Having found himself on both sides of nearly every major political issue at some point, it was only a matter of time before President Obama proposed doing something that he had previously derided as costly and unnecessary.
As part of a wider plan to subsidize a nation-wide transportation plan that would exclusively utilize vehicles powered by green energy, Obama has put forward a $10 tax on each new barrel of oil made in the US. The idea is that the increased prices will cover the costs of the green transportation, which is estimated to cost $20 billion at the very least. Such an estimate does not take into account the additional millions which will be needed for further research and integration of the vehicles into the transportation system.
Obama’s gas tax scheme also puts him at odds with what he once had to say about such an idea. Believe it or not, there was a time when he not only opposed taxing gas, but argued that doing so would disproportionately hurt the poor.

You don’t have the authority to levy any taxes !!!!!
Why is he still in office???
TRUMPER, we support U 100%.
and what he means about the poor – the Seniors that you kids are going to be in years to come and they will come soon for you – just like it did for us when Pelosi said that 55 and over are the elderly.
Will hurt everyone and ruin what little economy is left. 4.9% unemployment? Bulljibe.
He took credit for the prices below because every hard working American was and is loving lower gas prices , now he wants to ruin one of his so called accomplishments . This guy is a total fraud .
Jail Obama!!! You, so called Congress and the House of Representatives do your dam job. Obama has been in office for seven years, but has yet to produce a copy of his US birth certificate!!! Don’t you think it is time to get of your asses and throw him in jail!!! Muslims were outlawed in 1953 and the rule has not changed. The only reason that Obama has any power is because Congress and the House of Representatives is not doing their jobs!!! It is time to force you to do your jobs!!! You were elected by the people of your state. You have failed them! Remember we will hold you accountable to the maximum extent possible! Obama does not plan to stay in the US, when he finishes. Why do you think he bought property outside the US? At last count, Obama has broken over a hundred laws! What burns me up is that he is using the social security number of a dead man. The question is why Congress and the House of Representatives have allowed him to do this, knowing it is illegal!!! Get off your asses and do the jobs you were elected to!!! If not we can all kiss our asses good by.
Proving once again totally out of touch with hard working Americans , thanks ole traitor !
He isn’t stupid though
and guess what the cause and effect it will have on you: Truck drivers paying more for gas and the products inside of them going to the store will make sure the prices for those things in the store will go up. Then you have businesses who have products to sell, their prices will go up and Electric will go in the business and so much more that the employers will not get a raise, for the business will be paying higher prices for everything they have to deal with. So it goes up and up and businesses will close for they will not be able to pay for the upkeep or their employees or be able to pay themselves.
