Looking for repuke quotes about gas prices in President Clintons

[DiverDave]

term.
I saw a post with the howling from the rethugs, and since I cant donate till the end of next week, I cant search, can someone find the post? Please?

It was a few weeks ago, maybe a month.

I will print them up and distribute to the sheep that forgot what two faced bastards their tinhorn repug heroes are.

Thanks, Dave

1. I cannot find support for it via an actual link

But, it's been repeated enough times and that never stops the RW:

Dick Cheney, 1998, following a temporary spike in gas prices, "High gas prices are the sign of a failed presidency."

2. I don't remember seeing that post...

...However I do have these quotes. Perhaps what you are looking for?

Rep. Terry Everett (R AL): "The Clinton Administration has failed in its duty to develop a policy to deal with our national energy supply and is therefore directly accountable for the higher prices Americans
are now paying at the gas pumps."

Dennis Hastert (R IL): "House Speaker Dennis Hastert accused the Clinton administration Friday of misleading members of Congress about the causes of skyrocketing gas prices in the Midwest."

Rep. Wally Herger (R CA): "Congressman Wally Herger recently denounced the Clinton-Gore Administration's complacency during the current gas price crisis.
'Northern Californians are being held hostage at the gas pump,' Herger said. 'The Clinton-Gore Administration has demonstrated a complete and total lack of leadership in preventing this problem. It is a clear failure of domestic and foreign policy.'"

Larry Kudlow (former Reagan economic advisor & syndicated columnist): "The Clinton-Gore administration’s hapless and incoherent management of foreign policy is nowhere as evident as in their bungling on OPEC’s oil-price hike. ... While crude oil prices could drop to $25 per barrel, they will stay well above the average $20 real price of oil registered over the past ten years. And way above the $10 worldwide average marginal cost of producing new oil. Meanwhile gas prices at the pump are likely to be upwards of $2 per gallon well into the summer."

Glenn Spencer (president of Voice of Citizens Together, a conservative anti Hispanic organization): "In recent weeks, gas prices have surged to their highest level in a decade. Prices for home heating oil and natural gas are expected to rise by about 30 percent this winter. ... With the Clinton-Gore administration's policies largely to blame for the pain being felt by consumers, Vice President Gore's camp has pulled out all the stops to shift blame away
from his own administration."

Various other Republicans: "Representatives Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Menomonee Falls), Tom Petri (R-Fond du Lac), Paul Ryan (R-Janesville), and Mark Green (R-Green Bay) today blasted Energy Secretary Bill Richardson and the Clinton-Gore Administration for their failure to implement a comprehensive energy policy to deal with staggering gas prices Wisconsin consumers continue to face at the pumps."


Hope that helps!
