RUSH: Edmonds, Washington. Hi, Tony. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Say, I\u2019m kind of reluctant to bring up this point because it might tip the administration off but these yahoos are so ideologically driven that they wouldn\u2019t do anything about it. Oil prices peaked right at the point that Bush announced that he would repeal or remove the executive order restricting the ability to drill offshore — and I mean that was, what, September \u201908? It was like a week before everything collapsed financially, and nobody seemed to talk about the oil issue after that because oil started dropping. But it peaked like right at that day or the day before he announced that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So your theory is that Obama might repeal his moratorium —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — in time to cause the oil price to drop, the gasoline price to drop to show, “Hey, see what I did”?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Well, you said you didn\u2019t think they could do it because they\u2019re too ideologically corrupt. Let me tell you about that. I can see that, and I can understand how people think that, but I also know this: I also know that Obama doesn\u2019t want the price of gasoline to come down too much. Obama hates oil. Look, folks, let me find it here in the story. Get this. If this doesn\u2019t say it, I don\u2019t know what does. Reuters story: “President Barack Obama on Tuesday urged world oil producers to lift crude output, as he sought to deflect public anger over high gasoline prices that has hurt his popularity among voters.” Now, the original headline for this story was “Obama Presses Oil Producing Nations to Boost Output,” but the editors realized that “presses” was a little too bellicose for our courageous president.<\/p>\n

So “urges” became the word. But here he is and if you read the whole story, Reuters is trying to make it out like the Republicans are using high gasoline prices to hurt Obama. Never mind they hurt everybody. But what about the hypocrisy here? How come if all these foreign countries increase their output of oil — in other words, if foreign countries do their own “drill, baby, drill” — that will lower the price of gasoline, but it won\u2019t lower the price of gasoline if we produce more domestically? “Obama Urges Oil Producers to Increase Output to Lower the Price.” Would you ever read, “Obama urges domestic producers to increase…”? No! He is hamstringing domestic production, and he also knows that these foreign producers are not gonna do it just because he says so. <\/p>\n

Look, his entire economic plan — green energy and all that — depends on rising energy prices.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So we can\u2019t drill our way out of the problem, but they can. They can drill our way out of the problem. All these foreign producers, yeah, if they just drill more, if they just up their output, yeah, baby, yeah, that helps us. Obama says there\u2019s not a silver bullet to lower gas prices. But there is. It\u2019s called boosting production. It\u2019s worked every time it\u2019s tried. And the caller was right. In 2008 when Bush announced the end of the Gulf drilling moratorium — this was after Katrina — folks, the barrel price and itl literally fell off of a cliff. I have the chart. I could show you on the Dittocam. The price just fell. So the caller could be right. This could be a giant scam Obama\u2019s setting up to end his drilling moratorium in the Gulf a year from now causing the oil price to plummet and gas prices to do likewise. It wouldn\u2019t be the first time something like that happened in politics. Trump\u2019s totally capable of it. I\u2019m just tweaking. Just tweaking.<\/p>\n
