Tigermike 3,055 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Obama: I’d like higher gas prices, just not so quicklyAccording to Barack Obama, high gas prices don’t really constitute a problem for Americans. He stated yesterday that the reason for our anger is the rapid increase in prices, not the prices themselves. Obama claimed that Americans would have accepted a “gradual adjustment†to the current cost: YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gehaf7_TBAs Obama wants higher gas prices? Do the rest of the Democrats feel the same way? It certainly would explain why they continue to block domestic energy production in oil. It would also explain the bloated Lieberman-Warner bill, which would have imposed a heavy regulatory bureaucracy on the energy industry, along with rationing that would have both driven up prices and held down supply. Mitch McConnell decided to attack this on the floor of the Senate today: YouTube I think we need some clarification from the Democrats on this issue. Barbara Boxer claimed last week that the Democrats wanted to “address†high gasoline prices. Did they want to make sure they rose even further? (Probably yes, that would or could explain the Liberman bill sponsored by Boxer that went down last week.) link Obama more liberal than Hillary, more clueless than John Kerry!

Tigermike 3,055 Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 The interviewer asked him if higher gas prices help us. Obama says he would prefer "a gradual adjustment." That sounds like we want higher gas prices to me. The quotes stay. How can you see something that wasn't said? How about removing the quotes?
