This will further raise oil prices and the Right will criticize Biden even more, despite clamoring for a Russian oil ban. [/quote]

I voted for Biden but he is digging his own grave.[/quote]

In what way? [/quote]

He needs to make a better case for why another far off war in a distant place should necessitate American incurring the sacrifices he is asking them to make in the near term and combine it with a cogent explanation of why such a sacrifice is necessary given that we had a bunch of oil  and energy independence under Obama and Trump, along with lower gas prices. His challenge is that the risks of climate change and "fall of democracy" seem remote and attenuated(despite apocalyptic language), while the pain of inflation and gas prices are very imminent, very tangible, and very real.

This.  
Don't forget that he won the last election by a few points. It was not a landslide.  People's memories are very short and they will tire of high gas prices very quickly and forget about the people of the Ukraine.[/quote]

This is the opening salvo. I think they're gonna have to do better than this. Ukraine will be old news soon.

[quote]We're banning all imports of Russian oil and gas and energy," Biden said in remarks from the White House. "That means Russian oil will no longer be acceptable at U.S. ports and the American people will deal another powerful blow to Putin's war machine."

The president warned that the move would probably increase gas prices in the U.S., but that it was necessary to ramp up sanctions pressure on Russia's economy for its war on Ukraine.

“Putin's war is already hurting American families at the gas pump," Biden said. "I’m going to do everything I can to minimize Putin's price hike here at home.”[/quote][/quote]
