Gas prices are not Joe Biden's fault. Fox News is a cancer on America for spreading their lies.

Joe Biden is the best President of my lifetime and he protected this too:



These are prairie wetlands that help to recharge the ground water in the great plains protecting them was a
priceless act by the Biden administration. This will helps farmers, ranchers, wildlife, the ecology, and these
areas can help suck up CO2 from the atmosphere too.

Joe B.

1. People need someone to blame

Although I am looking forward to EV and clean air. Until we’ve handled the conversion from gas to electric this is our pain.
We blame the leader. My only concern would be if the November elections changes us back to gas. The our gained pain would be in vain

[OrlandoDem2]

2. Exactly. If this gets more EVs on the road or expands usage of public transport, bikes

or other forms of moving people that cut fossil fuels then I’m all for it. Fossil fuels are an existential crisis that must be addressed.

[Botany]

4. It is not just BP

BTW If I were a I would think that some people and organizations like the high gas prices
because "they hurt Joe Biden."

[agtcovert]

9. Wait until closer to the election...

Prices will miraculously drop.

[uponit7771]

5. K&R, but what 100% dumbass would believe the US president has that much control of gas prices

... at these levels ?!

That's like someone claiming Biden has control of the rain ... GZP aren't critical thinkers

[MichMan]

10. Unfortunately there's video being shown on MSM

of Chuck Schumer blaming Trump for gas prices of $3 per gallon in 2018. Expect to see that played incessantly as we get closer to midterms.

[treestar]

17. That's no more valid

Geez, people are stupid, which the politicians know.

[MichMan]

24. True, but if it was the other way around, we would be blaming Republicans daily for gas & inflation

It's just how it is.

[treestar]

27. True, but then Republicans probably

would not try to do anything about it, or would do something stupid, like lower taxes for the rich.

At least Biden is trying to do something and something that would be effective.

[JCMach1]

6. In Kenya currently. Funny how no one is blaming Uhuru for gas and food

Prices...

Wonder what the difference is (he said sarcastically)?

(Looking straight at the MSM)...

[uponit7771]

7. +1, Kenyan gov prolly would never treat Pravda ... er um, FAUX NewZ as a credible new organization

[JCMach1]

8. They don't... Local news organizations which is pretty much balanced

Plus Al Jazeera (which bends left) and CNN International.

They are not lapdogs though. There has been extensive coverage of Uhuru's snubbing of his Deputy Pres, Ruto and Uhuru's alliance with his old opponent Raila Odinga.

The difference is they cover what people actually do.

[Ferrets are Cool]

11. And the sun rises in the East.

[joshdawg]

12. Idiots and republicans...but I repeat myself.....

blame Biden for these prices.
I blame corporate greed, but then I'm not a republican.

[LastDemocratInSC]

13. Republicans should not complain because this is the the free market at work.

The all-knowing "Invisible Hand" of the market place working its magic. So what if it's too expensive for them? You can't get things both ways.

[treestar]

19. +1 million zillion

Tell Republicans to "get a better job." That's their answer when you talk of any poverty.

[brooklynite]

14. It doesn't matter if he's responsible for the CAUSE or not...

It matters that voters expect the President to find a solution, or take the blame.

Beat up on uneducated voters all you want. They'll still show up in November.

[MichMan]

25. This

Justified or not, the administration always owns the economy and gets praise or blame depending on what it is. Just the way it is; no one should act surprised about it.


Does anyone doubt that if Republicans were in charge, we wouldn't be blaming them for gas prices and inflation daily?

[treestar]

28. It does not have to be the way it is

If people would use their brains instead of letting the MSM think for them. Too often our side caves in to this concept. It's gotten to the point where reason is not to be used. Trouble is, reason is easier to manage than emotions.

[treestar]

30. What is campaigning for then?

If people are just so unreachable and will never use their noggins? We could at least try to campaign about what he is doing rather than just giving up.

[brooklynite]

32. "campaign about what he is doing"

Exactly. NOT campaigning on "blame Big Business".

Personally, I think we can do a lot better in framing the positives that we have accomplished; something the WH Comms unit seems unwilling to take on.

[Rebl2]

15. I don't

blame President Biden. I blame the oil industry oligarchs that hate Biden. They are the ones we should be screaming at. There is little to nothing the president can do. We can do something by not driving as much (unless you drive for a living), combine your errands, slow down on highway, tires with proper pressure.

[IronLionZion]

16. Destroying prairie wetlands will help lower oil prices

according to GOP logic. No blame for oil companies raking in record high profits though.

[INdemo]

18. I copied and pasted this on my Facebook comment section

"Gas Prices are not Joe Biden's fault"and the link where people could see the facts about BP.
My comment and reference was taken down within seconds but yet there are posts that are able to stand bashing Biden on a friends FB page claiming this is all Bidens fault. Am I missing something here or is FB now made up of Fox News producers?

[Bengus81]

20. Oil prices are $5.00 per barrel more than in mid-March. Gas was around 2.75 where I live

Today $4.45 per gallon--over an increase of $5.00 per barrel?!?!?

TOTAL 100% BULLSHIT,but no one questions the gouging at the pump--nah,just blame Biden.

[Botany]

22. The democrats in the House voted to stop the price gouging but the Senate Republicans ...

... used their veto power and stopped that bill. (I think) It is almost like they
want high gas prices so as to hurt the American people and they will blame
President Biden for something he is not responsible for. BTW Saudi Arabia is
not helping either because they want to hurt Biden too.

Bring on the e.v.s (electric vehicles)

[geardaddy]

21. Even people I know who are Democrats

want to blame Joe for gas prices. I don't understand it.

[GoodRaisin]

35. They are ignorant.

Not much more to understand. If they hear CNN or M$NBC talking heads bashing Joe for gas prices or inflation they accept it as news. The M$M did the same thing to Joe on Afghanistan, spinning up a story about his “terrible withdrawal” to tank his approval ratings. Even people here were soaking up CNN’s shit.

[geardaddy]

36. That would make sense

Thanks

[Hulk]

23. The absolute worst!

...because they reach MILLIONS...and the range from skeptical to downright inflammatory and evil.

carlson, without a doubt is the worst...but not far behind is waters, ingraham, faulkner, vannity, and a half dozen other slime balls. Some are freaking NUTS...bingino and that bald pencil head woth the British accent.

They are all lying, deceitful and seditious poison spewers.

[Initech]

26. I've been saying for a while how dangerous Fox is becoming.

They've stolen 3 elections, the Supreme Court, and the states of Florida and Texas from us. And they've divided half the country against the other half and radicalized the half that watches them. they are inherent danger to this country and it's time to start calling them out for the damage that they are doing.

[Botany]

34. "They are inherent danger to this country."

Yup!

29. Oil Future Traders are overreacting to the sanctions on Russia: but prices may not come down until

the war ends with Russia defeated. Biden can help this outcome by giving Ukraine even more quality arms. Fox News of course will blame Biden for everything and give credit everywhere else.

[standingtall]

33. Oil want come down until oil companies bring back the people

they laid off or fired during the pandemic. Which they will not be in any hurry to do, but they know the less they produce the higher the price goes and the more they make.

[krawhitham]

31. Doesn't matter who is really to blame, the party in control always gets the blame
