Biden’s cynical use of war in Ukraine

A citizen’s view —

 

April 12, 2022



I believe it was Rahm Emanuel former chief of staff for President Barak Obama who coined the expression, “never let a crisis go to waste”. In other words make it work for you politically.

Well, so now Joe Biden is using the war in Ukraine in a way that is really quite cynical and insulting to the people of America and really the world.

He is using this horrific event that has cost untold thousands of lives to further his green agenda by first very falsely claiming that all of our inflation and high gas prices are due to “Putin’s war” which is provably ludicrous! And then he has the nerve to push the idea that we should just all go out and buy an expensive electric car!

Gas prices were well above what they were when he took office by about $2 a gallon long before Putin invaded Ukraine and inflation has been on the rise almost since Biden took office and is record high!

It was well known that Biden was against the fossil fuel industry before the election and he promised to cut back on everything from drilling to permitting and said he would shut down the Keystone XL pipeline. For once in his life he was good to his word, he did all that and the high prices we are now paying at the pump and the record high inflation can be laid directly at his feet. This is his baby and has nothing to do with anything other than his misguided anti fossil fuel policies.

We haven’t seen gas prices and inflation like this for quite some long time. I am old enough to remember waiting in gas lines hoping to get enough gas to get to work, providing my license plate was of the right type on that day, odd or even. Remember that? Looking forward to doing that again?

Along with the rest of his nonsense, he is going to start releasing millions of barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves for the next six months or so in hopes that he can get gas prices down enough to help him and his useless party keep from getting completely obliterated at the polls next November. That oil is there for emergencies and his bad polling is not an emergency!

How cynical and transparent! I guess he thinks we are just dumb, knuckle dragging, toothless drooling hicks!

I for one am surprised by none of this. I and others, not enough apparently, saw this coming a mile away. Joe Biden has never done anything in his life except run for and hold public office. He has never so much as run a lemonade stand! He is completely clueless in economics and just about anything else the president is supposed to know about.

In short, he is a complete disaster as president!

Don’t get me started again on the disaster on our southern border that he continues to ignore!

I don’t think America can take three more years of this and still be America!
