JOE BIDEN ANNOUNCED A BAN ON RUSSIAN OIL IMPORTS TUESDAY, BLAMED U.S. OIL PRODUCERS FOR THE RECENT SURGE IN GAS PRICES, AND SUGGESTED WITH A STRAIGHT FACE THAT AMERICA SHOULD PURSUE A STRATEGY OF “ENERGY INDEPENDENCE” WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY CLAIMING THAT AMERICA IS A “NET EXPORTER OF ENERGY.”; HE DOESN'T REMEMBER THAT 2 YEARS AGO WE WERE ENERGY INDEPENDENT. ALSO, IF WE’RE A “NET EXPORTER OF ENERGY,” WHY DO WE NEED TO “BECOME ENERGY INDEPENDENT.”
