it overseas, where prices are higher. Which of course reduces supply in the US, which increases prices.

But it's all Obama's fault.
