Obama’s fix for gas prices: “Set up a task force to look into speculation”

Obama’s fix for gas prices: “Set up a task force to look into speculation.” In this case, maybe a better term would be “task farce.” Nothing like low comedy in high places when you’re scrounging behind the couch cushions for gas money.

  • He could just ask George for all of the deep well oil rigs back from Brazil. However, that would make way to much sense and cost Soros major $$$$$.

  • Unless the task farce comes back with "Nationalize the oil and gas production companies" 0bama will ignore its recommendations just like every other commission 0bama has setup.

    It reminds me of when the BP oil spill in the Gulf happened and Captain Kickass 0bama's first federal action was to send an army of lawyers there. Not oil recovery resources, not extra oil spill containment systems (those 0's EPA kept at away), not even the Coast Guard special forces, L-A-WY-E-R-S!!!!

    if 0bama wins this year it is the end of our country and our standard of living. We will be third world because we will be ruled in a third world manner. PROOF: Last three years, particularly last year.

  • More PC bullshit. His unvetted communist czars know exactly what's going on. Besides, I'm still SPECULATING why this Kenyan moron is still in office.

  • If Obama & those around him understood how the free market worked, he need to look into speculation. What they will find out is his policies & his EPA are forcing specualtors to bid up the price.
