Obama's Lectures On 'Gas Guzzlers' Is Ironic As He Uses More Gas Than The Average American

He Is Potentially The Biggest Gas Guzzler In The Nation Sucking Up More Gas Than Mylanta

President Barack Obama: I don't fly that high

President Barack Obama has been lecturing and "mocking" political opponents and Americans in general, on the ills of modes of transportation that are "gas guzzlers" labeling such folks "Flat Earthers" (the only thing "flat" is your jump shot). This is ironic, as President Obama uses more gas than the average American, courtesy of Air Force One and the presidential limo. That's right, I'm going there tonight with this article and it's partly due to the fact I have PMS and somebody is going to pay for that!

Air Force One is a beautiful aircraft, but nonetheless, it is a gas guzzler

Now, I'm not knocking Obama for flying in Air Force One, as it is a sweet aircraft that keeps the Commander-in-Chief, Gas-Guzzler-In-Chief safe, but to lecture everyone else on "gas guzzlers" where you suck up more gas than two hundred Americans on a commercial airliner, is, how do I put it, hypocritical.

The Beast

Moving on to Obama's favorite mode of land transportation, the presidential limo, which he dubbed "the Beast." Before I begin, why did he name it "The Beast." Not to get technical, but theologically speaking, "the Beast" is the name of the anti-Christ/Satan in the Bible. But I digress. The last I checked, "the Beast" was not an electric or wind up car. My point, while President Obama dangerously drives up the price of gas, fulfilling a campaign threat to wean Americans off oil (the hard way) he is using enough gas for a few hundred people.

President Obama Calls Oil Drilling Advocates “Flat Earthers”

March 18, 2012 09:40 AM EDT - In yet another instance of President Obama mocking republicans, he calls those who do not support yet more failed green stimulus in favour of drilling for domestic oil "Flat Earthers". During a speech at a college in Maryland, Obama said, "We've heard this kind of thinking before. Let me tell you something. If some of these folks were around when Columbus set sail, they must have been founding members of the Flat Earth Society," he continues, "...I guess they like gas guzzlers. They think that's good for our future. We're trying to move towards the future, they want to be stuck in the past!"

It is not about gas prices, it is about incentivizing people by removing their choices. If gas prices are too high, they actually work to the benefit of this mentality.

Mitt Romney Accuses President Barack Obama Of Driving Up Gas Prices To Get Americans Off Oil

Republican candidate and nomination frontrunner, Mitt Romney, is accusing President Barack Obama of fulfilling a 2008 campaign threat of driving up gas prices, to get Americans off oil, as emissions are allegedly creating global warming. Obama also invested $20 billion dollars in taxpayer money to launch solar companies that failed shortly after, losing the full amount of funds, on more of his unsuccessful energy policies.

This conduct is very unethical and financially unsound, especially during an economic crisis. Rather than turn to science for answers and innovations to reduce carbon emissions, the Obama Administration is guilty of getting carried away with its newfangled, tree hugging, moon baying philosophical beliefs on energy, at the expense of 305,000,000 people.

Barack Obama

It is inexcusable, as gas prices are helping to bankrupt Americans. And we know said energy policies failed because a.) Obama's solar pet project companies went bankrupt, adding to the national deficit and b.) nobody can afford gas - even rich people are complaining. So instead of making America billions, as the Judiciary Report suggested three years ago, the Obama administration is costing the nation billions (Obama Is Conflicted Over The Path American Energy Should Take).

I do believe, by the grace of God, there are scientific answers to these problems, but President Obama only throws taxpayer money at his big campaign donors, who aren't really scientists and have the business acumen and brainpower of Fred Flintstone. The Judiciary Report will not applaud this madness, as qualified scientists and the best and brightest of Silicon Valley should have gotten research and business start up money. Obama's campaign donors wasted billions in taxpayer money the nation will not see again.

Barack Obama

President Obama stated today that America needs to gain energy independence, but this is something he has acted against throughout his 3-years and 3-months in office. The Judiciary Report supported the Keystone Pipeline that President Obama opposed. Later on, former President and Obama's fellow Democrat, Bill Clinton, came out in support of the Keystone Pipeline.

However, this still did not convince Obama, though Clinton had the most financially successful presidency in American history, where people of different classes prospered. A few years prior, in 2008, the Judiciary Report advocated America using coal for fuel (Congress And Bureaucracy).

Once again, Obama has been against that as well. He's saying one thing and doing another. That is not going to help the U.S. economy rebound. He's lost three years that could have earned and saved the nation billions in energy sales, using the natural resources available in America.

Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama is facing significant criticism this month, over rising gas prices in America, hitting the public's pocket in a noticeable way. Critics are stating it is damaging the already battered consumer, as food prices have also risen. Foreclosures and bankruptcies are high as well.

The Gallup polling company revealed, unemployment in America sits at an uncomfortable 9%, three years into Obama's tumultuous term as President of the United States. These circumstances are working against Obama's reelection bid, with the presidential election fast approaching in November.

The Government Is Pretending

Barack Obama

The 2008 financial crisis that continues to devastate the U.S. economy, has shown the nation and the world that Washington is experiencing tremendous difficulty in tackling the economic problems besetting America.

In a problem that originated with and due to the policies of former President George W. Bush and has persisted through the presidency of incumbent, Barack Obama, many people are genuinely suffering under extraordinary financial hardships that never should have happened.

Republican House Speaker John Boehner and President Barack Obama

The people did what was asked of them by working and paying their taxes, but due to abusive financial conduct by the corporate sector, permitted by the White House and Congress, mortgage rates were unreasonably reset to backbreaking levels, gouging millions of people into foreclosure and financial ruin. The American dream of owning one's own home has been shattered for millions, with an unprecedented number of foreclosures.

The cost of living in America also spiked, due to greedy oil companies colluding to raise the price of gas and making a fortune each quarter in doing so, with the consent of the White House and Congress. Nothing was done to stop the banks or the oil companies from overcharging people for two important services integral to modern life, which spill over into other areas of commerce, such as creating added costs for food, clothing and electronics suppliers that transport their goods using gas enabled modes of transportation.

George W. Bush

Another issue that continues to lurk in the background are a number of massive ponzi schemes defrauding many out of their hard earned money. There have been a handful of high profile arrests, but there are quite a few fraudsters still in business, if you can call it that, as that is not commerce, but thievery, which is illegal.

Even with the painful realization of the aforementioned issues, the government has failed at every rung to remedy the serious economic problems that have dragged the U.S. economy to unprecedented lows, causing the nation and the world to lose confidence in Washington. Due to the fact that so many other global economies are intertwined with that of America, other nations and their citizens are suffering as well.

Federal Reserve Chief Bern Bernake

The government knows what they need to do to correct the economy, but there’s just one problem, they won’t do it. It is not politically expedient. All the government has to do is pass bipartisan legislation, making the correct budget cuts and implementing appropriate taxes on the rich, along with legislation that puts corporations in check, giving them clearly defined limits by law, regarding what they can and cannot do in the marketplace.

You See, Even Justin Bieber Can't Afford Gas

Justin Bieber (left - like you didn't know)

Gas prices in America have soared so high, not even millionaire pop star, Justin Bieber, can afford gas. A fantasy car he was driving in Los Angeles, California, broke down like it was nobody's business, forcing the Bieber to call for assistance. Hopefully this will open Congress' collective eyes to the financial problems facing the nation.

Yes, the Biebster's ride did breakdown, but of course, he can afford gas. However, I am using this article to sarcastically shame politicians over the current ridiculous gas prices courtesy of Big Oil, who are holding the public hostage. I find it hard to believe the legislature can't set anti-gouging guidelines, as the oil companies seem to think the sky is the limit, regarding how much they can charge.

Congress Sponging Off The State While Cutting Citizens' Benefits

Congress

Sometimes when I read articles with transcripts or watch televised footage of members of Congress bickering to no effect or positive resolution, I am reminded of the fact that many of them are sponging off the state, while hypocritically lecturing the populace about unemployment and waste.

Not only do the nation's taxpayers, myself included, especially with all the copyrights that were criminally stolen and the tax money it spawned, pay their salaries ($174,000 - $225,000 per year), they receive generous benefits as well (great top of the line health insurance, large pensions and all expense paid luxury travel accommodations with free food and alcohol). As such, I and others have the right to sound off when they fail or engage in wretched behavior.

A number of lawmakers in Congress have been busted taking bribes to supplement their six figure incomes, which they receive for arguing on the people's dime, about things like fried chicken (Who are they? Colonel Sanders) - while the serious issues in life, such as people dying from diseases like cancer and AIDS, as others fraudulently tamper with research funding through brazen criminal theft, goes on in the real world. Maybe Congress should join the rest of us in the real world. It would make a nice change of pace.

Former President George W. Bush In Congress, Who Cosigned All His Madness And Unruly Spending

This is the same Congress that refuses to cut their own bloated pay, while not making the grade, but are looking for ways to give the nation's rich massive tax breaks and cuts at the expense of the middle class and poor, who are being gouged by corporations. Clearly, Big Oil "greased your palms" campaign funds, so its okay for them to bleed the people dry (in your unethical estimation).

Programs to help poor people and the disabled have been cruelly cut, yet the government can afford an endless supply of million dollar bombs to use in illegal wars for oil (Obama Costing Americans Billions With War In Libya). When you do things like that as a legislature (and President) at least have the common decency not to publicly patronize the people, regarding why vital programs that help citizens in need are being discontinued.

This is the same Congress that allows the FBI to violate the privacy and constitutional rights of Americans EVERY SINGLE DAY, each time giving them a slap on the wrist for these criminal offenses, then it's back to the business of being overbearing eavesdroppers and snoopers.

This is the same Congress green lighting war after war they know is suspect and issuing billions in military based foreign aid, while giving domestic citizens nasty looks when threatening to cut unemployment, during a financial crisis they and the last president squarely started, bringing so much grief and suffering on not just America, but the world as well.

This is the same Congress contemplating destroying Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Imagine that, millions of Americans paid into Social Security for decades and now you want to spit in the populace's face, stating you are working to cut the programs. How is that fair, decent or moral? That is the equivalent of reneging on a contract.

President Barack Obama In Congress, Who Have Rubber Stamped His Unprecedented, Wild Spending

I live in the Social Security state, Florida, which is full of retirees, who have stories of how hard they worked to retire in peace. I can tell you off hand, there will be widespread homelessness if Congress ends Social Security and not just in this state, but the entire nation.

Retirees will not have enough money to pay their bills, in a society where the cost of food, gas, clothes and shelter have skyrocketed. This happened due to the horrible financial conditions Congress allowed to take root in the nation, under former President George W. Bush, which has continued under President Obama.

The congressional classes that served in Bush's time and now Obama's are bar none, the absolute worst in U.S. history. God blessed you with the most prosperous nation on earth and look what you did and permitted as the nation's legislature. The buck stops with you. Congress allowed this nightmare.

If Congress were a corporation it would be bankrupt, sued for woeful negligence, ineptitude and misconduct and put out of business. However, since Congress is funded by the taxpayers, with no real oversight, they are allowed to fail and spectacularly so. Nice work if you can get it. But then again, one would have to live with the shame of having failed a nation, leaving millions to suffer and which self-respecting person could look themselves in the mirror after doing something like that.
