As gas prices keep rising, President Obama keeps fiddling. Notice in this video how many times he refers to "the truth." To which "truth" would you be referring, Mr. President?
Obama's remarks about Libya is sheer fantasy, since less than 1% of US oil comes from Libya. (How's that illegal war for oil going for ya, Mr. President?) And is "clean energy" the only solution to helping gas prices at the pump? Perhaps to a radical environmentalist. The rest of Americans would like to see a few more options, thank you.
Admittedly, the problem of soaring gas prices is more complex than this video indicates. For example, the US suffers the problem of increased competition with China for Mideast oil.
What does ring true, is Obama's "commitment" to renewable energy. Unfortunately for the American people, this means that his leftist doctrine actually applauds higher gas prices. Obama himself isn't effected by them. The higher prices serve the "useful" purpose of starting to wean Americans from using cars for transportation. And higher prices serve Obama's statist ideals to make the American people even more dependent on government for basic needs.
What this means in real terms is further economic problems for Americans, interruption of business and wealth creation, and increased economic misery for the poor - those least able to afford increased fuel costs. (But hey, we all know leftists only care about the poor when it suits a political agenda.) In Alinsky's radical socialist terms, any means to achieve desired ends are all right, if the ends agree with your political agenda.
Obama's political agenda seems clear enough - screw the American people.
