Obama: You People are Worthless and Weak

So yesterday the campaigner in Chief Barack Obama decided to address the nation on the wild increases in gas pricing at the pump in an effort to mitigate the damage to his campaign. He didn’t give a toot about the effect it was having on the economy; it was only until word got out that people won’t vote for a President with 6 dollar a gallon gas prices did he get motivated to address the issue.

And so what was his answer? Not a whole heckuva lot:

You know there are no quick fixes to this problem, and you know we can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices.  If we’re going to take control of our energy future; if we’re going to avoid these gas price spikes down the line, then we need a sustained, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy – oil, gas, wind, solar, nuclear, biofuels, and more- Barack Obama, 2/23/2012

Basically, he argued that what the administration has proposed already will help, but the bottom line is that things aren’t going to change because of government.

Funny thing is, this is coming from the man that proposed that government was the solution to everything already. He has argued government can solve world peace, feed the hungry, give jobs to the unemployed and shelter the homeless. In fact, Obama’s mantra since 2008 is that government can solve just about everything except cure a rainy day—and he has people working on that.

So when the President stands in front of everyone and tells us we are all idiots for not using other sources of energy and gas prices aren’t going to change anytime soon he is acting intellectually dishonestly. How can you argue that government is the solution to everything, but not one of the most serious problems in the last 5 months?

Not that I disagree with the President; he just doesn’t go far enough. Instead of saying that government can’t fix the problem, he should have said government should simply get out of the way of the marketplace and let market forces cure the problem. Of course that’s going a bit far for our socialist President. He would never admit that.

Nope—he is going to do what he does best. Blame Americans:

  That means we can’t just rely on fossil fuels from the last century.  We can’t just allow ourselves to be held hostage by the ups and downs of the world oil market.  We have to keep developing new sources of energy.  We have to keep developing new technology that helps us use less energy.  We have to keep relying on the American know-how and ingenuity that comes from places like the University of Miami.  That’s our future. - Obama 2/23/2012

He practically calls Americans a bunch of nabobs that need to stop driving gas guzzling cars and stick a solar panel on everything. This is the classic liberal argument; that they are smarter and more advanced intellectually and therefore you must do as we say.

Well, there’s one good thing about 6 dollar gas Mr. President. It means people will start to wake up to the realities of a socialist government every time they need to break out a loan to go to work.

Thank the heavens for that.
