Barack Obama Shows True Political Flip-Flopping Colors … Do You Think I Want Gas Prices Going Up In An Election Year? Nope, Just High Gas Prices When Its Not an Election Year

THE POLITICAL FLIP-FLOPPER IN CHIEF … HE WAS FOR HIGHER GAS PRICES, BUT ONLY NOT IN AN ELECTION YEAR. NICE, IMAGINE WHAT OBAMA WOULD DO TO AMERICA IF GIVEN A SECOND TERM WITH NO ACCOUNTABILITY …

How arrogant and smug could one possibly be? When asked during a rare Presidential press conference what Obama would say to his
critics who will say that Obama wants gas prices to go higher because you have said before that will wean the American people off fossil fuels onto renewable fuels, Obama replied with a flipped and politically “flip-flop” answer … “do you think the President of the United States going into re-election wants gas prices to go up higher?”

There you go America, Barack Obama wants high gas prices, he just does not want them during an election year. This President cared less of the will of the people during his first term, can you imagine the damage Obama would cause in a second term when he has no accountability?

Ed Henry, FOX News: Your critics will say on Capitol Hill that you want gas prices to go higher because you have said before that will wean the American people off fossil fuels onto renewable fuels. How do you respond to that?

President Obama: Ed, just from a political perspective, do you think the President of the United States going into re-election wants gas prices to go up higher? Is that — is there anybody here who thinks that makes a lot of sense? Look, here’s the bottom line with respect to gas prices: I want gas prices lower because they hurt families.

GM Pulls Plug on Volt and Suspends Production, Lays off 1300 Workers … Just Days Earlier Obama Just Praised Volt

GM pulls the plug on the Chevy Volt and lays off 1300 workers … Welcome to Obama Motors.

More bad news for the Barack Obama endorsed Volt. All Obama’s horses and all Obama’s stimulus money cannot save the failed sales if the Volt. General Motors announced that the company was suspending production of the Chevy Volt and 1,300 workers would be laid off. After all, should the American tax payers have paid more than $10,000 subsidies per vehicle?

Fool Moment of the Week: Obama praises Volt … days before GM lays off workers and suspends Volt production

General Motors has told 1,300 employees at its Detroit Hamtramck that they will be temporarily laid off for five weeks as the company halts production of the Chevrolet Volt and its European counterpart, the Opel Ampera.

“Even with sales up in February over January, we are still seeking to align our production with demand,” said GM spokesman Chris Lee.

Lee said employees were told Thursday that production would put on hold from March 19 to April 23.

How comical, President Barack Obama just endorsed GM’s (Government Motors) struggling Chevrolet Volt, saying he plans to buy the extended-range electric vehicle upon leaving office in five years. With ignorant, mistimed and clueless comments like this, Obama just might be buying a Volt in one year. Once again we are witness to the Barack Obama kiss of death. Yet another failed green company/product courtesy of Obama.

“Five years from now when I’m not president anymore, I’ll buy one and drive it myself,” Obama said to applause during a speech Tuesday to 1,600 workers and retirees from the United Auto Workers union. “Yes, that’s right.”

Recalling that event, Obama forgot he had actually driven the Volt, saying that the “Secret Service wouldn’t let me drive it. But I liked sitting in it. It was nice.I’ll bet it drives real good.”

GM had hoped to sell 45,000 Chevy Volts in America this year,; however, according to reports they had only sold about 1,626 over the first two months of 2012. A whopping 603 Volts in January 2012.  Maybe GM and Obama can still market the Volt to aliens.

But of course the lagging Volt sales have nothing to do with the fact that there is little to no interest in electric cars, Michelle Malkin.com has the real culprit who is to blame. GM of course blames the media. Really?

Another Obama Touted Green Energy Company Lays off Workers, Abound Solar Received $70 Million and Lays Off 280 Employees

YET ANOTHER FAILED GREEN ENERGY COMPANY COURTESY OF BARACK OBAMA ... Its is becoming an all to common occurrence. Welcome to another Barack Obama highly touted green energy company that received government stimulus money lays off workers.

Add Abound Solar to the long list of Obama highly touted green energy companies that received federal dollars that is now laying people off. The company will be laying off 280 employees.  Abound Solar won the $400 million loan guarantee from the Obama administration in December 2010 to expand a Longmont, CO, solar manufacturing facility and to build a new factory in Tipton, IN.

U.S. solar-power firm Abound Solar said Wednesday it will stop making solar panels while it retools a Colorado factory as part of a project backed by $400 million in federal loan guarantees.

The company has laid off 280 employees and delayed plans to open a new factory in Indiana that was also part of the government-backed deal.

The announcement was the latest sign of trouble for a manufacturing company backed by the Department of Energy’s loan guarantee program, which has already lost more than $500 million on loans to failed California solar panel maker Solyndra LLC.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu said Tuesday he felt the department would have more than enough reserves to cover future losses on the loan program. So far, Abound has drawn down about $70 million of taxpayer-guaranteed funds.

Yes, this is the same Energy Department Secretary Chu who has no issue with escalating gas prices so that the Obama administration can force people onto failed green energy.

Energy Department Secretary Steven Chu Says Obama Admin Not Looking to Lower the Price of Gasoline

Barack Obama’s Energy Department Secretary Steven Chu has done the unthinkable, he actually told the truth of Obama’s energy policy … they are not looking to lower the price of gasoline.  So Americans are finally witness to Obama’s grand scheme on fossil fuels. How dare one of Obama’s minions actually speak with candor and the truth. The truth is that Chu and Obama are perfectly content with rising gas prices as it plays into their agenda of failed “green” energy. Voters might want to remember this in 2012.

Obana & Chu … We like High Gas prices, let them run their cars on cake

President Barack Obama’s Secretary of Energy Stephen Chu uttered the kind of Washington gaffe that consists of telling the truth when inconvenient. According to Politico, Chu admitted to a House committee that the administration is not interested in lowering gas prices.

Chu, along with the Obama administration, regards the spike in gas prices as a feature rather than a bug. High gas prices provide an incentive for alternate energy technology, a priority for the White House, and a decrease in reliance on oil for energy.

This should be interesting how Obama will defend this policy during the general election in 2012 when gas prices are $4 and possibly over $5 a gallon.

The Energy Department isn’t working to lower gasoline prices directly, Secretary Steven Chu said Tuesday after a Republican lawmaker scolded him for his now-infamous 2008 comment that gas prices in the U.S. should be as high as in Europe.

Instead, DOE is working to promote alternatives such as biofuels and electric vehicles, Chu told House appropriators during a hearing on DOE’s budget.

But Americans need relief now, Rep. Alan Nunnelee (R-Miss.) said — not high gasoline prices that could eventually push them to alternatives.

“I can’t look at motivations. I have to look at results. And under this administration the price of gasoline has doubled,” Nunnelee told Chu.

Weasel Zippers reminds us that Energy Department Secretary Steven Chu is the same individual who stated that U.S. gas prices should be as high as those in Europe. I guess this must be all a part of Obamanomics, raise gas prices to raise the cost of doing business to prevent the economy from rebounding … more Obama brilliance. They must be voted out in 2012.
