Tag: Call The PresidentBy JGillman, Section News
During an official weekly Democratic radio address, Stabenow encourage listeners to call the President about gas prices. Kinda.
Gas prices across Michigan skyrocketed overnight as the average price for a gallon of gas in Michigan jumped to 15 cents ($4.060) higher than the national average ($3.911). The prices are affecting Michigan drivers, and likely to affect food and hard goods pricing as well. Senator Debbie Stabenow blamed the President and encouraged citizens to call the President and Congress, "[T]ell them that you're fed up with record gas prices, and you want a plan that puts people first." Senator Debbie Stabenow blamed the President for the price of gas during the official Democratic Radio Address, May 8, 2008. Disingenuous partisan rhetoric, or does Stabenow blame President Obama like she blamed President Bush?
When a Republican occupied the White House, Stabenow blamed gas prices on the President. Michigan Republican Party Chairman Bobby Schostak has now demanded Stabenow hold President Obama to the same standard. Said Schostak in a recent release: "These unaffordable gas prices are hurting families, could cripple our economy and middleclass taxpayers deserve to know why Senator Stabenow refuses to hold Pres. Obama accountable.The sad reality is Debbie Stabenow puts rhetoric and politics ahead of people, she refuses to pursue policies that will lower gas prices for families, she refuses to support the Keystone pipeline, and she refuses to stand up to the President. Yeah. By golly, you cant say something, establish a position, and then because it doesn't fit YOUR favorite person's purposes, change your mind. BAD Debbie. BAD!
