CBS Spins Obama's 'All-Time Low' Poll: 'Little He Can Do' With Gas Prices

By Matthew Balan | March 13, 2012 | 15:14

A A

Charlie Rose and Bob Schieffer were President Obama's Amen corner on the issue of gas prices on Tuesday's CBS This Morning. Rose shamelessly claimed, "The President has a point...There's little that he can do...in the short term to affect gas prices, and gas prices hurts his political chances." Schieffer replied, "That's right on all counts...the problem is...people think there are things he can do about it."

The morning newscast, as well as Monday's CBS Evening News, mentioned how "President Obama's approval rating is now at an all-time low," and as anchor Erica Hill explained, "one of the big reasons? Rising gas prices." Both programs, however, omitted mentioning the Democrat's rejection of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, their slowing of drilling permits, his energy secretary's endorsement of higher gas prices (which he walked back later on Tuesday), or his party's backing of cap and trade.

Rose brought on Schieffer during a segment 14 minutes into the 7 am Eastern hour, and after playing a soundbite of the President claiming that "we don't have a silver bullet when it comes to gas prices," gave his "the President has a point" statement. In addition to agreeing with his colleague, the CBS veteran continued by spouting the left's own talking points on the issue and ignoring the President's own role in the matter, all the while acknowledging the sticker shock from millions of Americans:

Charlie Rose, CBS News Anchor; Bob Schieffer, CBS News Anchor | NewsBusters.org SCHIEFFER: I mean, the fact of the matter is, the reason gas prices are so high is because you have, you know, the turmoil that's going on in the Middle East; you have oil speculators; and you have China, which continues to buy more and more oil; and those are the things that are really keeping gas prices up. But people go to...that gas pump and they look at that gauge. I went myself the other day, Charlie, and bought my first $75 tank of gas, (Rose laughs) and I wasn't buying premium gas....

ROSE (laughs): Exactly- what kind of car are you driving?

SCHIEFFER: And there are a lot of folks around here that- I mean, I'm getting along fine; I'm not, you know, right now- but $75 for a tank of gas, and it stares you in the face, and it really makes you mad.

ROSE: And many Americans need their car to drive to work, and so, therefore, it hurts them in a very deep way.

Hill then asked Schieffer, "We know Newt Gingrich has been out there saying, look, I'm going to get gas down to the $2.50 mark....the White House...coming out and really hammering on that point. Are they getting nervous about where this narrative is going in the country?" He answered, in part, with the oft-used line that "people are frustrated with both sides. They don't see anybody riding to the rescue yet...even though the economy is looking better; even though the market is up; even though, you know, unemployment is coming down- going to that pump and looking at that $75 tank of gas...people are really nervous and they're really frustrated now."

The previous evening, CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley and correspondent Anthony Mason also did a segment on the President's low approval numbers 45 minutes into the 6 pm Eastern hour, and acknowledged that the chief executive could do something about the high gas prices, but only gave one example, and still gave cover for him:

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

MASON: Scott, in our poll we asked, 'Are gas prices something a president can do a lot about?' More than half said yes. Historically, that's been the case during the George W. Bush presidency, too. A majority regularly told us a president can do a lot to affect gas prices. So rightly or wrongly, Scott, this is being laid at Mr. Obama's doorstep.

PELLEY: But is there much that a president can do about the price of gasoline?

MASON: One thing a president can do is tap into the strategic petroleum reserves, Scott, our emergency oil supply. It's only supposed to be used in the event of severe supply disruptions, but President Obama did tap into it last June, and gas prices fell about three cents a gallon over the next two weeks. But they'd already been on their way down for a month, so it's difficult to tell, Scott, what impact that move actually had.

Scott Pelley, CBS News Anchor; & Anthony Mason, CBS News Correspondent | NewsBusters.org PELLEY: You were telling us last week about the role that Wall Street plays- people investing in oil futures.

MASON: It's a big one and it's growing, Scott. The amount of money being bet on oil prices going higher has hit record levels in recent weeks. By several estimates, it's added about $20 a barrel to the price of oil, or 50 cents to every gallon of gas at the pump. And there's not much, Scott, that the President can do about that.

The full transcript of the Bob Schieffer segment from Tuesday's CBS This Morning, which began 14 minutes into the 7 am Eastern hour, is available at MRC.org.

Of course the media said the same thing when gas prices were rising during Bush's time in office. I'm sure the media recognized that Bush couldn't do anything about rising gas prices either. It would be logical to assume that the media would impose the same standard on Obama that they have on Bush.

What good is a short term fix for long term increases?

Submitted by CobraMan on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 3:25pm.

CBS, this may come as a surprise to you, as much as it is to Obama, but we haven't been witnessing a short term increase in gas prices, but a long term one. So, please, explain to us how a short term fix is going to help? We need a LONG TERM fix to this problem, and that is WELL within the powers of the President, and Congress, to achieve. The problem is that he, like they, just don't want to do anything about it.

So, despite the fact that we're experiencing, and likely to continue to experience, a long term increase in gas prices, something that has a long term negative effect on our economy, what do YOU do to address the problem? You claim that Obama can't do any short term fixes, so we should all just bite the bullet, right? That is exactly what you're doing!

Gas did go down when

Submitted by MaximusBraveheart on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 3:29pm.

Gas did go down when Bush or Congress acted. Went to $1.80 or so in 2008 right? NOW Obama ACTED and it went straight up & up! So if his REPLACEMENT does a 180 degree change, they will collapse back down! VERY hight degree of certainty.

I remember it quite clearly.
On CBS Katie Couric sucked a lemon and scowled very very disapprovingly as she told us how gas has risen to a historic TWO DOLLARS a gallon.
And when it hit three bucks they were giving us sob stories about people who had to decide between buying gas or food.
They did it.
They did it.

One very big missing item, Fed printing money.

Submitted by AFVet on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 3:38pm.

One very big reason that gas prices have risen is the devaluation of the American Dollar. The Fed has been printing money like wild fire and this has devalued the American Dollar. This in turn makes everything cost more, from gasoline to food at the store.

To get the prices to come down we need to stop printing money ASAP, start drilling off the east and west coasts, drill in ANWR, drill everywhere we know there is oil, get rid of all of the special blends of gasoline all over the USA and have one blend, and remove all of the drilling bans and over regulations that the EPA has pushed on the American people.

If we did these things we could get the price of gasoline to drop like a rock. To say that the President has no power over the price of gas and oil is a lie. Heck, President Bush removed the off-shore drilling bans when gas was over $4/gallon in 2008 and the price dropped to $1.84/gallon. Then Hussein Obama was anointed and reinstituted the bans, started printing money left and right and we have seen the prices on gas and food skyrocket.

Maybe our president should contact his predecessor. He and all his lib friends thought HE could do something about it. They disagreed with what he did, but they thought he certainly had the power to raise prices.

Obama doing exactly what he wants with gas prices.

Submitted by Newsbubba on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 4:16pm.

He and Chu want higher gas prices, and they are getting higher gas prices.

Every policy they have put in place was to cause the price of gas to rise, so don't tell me that the RBFSOB can't affect the price of gas.

When he was asked the ONE question on gas prices by Ed Henry at his ONE press conference, he said ,"No, I would be crazy to want the price of gas to rise during an election year." Nobody bothered to ask the RBFSOB if once the election is over, does he want the price to continue to rise.

Submitted by celator on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 5:02pm.

When Obama says there is little (or nothing) he can do to lower gas prices, we can use our magic decoder ring and see that he is actually saying,"There is nothing I will do to lower gas prices." He really is living the story in "Dreams From My Father". Obama, Sr., a drunk and a womanizer was a committed Communist determined to bring down "colonial" nations to punish them. We've got your number, You can fool some of the people some of the time..... well, Barry, you know the rest. Start packing those moving boxes. You're going back to Chicago real soon.

...saying his announcement wouldn't have any effect on gas prices for 10 years.

Gas price started dropping the day of his announcement and continued to steadily decline for many months afterwards.

Liberals are simply clueless about how economics and the free market work.

Of course, now, with gas prices sky rocketing and Their Chosen One (TM) at the helm (have they mentioned lately he's black! In case you forgot about about his skin color for a second, like Chris Matthews almost did), the president has no control over such things.

Submitted by hbnolikeee on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 9:51pm.

For the last 30+ years we have been pushing for more oil drilling and exploration, but instead we outsourced. So now we're paying our enemies for their oil and becoming more and more dependent on them. But somehow, it's not about policy. If we drilled then, we could to the Middle East to "pound sand" cause other than their oil, that's about all they have.

Further this notion that if we started tomorrow we wouldn't see any of that oil for years and so the price wouldn't drop is nonsense. If you do that, your sources will shake in their boots about having ZERO income from their oil sales to the US and would drop their prices tomorrow.

This poll was conducted by telephone from March 7-11, 2012.

No. It wrapped up a scant 2 days prior to Mr. Balen's blog. It is brand spanky new not a MONTH OLD claiming to be new. But I already said that.

The troll has to mimic and repeat what I post because it once again has become trapped in it's own stupid and lies. Someone desperately secretly wants to be like The Vet in his heart of hearts.

Copy me all you want troll. You have never come up with anything original anyway. The best you can come up with are quotes from me.

Thanks for the permission?

Using one post after another as a character attack on another poster. Yep, I was clearly wrong in labeling you a troll. What was I thinking?

10. Refuse to admit your errors.
Never ever admit your errors no matter how blatant they are. If you find no way out and have to admit that you are wrong, phrase it so that you can accuse your opponent of being wrong.

Yes. Turn it back on the word bully. Dissemble and lie for 10 posts. Then admit you lied to the word bully from the beginning, thus showing your troll colors. But if you are called a troll, my my my, don't let that stand. Time for the full on insult posts. When pointed out how trollish that is, turn it back on the word bully and say it is him attacking you for being the admitted liar and troll you are.

I actually hoped it would end

....when I politely said that we had nothing left to discuss, but you could not leave it that and had to hijack another post. Sigh. Bored with you now, it was kind of fun at the beginning, but I am turning in for the night.

Ah yes. The "nothing left to discuss" infamous post.

The one where you repeat your lie to me --- I realized you did not agree...

Right before the post where you admit your lie to me --- I actually understood it the first time

But it is the word bullies fault again. He is mean to the trolls and lying to the word bully is perfectly understandable because word bullies hijack "posts". Not your fault at all for lying to the word bully and playing dumb with him so he will keep responding until you finally admit to lying to the word bully. Word bullies fault!

Oh, and you hijack threads not posts. Kinda hard to hijack someone's post when you don't have their password. Don't wanna call you a a 'tard or a troll when you say stupid things. My heavens, that upsets trolls and 'tards when you say that. No. So I won't..

Some day...

One day you will allow to seep through those thick membranes of yours that polls, in the end, all suck.

The ONLY poll that matters is the one that will be taken on the first Tuesday in November.

LOL - About the only things landing on my Webers these days are burgers, dogs, chops, and maybe a whole chicken once in a while.

And yeah, I used to grill up a Porterhouse on a Saturday night (if I wasn't going out), eat the strip side for dinner, and save the fillet side for breakfast the next morning.

And I made sure to cook a couple of extra baked taters, and make hash browns with them the next morning.

LOL - Went great with scrambled eggs with cheese.
