White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded to questions about high gas prices during the daily briefing by noting it was “really important” that people understood that prices were higher across the globe.
She noted that gas prices in the European Union were $8.15 a gallon, prices in Germany were $8.88 a gallon, and prices in Canada were $6.23 a gallon.
“This is a global challenge, this is something that everyone is feeling across the globe,” she said, arguing that gas prices had risen as a result of Russian President Vladimir Putin invading Ukraine.
She repeated that “everything was on the table” to deal with high gas prices but said that she did not have any information on actions the president would take to help lower gas prices.
“I don’t have anything to preview,” she said.
I look back on the $2.00 - $2.25 I paid per gallon of gasoline, under the previous administration, with fond memories...I just paid $4.60 per gallon to fill up my car. I miss having a proactive president, rather than our current reactive president...
Dem deflection and blaming Putin who Sleepy Joe couldn’t keep the peace with for a second time. Priceless coming from a clown who doesn’t know what a woman is.
Belling had brought up this article today about how Trump predicted this and the left was mocking him for it. It's amazing how often so-called "experts" end up being wrong.

Yup, the US is a big supplier of oil to the world market. Screw up US oil production, lower future production expectations, and watch world oil prices soar. It isn't rocket science.
Once again, the 1% income earners don't really care about high oil prices, they have the money to ride it out. But the lower income earners are freaking devastated, and the Biden admin tells them to buy a $40,000 electric car, and to stop whining about it.
Basically, current administration has no interest in lowering gas prices. End of sentence.
