Bloviating Zeppelin: Gas Pricing - A Little History For The Leftists Amongst You

Bloviating Zeppelin

(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Gas Pricing - A Little History For The Leftists Amongst You

Does Mr Obama still feel our pain?

I suspect not. Rather, I know he doesn't. And he couldn't care less because, after all, he's exempt. In fact, he thinks we need higher gas prices.

The pinnacle of hypocrisy: when gas prices rise under GW Bush (and not nearly as high as now), then that = BAD. When gas prices rise under Obama, then that = well, these things can be ameliorated and, truly, it might not be so bad for us anyway.

hy·poc·ri·sy

noun /hiˈpäkrisē/
hypocrisies, plural

The practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense

Sums it up, yes?

Pablo the Mexican said...: Mr.Zeppelin,

President Obama is not a hypocrite.

Were he to cut a deal for cheap gas for his vehicle, and maybe his wife's, then he would be a hypocrite.

Because he is benevolent enough to let you pay for it, at full price, he is doing you a favor.

No one calls you a cheap skate, and, where your Commander-in-Chief goes, he goes in style.

God bless America!

WSF: insulated from Reality. Clearly and simply.

cwhiatt said...: If you wanted to offer a history lesson you could have discussed the oxygenated mandates which came out of the Clean Air Act that Clinton signed. You could have talked about quantitative easing and its effect on rising prices (i.e., inflation). You could have talked about a whole host of relative things that all bear culpability in the increasing cost of oil and gasoline. Instead you've offered nothing but more left vs. right drivel.; Tue May 10, 11:32:00 AM PDT

Not only is Obama a hypocrite but so are his liberal followers. They crucified President Bush for everything, and Obama has done much worse and not a peep out of any of them.

Sheesh!; Tue May 10, 02:25:00 PM PDT
Bloviating Zeppelin said...: BOISBS: an interesting take. I have to admit, myself, I didn't think he'd be doing what he did and then doing a Victory Lap. But, in reflection, I can understand it because, after all, it's All About Him and not about anyone else.

Soapster: you make an excellent point which is borne out by my own state, Fornicalia. The Religious Left RAILED about gasoline and INSISTED on putting MTBE into the fuel until -- imagine that -- it was discovered that MTBE was way TOXIC. Even then, it took YEARS to finally remove.

Further, various boutique "blends" of fuel, which may change by region and not even necessarily by state -- result in huge additional costs that could be reduced by streamlining and creating only ONE BLEND for the ENTIRE nation. But, hell, that would be logical and cheaper. Can't have that.

Leticia: further, what might you think the DEM/MSM would have said had GW Bush KILLED Osama bin Laden OUTRIGHT, then immediately DISPOSED of his body??

I think you can suss that one out, eh?

A former Democrat in my tender and ignorant youth, I am now a Conservative first and, these days, quite a distant Republican with a dash of Libertarian mixed in for good measure. I believe in God, the strength of America, the brilliance of our Founding Fathers, the valor of our military, and the need for Leadership in all forms and on every level. I am not an advocate of censorship as I believe everyone on the Far Left has a God-given right to be painfully stupid -- as I have a right to expose said stupidity.
