The cognitively deficient president continued his Embarrassment Tour overseas this week as the American people cringed, wishing Biden would just close his mouth.
Biden hoped no one would remember just 10 months in the past when he destroyed each and every Trump-era policy that ensured America’s energy independence and guaranteed consumers wouldn’t be overcharged at the pump.
Instead, Biden played the blame game, pointing his finger at our biggest adversaries in what could be one of his greatest diplomatic blunders since the downfall of Afghanistan.
On Tuesday, Joe Biden claimed that gas prices have skyrocketed due to Russia and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) refusing to “pump more oil.”
Biden delivered his remarks during the United Nations climate conference (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland, where he was asked to comment on when Americans could expect to see everyday prices come down, including those of gas.
The president reiterated his administration’s assertion that the uptick in consumer prices was, first and foremost, due to supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic.

Despite his decisions to revoke the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline and impose a moratorium on new oil and gas leasing and drilling permits for U.S. lands and waters, the president has accused OPEC of being unwilling to significantly ramp up their production of oil to combat rising gasoline prices.
“The idea that Russia and Saudi Arabia and other major producers are not going to pump more oil so people can have gasoline to get to and from work, for example, is not right,” Biden said.
Many OPEC members have shunned Biden’s pleas, arguing that they shouldn’t produce oil at a faster rate due to the uncertainties associated with the pandemic, according to Al Jazeera.
U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) released a report mid-October, forecasting that American households could see their energy expenditures go up as high as 54% compared to the winter of 2021.
The Biden administration is not stupid and they surely aren’t blind. They can read the economic predictions just as the rest of us can. The only difference is they chose to ignore the warning signs purely for political purposes.
It’s a sociopathic governing style that Democrats have perfected over the years.
