President Joe Biden appeared to be thrilled at soaring gas prices in the United States, saying that it marked an “incredible transition” away from gas and toward green energy sources.
“Here’s the situation. And when it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, G-d willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over,” Biden said, suggesting that the price of gasoline is justified by its end.
As of Tuesday morning, the average price of gas in the United States was $4.59 a gallon, according to AAA, and average prices in California have already soared above a mind-popping $6 a gallon.
Despite the good he sees in it, Biden said he is working to bring down the price of gas nationwide.
“And what I’ve been able to do to keep it from getting even worse — and it’s bad. The price of gas at the pump is something that I told you — you heard me say before — it would be a matter of great discussion at my kitchen table when I was a kid growing up. It’s affecting a lot of families,” he said.
“But we have released over two hundred and, I think, fifty-seven thousand — million barrels of oil, I should say. Us and the rest of the world we convinced to get involved. It’s helped, but it’s not been enough.”

James Carville was right. “It’s the economy stupid”. When the average hard working American, regardless of party, race, or religion, can’t make ends meet, they couldn’t give a darn about saving the earth, trees, whales, caribou in Alaska, abortion rights, gay marriage, equality, CRT, etc etc… All this feel good wokeness is for the wealthiest privileged white elitist pigs, living in their protected ivory tower.
Red tsunami coming.
I almost wish he would just not wake up one morning. Except then we would get stuck with the braying donkey GAG
80 million voted for this dope….. sure
Another doozy of a YWN headline that does not accurately describe the article.
What else would you expect of a demented Alzheimer diseased Socialist America hating treasonous hair sniffing pervert.
We have become the laughing stock of the world.
This is the monster together with that cackling idiot Kamala, the DemonRats (sewer rats) have hoisted on the American people.
For that we should never forgive them, coming November every single of those rats MUST be VOMITED out by the electorate.
Either we that or we lose our once great country.
If you believe, as Biden and most Democrats do, that:
1. Global warming is the result of humans using carbon-based fuels (including cold, natural gas and especially motor fuels);
2. Global warming will result in temperatures and weather that will make the planet uninhabitable and will destroy humanity
Then Biden’s position is rationale and correct.
If you hold that global warming is natural and will not be seriously detrimental (and perhaps beneficial), then vote Republican.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with his statement. They are struggling to fight the high prices, and working to provide a better cheaper alternative. Makes perfect business sense. Apparently every major car manufacturer agrees, they’re all putting out electric and hybrid cars.
akuperma, as is typical of the unsophisticated, perhaps uneducated, you talk only in terms of extremes. there are multiple rational intermediate positions. for example, we need a very long-term plan to transition to more green energy, while not weakening the economy.
That’s a nice photo of Biden there. Where’s it from?
