THROUGHOUT HIS FIRST TERM, OBAMA HAS PASSED OFF BLAME FOR HIS FAILED ENERGY POLICIES, SAYING HE HAS NO SILVER BULLET

2009

April 2009: Obama: "There Aren't Any Silver Bullets. There's No Magic Energy Source Right Now." OBAMA: "Now, this will not be easy. There aren't any silver bullets. There's no magic energy source right now. Maybe some kid in a lab somewhere is figuring it out. Twenty years from now, there may be an entirely new energy source that we don't yet know about. But right now, there's no silver bullet. It's going to take a variety of energy sources, pursued through a variety of policies, to drastically reduce our dependence on oil and fossil fuels." (President Barack Obama,
Remarks By The President On Clean Energy, Newton, IA, 4/22/09)

October 2009: Obama: "There May Be Plenty Of Room For Debate As To How We Transition From Fossil Fuels To Renewable Fuels -- We All Understand There's No Silver Bullet To Do It." OBAMA: "And that's especially true when it comes to energy. There may be plenty of room for debate as to how we transition from fossil fuels to renewable fuels -- we all understand there's no silver bullet to do it. There's going to be a lot of debate about how we move from an economy that's importing oil to one that's exporting clean energy technology; how we harness the innovative potential on display here at MIT to create millions of new jobs; and how we will lead the world to prevent the worst consequences of climate change." (President Barack Obama,
Remarks By The President Challenging Americans To Lead The Global Economy In Clean Energy , Boston, MA, 10/23/09)

The Average Price For A Gallon Of Gas Was $2.574. (

2010

September 2010: Obama: "And There's Not A Silver Bullet, There's Not One Magic Solution To Our Energy Problems. We're Going To Have To Use A Bunch Of Different Strategies." OBAMA: "So my suggestion is let's both -- let's join hands, Democrats and Republicans, and go ahead and take the leap and try to solve this problem. And there's not a silver bullet, there's not one magic solution to our energy problems. We're going to have to use a bunch of different strategies." (President Barack Obama,

2011

July 2011: Obama: "At The Same Time, It's Also True That There Is No Quick Fix To The Problem. There's No Silver Bullet Here." OBAMA: "For decades, we've left our economy vulnerable to increases in the price of oil. And with the demand for oil going up in countries like China and India, the problem is only getting worse. The demand for oil is inexorably rising far faster than supply. And that means prices will keep going up unless we do something about our own dependence on oil. That's the reality. At the same time, it's also true that there is no quick fix to the problem. There's no silver bullet here. But there are steps we can take now that will help us become more energy independent. There are steps we can take that will save families money at the pump, that will make our economy more secure, and that will help innovative companies all across America generate new products and new technologies and new jobs."(President Barack Obama,

February 2012: Obama: "There Are No Silver Bullets Short Term When It Comes To Gas Prices." OBAMA: "First of all, while there are no silver bullets short term when it comes to gas prices -- and anybody who says otherwise isn't telling the truth -- I have directed my administration to look for every single area where we can make an impact and help consumers in the months ahead, from permitting to delivery bottlenecks to what's going on in the oil markets." (President Barack Obama,

March 2012: Obama: "The Truth Of The Matter Is That There's No Silver Bullet." OBAMA: "The truth of the matter is that there's no silver bullet. A lot of it is being set on the global stage because demand in China and India and other places are up and part of it, also, there's a lot of fears around the Middle East and is there a potential war there." (KABC-LA, 3/12/12)
