Anyone hear the president tell us to go fuck ourselves yesterday? Well, that might not have been exactly what he said, but it's sure what I heard. He was addressing the nation about the hurricane and this is an actual quote from that speech:

"The Environmental Protection Agency has granted a nationwide waiver for fuel blends to make more gasoline and diesel fuel available throughout the country.

This will help take some pressure off of gas prices, but our citizens must understand this storm has disrupted the capacity to make gasoline and distribute gasoline"

What this breaks down to is "I'm loosening the pollution regulations that make life hard for my good ol' boy buddies in the oil industry, and stop whining about the high price of gas, because that's how it's gonna be, bitches." Understand this: gas prices need not spike because of the hurricane. He could declare a state of emergency, thereby outlawing profiteering, which is what the oil companies are doing. He has ways of reducing the RIDICULOUS price of gas, but he won't. He is using this horrible disaster to make life easier for the rich oil moguls. For someone who loves America so much, he sure seems to hate the average American.
