Biden administration Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm claimed this week that President Biden “has done more than any president in history to make sure that the price (of oil), insofar as he’s got control, continues to decline.”
Granholm’s bold comments, which she did not bolster with supporting evidence, were made during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“But, again, it can be impacted by what’s happening globally,” Granholm declared. “The president has done more than any president in history to make sure that the price, insofar as he’s got control, continues to decline, and has included asking for increased production both domestically and overseas.”
“Gas comes from oil, and oil is traded on a global market,” she added. “And global events affect the price of oil. But the president has taken unprecedented steps to try to moderate supply and demand by releasing a million barrels per day from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.”

Biden has expressed frustration that Americans would rather see record-high gas prices under his administration reduced than “support Ukraine.”
“For all Republicans criticizing me for high gas prices in America, are you now saying we were wrong to support Ukraine and stand up to Putin?” Biden asked in June. “Are you saying that we’d rather have lower gas prices in America than Putin’s iron fist in Europe? I don’t believe that.”
The answer to Biden’s question may lie in his plummeting approval ratings, which have been performing terribly ever since inflation spiked to record levels under his administration.
“Ultimately, the reason why gas prices are up, is because of Russia,” said Biden in July. “Russia, Russia, Russia. The reason why the food crisis exists, is because of Russia. Russia not allowing grain to get out of Ukraine.”
While most experts agree the military conflict in Ukraine played some part to the high prices of fuel and global food shortage, many point out that inflation, food prices, and gas prices were already rising rapidly under Biden’s watch long before Russia invaded Ukraine in February.

Have to agree. Robert Kennedy was actually an illedigimate president, but even with his liberal for the time mind set , he started seeing the truth and attempted to take appropriate actions, like an intention to bring us back to the gold standard, publish UFO information, and possibly abolish the CIA, among other things he was considering. None of which the deep state had any intention of allowing him to do.
Biden is just willing brainless puppet, a criminal minded, marxist toltalarian who is letting Obama and the CFR Deepstaters pull his strings.

When you have half of the intelligence of a retarded clam you try to justify one stupid act by committing another!

I believe you just insulted clams everywhere. There is a difference between ignorance, a reparable problem, & willful stupidity in pursuit of a death-dealing agenda. Leftists suffer the latter, for the most part.

Granholm has an IQ of 50 or less or is a psychopathic liar. Being a Democrat socialist would find both to be true.

Don’t forget how he brought the gas prices down: by greatly diluting the supplies with ethanol, which destroys engines to burn. Think there might possibly be an ulterior motive there?

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is using the old Soviet Union ploy of the “Big Lie.” Tell the most outrageous story with a straight face and many people will be stupid enough to believe it. Anyone who sees that “the Emperor has no clothes” will be shouted down. Democrats today are relying on the stupidity of the American people, and so far they are being proven correct.

If it was up to this idiot who was the governor of Michigan, the people of Michigan were either idiots, the person was a union member in Michigan or the people of Michigan were just idiots and I side with the latter. Look who they have now and the idiots of Michigan just keep voting these dictators as their govenor.

Does blocking oil pipelines and restricting drilling count as part of his awesome attempts to bring fuel prices down?
