Title: "Don't complain about high gas prices if you only get 8 mpg" - Obama
Post by: Evil_Conservative on April 08, 2011, 02:02:40 PM
All sorts of goodies in this video.  Makes you want to do this:   :banghead:

He comments about a family have 7 and 10 kids.  He makes jokes the whole time.  Who knows if he actually answered the questions.  I know the video was edited.  They may have edited the video just to show these ignorant comments.  This just makes me want to do this to someone:   :hammer:

I watched the whole thing but that wasn't easy. The mere sound of this jerk's voice makes my skin crawl. Seeing and hearing him at the same time is doubly repulsive. I need to shower.  :pokingpoop:

As a stand up comic this douche is about as funny as a cancer diagnosis. Straight off the cuff without his teleprompter we get the real Barry in all of his condescending insolent glory, what an asshole. He refuses to take these people seriously, evades their questions and actually blames them for the problem of rising fuel costs? **** him.

Hope n change ladies and gentlemen.

They start off with, if you don't have health insurance, we will mandate the purchase of insurance that way everyone will have it.
Now they are saying if gas costs too much, simply go out and trade in that gas guzzler for a nice Chevy Volt.

I swear watching Obama is like watching a really bad SNL skit.

Golly gee, how much diesel does he think the lobster boats and freight trucks use harvesting the lobster and delivering the Kobi beef he and Michelle like to eat and serve use? 

Oh wait, he doesn't pay for that, we do, and I just made my donation the other day when I filed my income tax.

This is the same clown that went on for 2 minutes giving a shout out to some Native American man (who I am sure is nice enough fellow) before he addressed the Fort Hood shooting. He may as well opened up with a joke.

The green meanies have been harping about the evils of fossil fuels for a long time.
Electric cars have been around for a long time too so why have they not taken over and become the forefront of transportation?
The Scottish have a word for it, crrrrrap. If these cars were any good, an actually viable alternative, they would have taken over a long time ago.
In a hundred years they haven't.
http://wnyheritagepress.org/photos_week_2006/electric_autos/electric_autos.htm

A hundred years ago these cars were viewed as second rate, lightweight imitations of "real" vehicles but "safe" for women, the fragile sex who should be spared from the rigorous regimen of operating heavy fire breathing iron. The electric cars of a century ago are on a par with the modern electric golf cart. Zero progression in a full century.
Almost. I do have to give the modern golf cart its props, it has a rack in the back to hold two golf bags and two beer holders in the front.
Little has changed in more than one hundred years. They have electric lights now, thats about it. Oh, and windows too. About the only noteworthy advancement I see is that the market has expanded without these electric cars themselves improving, now they are also deemed "safe" for the Birkenstock shod bearded tokers of tenured academia on America's campuses, one of the few places they are to be seen these days. What good are they?
Beyond the golf course, the campus or an amusement park I don't see the average modern American motorist  saying "Hmmm... that looks like a good idea. I think I'll trade in the Sierra or the Mustang for one of these".
Oh ya, in a past post I pointed out that we are well beyond the fabled "Year Two Thousand", I want my Jetson's sky car dammit!

Don't complain about the price of gas if you own a tractor trailer who is hauling goods........

Don't complain about the price of gas if you own a school bus hauling children........

Don't complain about the price of gas if your home heating system is in fact oil (which is colored diesel gas for those playing the home game).........

Don't complain about the price of gas if your employment is dependent on actually traveling long distances........

So what if someone has to own a truck for work? Or has to hull around a lot of stuff? I used to own a Dodge that got terrible fuel economy but I needed it at that time.

Everyone has a right to complain about fuel prices except in my opinion hybrid owners.

I'm not even going to watch the video, it's 11 am and I've already seen enough BS today.

Also what about people like truckers? The school system and buses? Public transit is going to charge more to afford higher gas, etc, etc.

Some people actually need a large power train for towing purposes, a la, ranch work, farming etc. I guess we could go back to mule or oxen teams like in podunk Kenya. Another flash of contempt from this turd.

It'll be really interesting to see how well a Prius can get through two feet of snow when the roads don't get plowed because a town has blown through it's snow removal budget by mid-January and can't raise taxes any more.

Oh wait--that happens here EVERY year.

My dad is an independent truck driver.  He owns his own semi, pays for all maintenance/oil changes/etc, pays for 100% of the diesel to take the goods from Minnesota all the way to New York or the likes.  He does mostly east coast runs.  It's sad because he ran up his two credit cards during 2008 when the diesel was as high as it is today.  And truck driver's don't make a ton of money.

If he stopped driving his truck because of the diesel prices, DUmmies won't get their Cheeto's and there will be riots in the streets.

I used to work for a local company that was a Comdata competitor (the 800-pound gorilla in the room).  I got to see what those truckers pay for fuel and service.  If you go to Petro or Speedco that offers basic maintenance, an oil change is at least $250 (some of those Cummins engines have three or four oil filters).  With the current price of fuel, a single fill-up is anywhere from $300-700.  A trucker with a daily fuel budget of $1,000-$1,500 was not uncommon and these men drive seven days a week.  Tires?  Don't even ask about tires.  Think you can get away with putting a $150 trailer tire on your truck?  Think again.  Steering tires (the tires that go on the tractor) are $300-400 each.

Ever since I first heard Obama spout this, I've been calling him President A-hole because only a-hole would purposefully destroy America's oil industry, and then laugh at a man who is suffering because of it.

And, apparently, Oprah agrees with me.

Oh so true.

Our Grace Flight/Angel Flight squadrons have seen missions significantly reduced because of the high price of avgas (100LL). We're seeing low-end prices per gallon of around $4.20 for self-serve, and upwards of $5.50 for full-serve at smaller airports. Some of the large airports I fly into like Houston Hobby and Dallas Love Field are showing prices of $7.50 per gallon for 100LL fuel--which is what the majority of GA aircraft run on.

So, a lot of us are having to cut back on the number of patients we're flying simply due to cost.

Likewise, the price at the pump for cars and trucks continues to rise. That affects the price of groceries and goods. Basic economics--something the Kenyan Imposter is totally clueless about.

And yet, there are still idiots out there in Blue Town, USA that thinks he has all the answers.

It's not the MPG that counts, it's if you drive a Volt or Prius.

Spoken like a true liberal hypocrite, considering the enormity of the "carbon footprint" of the battery systems in those vehicles as opposed to simply buying a high-MPG car.

And again, how well do those haul, get through 2 feet of snow, etc?

I'm guessing nobody has dared yet ask that question.  If a person drives a Ford Focus or Chevy Aveo which both get about 34 mpg highway, can they complain then?

It is?

Ours has been going down.  Allstate just found a billing error on our account.  We've been over paying them because they misquoted us or there was some error in their system.  Can't remember for sure.  For our next billing statement, they are going to credit us back all of that money + interest.  We're not sure how much interest they are paying us though.

It sucks we have been over paying them, but at least they were honest and are returning our money and then some.  Hopefully it covers a full month or two of insurance so we don't have to pay anything and hold onto our money.

Yeah, I know it's shopped, but if someone ever tried, it, I'd pay to see you try to plow up a foot of snow like that.

Well, at least until you either burned out the tranny or torqued the frame into a pretzel trying it.  Either one would take less than a minute.
