You are reading that headline correct. Barack Hussein Obama is telling Americans that they need to get used to high oil prices.
FAIRLESS HILLS, Pa. —Pitching the promise of energy independence, President Barack Obama cautioned Wednesday that it’s going to be tough to transition from America’s oil-dependent economy and acknowledged there’s little he can do to lower gas prices over the short term.
“I’m just going to be honest with you. There’s not much we can do next week or two weeks from now,” the president told workers at a wind turbine plant. It’s a theme Obama’s struck before as he tries to show voters he’s attuned to a top economic concern with gas prices pushing toward $4 a gallon.
[…]
If you’re complaining about the price of gas and you’re only getting 8 miles a gallon, you know,” Obama said laughingly. “You might want to think about a trade-in.”
Obama, people paying high prices while their wages stagnate is not funny. Imagine if a Republican said this? They would be crucified, instead as always Obama gets a pass.
