Obama 2012 Energy Ad - "Twisted Statistics"

The National Republican Trust presents the truth behind the lies in the Obama 2012 Energy Ad. The ad, as noted by many authoritative sources, distorts the facts in a Brookings Institution study that showed that clean energy job growth lags behind even the anemic national job growth. The Obama administration EPA has effectively killed and threatened jobs in a number of sectors. The Defour Group has said that Obama's goal of a 56 mpg for U.S.-made cars will kill more than 200,000 jobs in the automotive industry.

This country is doomed to go the way of Yugoslavia if Odumbo is re-elected.

@CastroLive You're comparing apples to oranges-- GM, the world's largest manufacturer, SHOULD sell more cars than the smaller Japanese automaker. Plus GM has defense contracts for vehicles. And what do you mean by "the auto industry went back up"? Auto sales increases? Over what time? Read the Wall Street Journal or Forbes before you blather.

@Shia2255 on January 20, 2009 the gas pumps said $3.22?

[Shia2255]

@ClassicFIHD They said $3.22

Now it's about at MOST $4.00

Derp.

@plutherus "Because the numbers at my local gas pump don't support that" They don't? So what did those gas pumps say on January 20, 2009?

@ObjectiveObserver4 ask yourself why raising fuel efficiency standards would raise the price of a car. there is no reason why it should. the technology isn't that expensive. it's a minor increase in production cost which the auto industry could easily absorb. especially if it was subsidized.

exonn-mobile spends millions on lobbying to ensure that efficiency standards do not go up. the higher the standards are, the less of their oil we buy.

[OutragedPeople]

@CastroLive - Have you clued in to the news about the exploding Chevy Volt? Another Obama cover up.

[OutragedPeople]

@ObjectiveObserver4 It's not a lie that fuel efficiency standards will kill jobs. An independent consulting firm said that the standards would raise the price of an auto by $10,000, which will decrease demand, which will decrease jobs. Exxon-Mobile makes fuel-- it doesn't have anything to do with raising fuel efficiency standards. Get a grip.

[ObjectiveObserver4]

this is propaganda from the oil industry.

Obama doesn't control gas prices. the oil companies do.

raising fuel efficiency standards won't kill jobs. that's a lie.

it would be slightly less money for the oil companies in annual profits, but it would save Americans a lot of money on gas.

ExxonMobile makes 30-40 billion every year. they have plenty of money to hire workers and raise standards.

@OutragedPeople Under Bush GM was nearly bankrupt. The industry was falling apart. And now It's much healthier than under Bush. And my dear friend, I read forbes and wsj and contribute as well...

[plutherus]

"Gas prices have doubled since Obama took office." Really? Because the numbers at my local gas pump don't support that.
