Obama solution/reaction to high gas prices ("Let them eat cake.")

Posted on Monday, April 11, 2011 11:05:53 AM by k3nn3th

In a modern-day version of "Let them eat cake.", President Obama's answer to rising gas prices is that you should just trade in your vehicle.
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."
Perhaps all of the men and women driving trucks to move equipment and supplies should just transition to hauling what they can in the back of a Prius. As food prices continue to rise because of transportation costs, you just better suck it up. 

This is not a solution. This is not leadership. That he could deliver that line with smirk and a chuckle speaks volumes. Imagine if Bush had said that when gas prices were around $4/gallon. It would have been the lead story on every newscast. Once again, Mr. Obama gets a pass except for in the conservative press.
