Obama Mocks Drill, Baby, Drill: ‘The American People Aren’t Stupid’ (2012)
Obama Mocks Drill, Baby, Drill: ‘The American People Aren’t Stupid’ (2012)
"""
You can bet that since it’s an election year, [Republicans] are already dusting off their 3-point plan for $2 gas. And I’ll save you the suspense. Step one is to drill and step two is to drill. And then step three is to keep drilling. (Laughter.) We heard the same line in 2007 when I was running for President. We hear the same thing every year. We’ve heard the same thing for 30 years.

Well, the American people aren’t stupid. They know that’s not a plan, especially since we’re already drilling. That’s a bumper sticker. It’s not a strategy to solve our energy challenge. (Applause.) That’s a strategy to get politicians through an election.

You know there are no quick fixes to this problem. You know we can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices.
