Everybody remembers who the Biden administration blamed for record high gas prices and inflation (in addition to the Big Oil greed that just coincidentally started when Biden took office): “Putin’s price hikes!”
I know gas prices are painful. My plan will help ease that pain today and safeguard against it tomorrow.
I'll continue to use every tool at my disposal to protect you from Putin’s price hike. And I’m calling on Congress to put aside partisanship. Let’s meet this moment together.

Americans are feeling Putin’s gas price hike at the pump.
That’s why today, I’m authorizing the release of 1 million barrels a day from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve — and taking steps to lay a new foundation for lasting American energy independence through clean energy. pic.twitter.com/aRQgofiryK

Now that the price of gas at the pump has stopped rising and started coming down (at least for now), it’s clearly time for the White House to stop blaming Putin and start patting themselves on the back. How’s this for a laughable victory lap?
If you live in South Carolina, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, or Tennessee, the average price of gas at the pump is under $4 a gallon.
That's a big deal.

President Biden: "We have some really good news. Gas prices are coming down. In fact, gas prices have fallen every day this summer for 38 days in a row. You can find gas for $3.99 or less in more than 30,000 gas stations." pic.twitter.com/BGTBoVvJqO

This administration couldn’t be more predictable. They make everything much worse, then when things get slightly less worse, they take credit for having tackled the problem. Biden did something similar after businesses were allowed to reopen and then they took credit for “creating” millions of jobs all at once.
This POS is patting himself on the back for $3.99 gas.😂🖕 https://t.co/RCHY83SbOA

I live in Tennessee… I paid 4.09 yesterday
If I ever see prices under $2 again, that will be a "big deal". Until then, kindly STFU. https://t.co/Hb7teenlWJ

As usual, the White House gaslights and then sits back and hopes everybody’s really stupid.
Joe Biden is celebrating his gas price hike up 87% since Biden became president and 30% since he said Americans were being “clobbered” by high prices.
What a damn clown! https://t.co/KNQgfcsePR— Not One Of Biden’s 10M+ Fake Account Followers (@MSMCali) July 22, 2022
They’re trying so hard.
It was under $2 when you came into office. https://t.co/jtU81IaZ2p

It was $2.00 a gallon when you took over, now it is doubled….that is a big deal
But if you live in California it is over 5 or New England it is still over 4, again, that’s a big deal

If the White House blamed Putin for the increase, shouldn’t he be credited with the decrease?
Thanks Putin!

Thanks to Putin for pausing the price hike. https://t.co/3vBKJdTRMv

Isn’t that how this works?
Once again, @POTUS is excited for us to be paying $2 per gallon more than we were paying on his inauguration day. #PutinsPriceReduction https://t.co/I7OD9aNf3V

And Biden would really appreciate it if everybody would thank him for the “incredible transition.”
