FTFY

I expected that, but an objective person would want to hear the whole clip.

I hear you, but personally tired of hearing them lying and playing the blame game. It’s not like anything new will be said. The only reason they interviewed him is so they can make it interesting by interrupting him.

Not disagreeing with you, but I'm personally tired of snippets of clips that appeal very strongly to one's preconceived notions and are widely shared but don't stand up under even light scrutiny. Not saying all of them or even most of them are, but I've seen enough to get the Boy who cried wolf syndrome from them.

Do you have a clip where he isn't cut off mid-sentence?

No. But would like to hear the entire interview. FFTP

“U.S. gas prices have fallen for seven straight weeks and are approaching an average price of $4 a gallon, easing the pain of record-high fuel costs amid shrinking global demand for oil.

The average cost of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline sank to $4.16 Wednesday, the 50th straight day that prices have declined, according to OPIS, an energy-data and analytics provider. That is a 17% decline from the previous high of $5.02 a gallon set back on June 14, according to OPIS.

Global demand for oil has fallen in recent weeks as economic growth has slowed around the world, including in China, analysts said. Demand data and consumer surveys also suggest Americans are driving less.”

Despite his faults, Biden has been good at getting what he wants - lower gas consumption. The best way to achieve that goal is to lower either the supply or the demand (economic activity). Biden has spectacularly managed to achieve both.

Blame him when it goes up and blame him when it goes down. Having the largest release ever from the SPR I guess lowered supply. Some can just never look at things objectively.

Some forget it wasn't Biden that basically shutdown our entire economy, but he was left with the mess.

Where do you see anyone blame him? Just stating an observation based on the facts above

“Global demand for oil has fallen in recent weeks as economic growth has slowed around the world, including in China, analysts said. Demand data and consumer surveys also suggest Americans are driving less.”

Releasing barrels from SPR increased supply just like draining your savings account increases your wealth.
