14 Something Lite.

A Priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish.
 
A leading local politician, and also a member of the congregation, was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner.
However, he was delayed, so the Priest decided to say his own few words while they waited.
 
"I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set, and when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs, and gave VD to his sister. I was appalled. But as the days went on I learned that my people were not all like that, and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people.'
 
Just as the Priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies for being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk:
"I'll never forget the first day our parish Priest arrived," said the politician. "In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to him for confession."
 
Moral : Never, Never, Never Be Late!
 
There you have it!!!

15 I wish this guy would write some campaign ads for Obama.

16 What kind of idiot do you have to be to think that increasing supply isn't a legitimate response to an increase in demand

Obama is special type of idiot when it comes to economics.  Remember that Obama wants to increase the capital gains tax even if that were to mean less revenue--you know, operating on the retarded side of the Laffer Curve.

17 And after all the qualifying and hedging, he says:

"the damage is likely to be less severe."

And that's supposed to be just fine, the new metric for judging the economic deterioration under obozo.

After 3 long years, you're still giving Obama the benefit of the doubt and assuming it's "stupidity".

He knows what he's doing.

The Obama Regime cannot escape the following facts regarding skyrocketing gas prices:

1. In September 2008, Obama’s “Nobel-prize winning physicist” of an Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, told the Wall Street Journal: “Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.”

2. In 2008, then-candidate Obama admitted that, like his future Energy Secretary Mr. Chu, he believed that high gas prices would be a good thing because they would force Americans to ween themselves off of oil, but that he would have “preferred a gradual adjustment.”

3. On January 19, 2009, the day before Barack Obama was sworn in as President of the United States, gas prices were $1.84 a gallon. As of February 20, 2012 a gallon of gas cost $3.59.

4. As Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson points out, “Offshore drilling permits are being issued at less than half the rate of the previous administration. The average number of leases issued on public lands is less than half than during President Clinton’s term.”

5. In 2008, Barack Obama seemed perfectly comfortable with soaring energy prices if they meant curbing green house gas emissions. As Mr. Obama confessed: “Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”

6. Obama’s own 2008 campaign rallies actually cheered higher gas prices because they would “force us to think about changing the culture to create more emphasis on mass transportation.” Following the sustained applause, then candidate-Obama proceeded to laud Europe (not unlike his future Energy Secretary Steven Chu) for its rail system.

7. Try as he might, President Obama’s campaign will try to distance themselves from the fact that a central pillar of Mr. Obama’s 2008 campaign was a pledge to reduce the “pain at the pump” caused by high gas prices. However, the record reveals the extent to which Obama promised that, if elected, he would bring down the cost of gas for “everyday Americans.”

Missing no opportunity to invoke class warfare, Obama said: “For the well-off in this country, high gas prices are mostly an annoyance. But to most Americans, they are a huge problem, bordering on a crisis. Here in Indiana, gas costs $3.60 a gallon.”

29

..the U.S. economy is better situated to handle higher gas prices than it was last year, four years ago, or ten years ago.

***

Sure, with people who were downsized in '09 being hired to new jobs at a fraction of their old salaries, homeowners who bought at the peak scrimping and scratching to make the mortgage payment ...twenty-somethings unemployment rate at 20%...commercial real estate dead in the water...

 

We're SOOO begging for higher gas prices, please bring it Mr. Daniel Gross AKA boss resident of a big elitist liberal bubble.

Who served up that steaming pile of moose crap?  "In the last several years there have been more light rail systems..."

Just pray tell where are those vaunted light rail systems? What did the Bamster have to do with the current increase in oil production.  Not a damned thing--that's what.

 

 Of course we don't use as much gas these days.  All the construction workers building houses that were doing just ducky from say 1998 to 2008 are sitting on their asses at home with no jobs to drive to.   Some of us retirees take a big gulp when looking at the cost with $4 plus gas of driving to our former favorite recreation spots. Kiss that camping and  fishing trip  in the Sierra Mountains goodbye.  Maybe you can go down and camp out in the local 7-11 parking lot.  You say you wanted to spend a week on the shore in San Luis Obispo County?  Not so tough with $2 gas (which is what we had when Obozo came into office) but maybe out of reach with $4 or even $5 a gallon gas in California this summer.

This little bullshit emitter would have been going bonkers if Dubya were in office when this happened.  But with our New Messiah Lightworker in charge, it's all unicorn farts and rainbow stew.  Couldn't be better Boss!

46 Energy Department Announces $180 Million for Ambitious New Initiative to Deploy U.S. Offshore Wind Projects
March 1, 2012

As part of President Obama's all-out, all-of-the-above approach to developing every domestic energy resource, Energy Secretary Steven Chu today announced the start of an ambitious initiative to capture the potential of wind energy off American coasts. As part of a planned six-year $180 million initiative, an initial $20 million will be available this year as the first step in supporting up to four innovative offshore wind energy installations across the United States. These offshore wind projects will accelerate the deployment of breakthrough wind power technologies that will help diversify our nation's energy portfolio, promote economic development, and launch a new industry here in America.

PLEASE DISCUSS

61 We are the most advanced economy on earth. Our standard of living is supported by that fact. (And our ceaseless theft from future generations)

Energy is the lifeblood of all the resource acquisition and manufacturing that we do. From the two stroke fuel in the lumberjack's chainsaw, to the diesel in every piece of big equipment and trucks, to the electricity that powers all of our manufacturing machines. The only thing that can happen if any form of energy, especially liquid fuel, becomes more expensive. We are on a path of economic devancement. Where we regress from a highly advanced machine driven economy back to the sweat off our brow, strength in our back economy, just to get fed.

This is a soft core version of the Pol Pot philosophy. Apparently that's what progressive means. Moving society back to a primitive state.

62 The President told me he'd make me Secretary of Transportation if I wrote these articles. He lied to me about not coming in my mouth the last 20 times I blew him, but I'm sure he's telling the truth about this.

The next day the doorbell rings.  When she opens the door there is an old man in an a wheel chair with no arm and no legs.  She takes one look at him and says "I'm sorry I don't think this will work out."

"What are you talking about," he replied.  "I'm 72 years old so I am in your age group and I have no arms and no legs, so there is no way I could beat you."

"What about the amazing lover part?" she asked.

"How do you thing I rung the doorbell?" he answered.

The doc is perplexed, and asks "so why are you telling me this?"  The man replies, "doc, I'm 70 years old, giving a good rogering to my 25 year old girlfriend several times a day, I'm telling everybody I know!!"

A few evenings ago when I was driving to work and I stopped at a  7/11 for gas and noticed an Abarth in the middle of the parking area with it's hood up.  As I was driving down the freeway I noticed another one off on the side of the rode with it's hood up.  This one still had the dealer's tag  on.

80 Suckers of cock.

81 See, I really think that Fiat should be the official car of the Obama administration.

So.....Obama ran that commercial in 2008 to show everyone how bad gas prices were with Boooooosh in office?

84 I got your "light rail" right here ...

85 In 30 days the US will have the highest corporate tax rate in the world.

I guess we will really, really be in a position to whether run away fuel prices then.

86 I'll make this promise to the Amerikan people: High energy prices will not affect the poor and working class of this country. I have informed Secretary Chu that I expect to have an executive order prepared for my signature to provide energy tax credits to those who live below the poverty level. These credits will be paid for through a carbon tax in a bill that I have instructed Senate leader Harry Reid to introduce. I fully expect that the Republican majority in the House of Representatives will oppose this bill, but let me be perfectly clear -- We will act without them if necessary, and it will be up to the Amerikan people to decide if they wanna, you know, have a do-nothing congress going forward after the upcoming election.

87 (Chicago Tribune) As rising gas prices are putting pressure on politicians to act, President Obama called on Congress to vote quickly to eliminate subsidies for the oil industry, returning to a favorite target the president.

"I want them to vote on this in the next few weeks, so we can put every single member on record: You can either stand up for the oil companies, or you can stand up for the American people," the president told a crowd gathered at Nashua Community College.

But with gas prices threatening to hit $5 a gallon, Obama has been maneuvering to shift frustration away from the White House to an industry that has proved politically advantageous for Democrats.



He's an economic genius. And like always, instead of addressing the problem he's just going to play politics with it

88 What a load of horseshit.

more people have alternatives to driving than did four years ago. When gas prices rise, ridership of mass transit usually rises in its traditional strongholds like New York, Washington, and Boston. But in the last several years, light rail systems have opened and expanded in many states. And that means more people around the country have alternatives to driving.

Pure horseshit.
Most cities have cut back their bus schedules dramatically to cut costs.

I defy the author of that piece of crap to provide hard data showing expanded public transportation.

Lack of jobs is what has cut down gasoline usage.  Lay off half the country and put them on the public dole doing nothing, asshole.  Then we will be in libtard nirvana.

115 I have a friend who is an engineer at the Valero refinery in Ardmore, Oklahoma and he says that they are exporting refined products such as gasoline and diesel fuel.  They are getting better prices exporting it and demand is lower because of the stagnant economy.

116 The democrats really hate the poor, don't they?

117 Higher Gas Prices? No Worries, ...you still have retirement savings you can use up, right?

118 Seriously, WHY are we expected to pay for this skanky slut to get laid everyday? Her guys won't even spring for a condom? Gross.

You aren't. You are paying to insure the skanky slut does not reproduce. Yes, that sucks, but until society is willing to sterilize ignorant whores, that really is the best we can do.

119 Probably not a good time for a pipeline explosion in Saudi Arabia .

I think the only good time for pipeline explosion in Saudi Arabia will be when we've mastered cold fusion.

*not that my riffing is great, but today I can't seem to try.

121 It looks like Yahoo has removed the comments section from the article. I wonder why

122 I guess this is why the idea of 'Algae-for-fuel' has never really caught fire? ....I mean, I first heard about it back in the 90's.....It's not a new idea. Posted by: wheatie
.....
Someone figured out it would take an algae farm the size of South Carolina to produce the 17% figure Obama spoke of.

123 The chocolate ration has been increased from 10 ounces to 9 ounces, rejoice!

124 Ummm....when the price of gasoline goes up, doesn't the cost of riding mass transit ALSO go up?

Cost? Yes.  Prices?  No.

Well, they might here in Conservative Texas (even in faux-Conservative Dallas), but they wouldn't in most of the country.  The Taxpayers would be forced to subsidize the difference.

125 Daniel Gross, economics editor, Yahoo! Finance is a blogger and not on some other media format since it is the only way he could disseminate propaganda and suck dick at the same time.

126 Ummm....when the price of gasoline goes up, doesn't the cost of riding mass transit ALSO go up? Who knows what the costs are? Taxpayers take care of that for us. Don't worry your little head about the costs.

127 Someone figured out it would take an algae farm the size of South Carolina to produce the 17% figure Obama spoke of.

I'd be willing to sacrifice NYC, Chicago, Detroit, and LA.

128 I think we're about at that point now.

I'm not sure if I hope you're right, or if I hope you're wrong.

129 ...more people have alternatives to driving than did four years ago. When gas prices rise, ridership of mass transit usually rises in its traditional strongholds like New York, Washington, and Boston. But in the last several years, light rail systems have opened and expanded in many states. And that means more people around the country have alternatives to driving.


So, more east coast bias on display?  What he's saying here, those places that mass transit makes no sense and is impossible to implement effectively, like say the broad landscapes of Texas, Oklahoma, Montana, Nebraska..........well, you're fucked.

Yup.  You've pretty well summed it up.

136
My response to this total and utter BS by Mr. Gross on this day is to quote Mr. Breitbart, "Stop lying to people!, Stop raping people, You Freaks!"

137 Well, obviously, the public is more tolerant of high gas prices because Obama's approval has gone up along with them. Obama is superhuman in the way that bad news doesn't affect him.

138 Corporate and personal balance sheets are in better shape than in 2007 and 2008.

All those long-term unemployed can TOTALLY absorb five dollar gas.

And I just got in from several days of travel and saw the Breitbart news.  Damn.  I've got nothing.

139 obma also brought the old prog canard, " the US sues 22% of the worlds oil but we only have 2% of the worlds reserves". That lie got a resounding applause from the useful idiots in the crowd.

140 Meanwhile, while there is this absolutely golden election-season opportunity to confront Obama and other liberals with:

(a) record high gas prices, and (b) their own previous damning statements about how high gas prices are a good thing, what are certain boneheaded conservatives choosing to make the subject of daily debate?

Contraception and the question of whether a twentysomething female law student is a "slut" or not.

That's the burning issue which Limbaugh decided to bring up. Using the word "slut" specifically.

What a great way to win over independent voters. What a key matter for the decline-to-state bloc. Completely awesome. A general election winner for sure.

When I saw The Won issue his birth control mandate, and a bunch of people on the right began to crow about how it was a major tactical blunder for him, I figured instead that it was a deliberately calculated Axelrodian strategic ploy.

A play that would simultaneously ignite a chunk of the liberal base, plus, get the social cons feuding with the libertarian cons into the bargain.

Looks like a bunch of people on the right blundered squarely into that trap.

Can we quit talking about this birth control crap and go back to talking ABOUT THE FREAKING PRICE OF GAS, PLEASE?

141 they changed the rules so it now isn't a tie but rather Romney gets 16 delegates while Santorum gets 14

My only problem with that- given that Romney did win the votes- is that changing the rules after the fact smacks of favoritism.  Do they really expect us to believe they would have done the same thing if Santorum had "won" the delegates?  You can't tell me (with a straight face) that they never considered the possibility of a close race in the primary- they knew that a 15/15 split was a possible outcome.

142 yeah well the Suckers of cock sucking cock are going to get the supply and demand all messed up on this two and there is gonna be some poor guy with two in his mouth and another guy starving in the corner.

Ohhhh. Pleeeeeassse. Do you live in one of these places? Do you grasp that people always take mass transit if it goes to where they are going and don't if it doesn't. Most people in these areas have to DRIVE to the mass transit parking lots or bus stops and then pay. Do you grasp how expensive it is to take metro, metro bus, the trains? It's far cheaper to drive if gas is under $4.50 after you've paid for the fare, parking and the fucking 2 EXTRA HOURS IT TAKES. Add the two extra hours to your day care bill as well. This "take mass transit" is lefty horseshit. Make it cheaper (not driving more expensive) and not so fucking time consuming and FREE PEOPLE WILL CHOOSE IT you statist.

OK, Mr Presnit,

But since we are 30% of the worlds GDP and use ONLY 22% of the oil.... doncha think that makes us efficient users????

I was listening to MI primary results as they came in, the announcer said that the winner of the popular vote would get two extra delegates (in addition to the allocation according to who won the district). This was before most of the precincts had reported, so it doesn't sound like a change of rules to benefit Romney. If Santorum had won the popular vote, the two bonus delegates would have gone to him.

157

The real reason why the price of gas....and everything else....is going up, is because the Dollar is tanking. .....Even Neal Cavuto came right out and said it today: "the Dollar is tanking".

.....

The cause of this can be directly attributed to the SCoaMT....and his agenda of driving us even deeper into the pit of debt. ....Even to the point of increasing our debt in order to bail out the other countries who are in debt. ....Just keep heaping it on....in heaps and gobs.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!!!


We've found the ultimate goal.  They want to control where you go and when you get there, folks.......

Welcome to Orwell's nightmare.

161 @166 - I don't need to go that far back.  It probably hasn't made national news, but there have been a spate of (apparently unrelated) murders at light-rail stations/platforms here in Dallas.

The DART Cops' response?  "Please don't carry your weapon.  We'll make sure we have at least one cop on every train.  They may not be in the car you're in, but they'll be on the train.  Oh, and they won't be allowed actually to shoot anyone at a stop, unless that someone starts shooting."

162 Shit like this won't float. You can tell feed people B.S. about things that don't directly affect them, but the effect of high gas prices on their everyday lives does not fit that definition. People of all political persuasions read crap like this and roll their eyes and shake their heads. This lie can never grow into a BIG LIE because it is too easily understood at the retail level.

163 we've mastered cold fusion.

Sure. The same principle that powers the sun. But you have to realize that the sun is a compression of a field of hydrogen that probably stretched a light year or more in size at one point before the forces of gravity compressed it into a critical mass and it self ignited. Where do we get all that hydrogen? Water? How do we separate the hydrogen from the oxygen without a huge source of energy?

Pie in the sky.

First off the sun is hot fusion not cold fusion.
Two we've started fusion several times on Earth. Ask bikini.
Third the energy of the chemical bonds in water is 5.7ev
The energy in the fusion of hydrogen is on the order of 10 Mev

I think with a million to 1 payoff we could come out the net-ahead even with some a huge amount of inefficiency. The problem has never been obtaining fuel is costly, it has been efficienct reaction containment. Stick to stuff you know you look smarter that way.

164 Look! Ayn Rand's ghost is waving!

Option 1:
Train to Penn station: $400.00 monthly then either walk or take an MTA
train to work for an additional $104 dollars

Total: $400 - $504 dollars a month - $4800 - $6048 per year

Option 2:

Bus to Port authority: $220.00 monthly ticket + $50.00 dollars to park. Walk to work.

I have to drive to the bus station, which is a considerable distance away total estimated fuel usage per week
$30.00

Total: $390.00 dollars a month - $4680.00 per year

Option 3:

Drive to PATH, Take Path to City, Walk to work

PATH FARE: $80.00 per month
PARK: $100.00 per month
Fuel usage: $120.00 per month

I think the weather better than average. we were out to dinner a while ago with another couple, she was asian, and even though she is in he late 30s she got carded at every place we went to that evening.

I see greg the lying liar showed up to lie about his lying lovers approval rating as liars will do.  50% pffffft.  hardly, liar.

234 A case of mass transit blue balls is just not selling me on riding a bus, so I can sit next to a tuna boat worker that smells like piss. Snob. Posted by: Rick Santorum at March 01, 2012 06:09 PM (6TB1Z) I guess the difference between conservatives and liberals is that while conservatives get blue balls after seeing a hot girl on a train, a liberal just has an audience in the background when he tweets a picture of himself rubbing it out.

235 Right. The Worst Economy Since the Great Depression, to quote our wonderful President, is just a GREAT time to double or triple gas prices. Hell, let's quadruple them! Raise taxes, too! You can't make this shit up.

Met a 45 year old Asian women a few months ago.  She was stunningly beautiful.  BUT, she had also lived most of her life in the US, so maybe "location, location, location" has more than one meaning.

Yeah, you really can't generalize.   Plus, they have great hair.

238

We need the time machine from Napoleon Dynamite. 

I gotta say one thing about the "Good Old Days" of the Clinton Era that the liberals harken back to--gas was 1.39.   

239 Oh, hey! Money Market assets fell. See, it balances out. People trading retirement nest eggs to get to the grocery store.

240 I don't understand why someone doesn't legislate, insist and coerce too, that our vehicles get better gas mileage, adding only 30-40K to the drive off price of the vehicles .... maybe a great company like GM or someone that the government thinks is worthy ... and that way our gas would not "seem" so expensive. Om Mani Padme Hum .....

Any foreign import is going to be corrupted by radical American feminnaziism in a year.

 

I've seen it happen since my buds were getting ass raped by their Phiillipino wives in the 80s. Just find a nice American girl. I really is cheaper.

 

Unless you are willing to time share the slut with the Russian mafia. If you can do that, you might find it lucrative.

Yeah, but imagine their cholesterol.  they could make Omega-3 tablets out of Eskimo broads

Probably more to do with the climate that makes whale blubber your best diet option.

Light rail is only good for one thing:

Marking future hobo prey.

258 This Gross guy is the moron who wrote the infamous Newsweek cover story in the spring of 2010 that said: America is Back! It was a prelude to Recovery Summer that never happened.

He's a long time Obama butt boy.

259 Is this the ONT?

260 Ohhhh. Pleeeeeassse. Do you live in one of these places? Do you grasp that people always take mass transit if it goes to where they are going and don't if it doesn't. Most people in these areas have to DRIVE to the mass transit parking lots or bus stops and then pay. Do you grasp how expensive it is to take metro, metro bus, the trains? It's far cheaper to drive if gas is under $4.50 after you've paid for the fare, parking and the fucking 2 EXTRA HOURS IT TAKES. Add the two extra hours to your day care bill as well. This "take mass transit" is lefty horseshit. Make it cheaper (not driving more expensive) and not so fucking time consuming and FREE PEOPLE WILL CHOOSE IT you statist.

These communist elites don't have any fucking idea what they are doing.

Let me guess, you've ride the MTA buses in Los Angeles ..

When my car was out of action for a month 5 years ago, I took the MTA bus a whole 4 miles on a single route from downtown Glendale to my home in LA. It's a 10 minute drive at rush hour, but if I got home in 30 minutes taking the bus it was quick. If you have to change routes you're talking another 20 minutes at least waiting for the next bus to show up.

Let's not even get into cleanliness and comfort issues

In Denver, the bus system acronym is RTD, or as the locals in the Denver area call it: "Reason To Drive"

261 Gas usage is down and prices are up.  What does that tell you?

262 Gas usage is down and prices are up. What does that tell you?


A couple of years ago, it was "EVILE speculators."

Now?  The dollar sucks and this is just a foretaste.

263 So is this guy stupid or evil. For leftists, being both is the mark of an overachiever.

264 YES, Americans drive less and gas demand is down - because of the slow economy and high gas prices.  Gross is an idiot.

265 "What kind of idiot do you have to be to think that increasing supply isn't a legitimate response to an increase in demand?" There is not an increase in demand for oil. The price has gone up because demand is the same but supply went down. Remember, "demand" is not the same thing as "price" Of course, increasing supply is a proper way to deal with the problem of decreased supply, and its side effect, higher prices.

266 As some of you know, there are different grades of crude, some of the different cat crackers needed, and the effects on end cost, yet have never worked a day in the oil industry. We need to be refining and blending even more different grades of gasoline. “Chicago summer blend” is different from “Chicago winter blend” is different from “southern Illinois summer blend” is different from “Indiana winter blend” and so on. The more blends we have — the better. Further, there’s a myth out there that there are arbitrary limits on what refineries can emit. This is FALSE. I predict the East Coast is going to experience a steep decrease in gas prices. Final point – One wonders what the whiny NorthEasterners would be doing if this were a nasty winter … like Sweden ad Russia are having. Mew

267 they changed the rules so it now isn't a tie but rather Romney gets 16 delegates while Santorum gets 14*** Am I still supposed to pretend a vote means something, or can we now drop that charade?

268 He said drilling wasn't the answer because of increasing demand from places like China.[i/] Um, Mr. Prezidebt, is there anything wrong with US selling to the Chinese instead of just Arabia? Fn idiot.
