“to haul profiteers and speculators in to explain themselves with regard to the prices they’re charging for fuel.”

Humm. Technically, everybody in business is a profiteer. That’s the entire reason for being in business. Speculators do not charge high prices for fuel. They never take delivery of fuel. If a speculator bids $4.50 per gallon of regular gas for 2 million gallons to be delivered in one month, and that month comes and the price is $4.25, then he sells his contract at a .25 per gallon loss. If it’s $5.00 per gallon he made .50 per gallon.

What his speculation did was provide liquidity to the marketplace and guarantee the producer $4.50 for the gas that he was about to produce, thereby limiting the producer’s risk. There is nothing “wrong” or illegal about speculating. When you buy stocks you’re speculating that they will go up in value.

What the president meant to say is; “To each according to his need and from each according to his ability.” (Or some-such Marxist twaddle.)

President Vows to Investigate High Gas Prices

Somehow, I am reminded of OJ Simpson's legendary hunt for the REAL killer.

P.S. For anyone who might claim this comment to be even remotely racist, please note that we are no longer able to honor the Race Card at this establishment, and are sorry for any inconvenience that may cause.

Do you thing the investigation will point it’s accusing finger at The Usurper and fellow CommieCrate “Don’t Ask, Don’t Drill” policy?

Here we go, with a string of presidents from both parties, who threaten and hike taxes against oil companies to pay public education employees.

So high gas prices are good, so long a no one makes any money... in Obama's world.

Got it.

This guy is blanking out of his mind and needs to be removed from office.

This is from the same person who said in 2008 that he was fine with gas at $4/gallon, but only wished it hadn’t gone up so fast.

Damn hypocrite. FUBO!
