Haley Barbour claims that Obama is raising gas prices on purpose

By David



Republican Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour said Sunday that President Barack Obama's administration was succeeding in their plan to raise the price of gas.

"Somebody told me that you said this week that you think that the president is trying to drive up energy policy -- energy prices on purpose," CBS host Bob Schieffer noted in an interview with Barbour Sunday.

"No question about that," Barbour insisted. "I mean, this administration's policy has clearly has been to drive up the cost of energy so Americans would use less of it."

"I've heard a lot of people give a lot of different reasons that energy prices have gone up but I believe you must be the first to say that he did it on purpose," Schieffer observed.

2. That was the most fantasy filled segment Face the Nation has ever seen

3. Isn't there a Southern saying that says "Thank God for Mississippi"
Meaning if Mississippi wasn't last in everything regarding quality of life issues, THEIR state would be last. Haley, you must be so proud to be the head of the US' verion of the Third World. Apologies to MS Duers-I know you're good people.

4. Haley Barbour has personally driven up the cost of Bacon.
He's a one-man inflation machine when smoked porcine products are concerned, an it's all because of his massive consumption of said Bacon.

5. What policy would this be?
From what I see, Obama has done ZILCH to either raise or lower oil prices.

9. If that was true I would have no problem with it.
We are addicted to cheap oil and must transition ASAP. The crime is keeping prices so low has led us to bringing our planet to this state.

11. If we were an enlightened people this would be the policy.
But in our backwards idiotic shortsighted country, promoting a reduction in use of a finite resource is TREASON (or something).

:shrug:
