Hillary says electing her will cause oil prices to drop
Sunday, December 23rd, 2007WTF? Has the toll of the political road made her even more touched in head? In the long list of Hillary’s wacky promises, ($5000 per child, $1000 per 401K, etc.) this one may lead the list.
“I predict to you, the oil-producing countries will drop the price of oil,” Clinton said, speaking at the Manchester YWCA. “They will once again assume, once the cost pressure is off, Americans and our political process will recede.”
Clinton argued that former President Jimmy Carter in the late 1970s actually started moving in the right direction toward energy independence, but his successor, Ronald Reagan, “dismantled” that work. Source
Again we say, WTF? Not only is she lying to the american people (again) she obviously is to stupid to understand economics. Maybe some of her advisors should explain it to her.
And as for the rest of it; Carter was moving things in the right direction? Reagan made it worse? Doesn’t she read any history at all? Carter’s ineptitude and lack of action caused the crisis to develop to near unmanageable proportions. His oh so fabulous “diplomacy” skills, you know the ones that he always says President Bush lacks, failed. Again. Just as they failed in every other aspect of his Presidency (but that is a story for someone else’s blog). It was, in fact, President Reagan’s mandate to cut price controls that brought the crisis to an end!
And yet, you people still seem to want to elect her. Don’t you?
