MANCHESTER, N.H. - Hillary Clinton predicted Saturday that just electing her President will cut the price of oil.

When the world hears her commitment at her inauguration about ending American dependence on foreign fuel, Clinton says, oil-pumping countries will lower prices to stifle America's incentive to develop alternative energy.

"I predict to you, the oil-producing countries will drop the price of oil," Clinton said, speaking at the Manchester YWCA. "They will once again assume, once the cost pressure is off, Americans and our political process will recede."

“I want to take those profits.”

This will obviously make the prices go down........

Time to read up on Mao and the little red book. /s

If they do drop, the question is for how much and for how long?

Saudi Arabia wishes to milk the infidels for as much as they are worth.
They manipulate prices to maximize utilization and profit.
They do not love us and never forget it.

If Hillary believes she can control this card,
I believe she is more likely to be ridden like a $20 whore

The remarkable thing isn’t that she said it. It’s that the New York Daily News ridiculed her for saying it. Imagine how history would be different if the media always treated the Clintons with this kind of skepticism.

Unfortunately, someone stupid enough to consider voting for her is stupid enough to believe it. We have a lot of really, really ignorant people in this country . . . a sad state that the Rats have carefully cultivated and maintained for many years.

In a way, she could be right. In general, if any Democrat wins the presidency, Wall Street will crash, we go into a depression, demand for all goods goes down and deflation results as producers and retailers become desperate to make a sale of anything.

Good point.

Hillary quote "The other day the oil companies recorded the highest profits in the history of the world. I want to take those profits.

They will either buy her off (Intended) or they will put the country and the society first, and Do The Right Thing about her.

I think she has been called a witch for so long that she’s finally been convinced that she really is one, and can wave a magic wand and repeal the laws of supply and demand.

I don’t even understand what she said. This is nothing new for me. I see her lips moving but it all sounds like “yabba dabba do do”.

Is she going to do as well as Jimmuh Cahter in “reducing dependence of foreign oil”?

“I drink coffee every morning with a group of older people who are in denial about why the price of gas is going up. They will believe her. Sad.”

I suggest that you bang your cup down on the table to get their attention and slap down a printout of her statement that she would take all of the oil companies profits for the common good and ask them how that action would reduce prices.They deserve no courtesy just because they’re getting blue haired. Maybe you could spike their coffee with a little “Centrum Silver” right before you do the slapdown. By the way, I’m 47 so I’m not that far from being “older” myself.

Thanks for posting this article. Merry Christmas!!!

“Hillary Clinton predicted Saturday that just electing her President will cut the price of oil.”

Eleanor Roosevelt told her.


“When the world hears her commitment at her inauguration about ending American dependence on foreign fuel,”

If you elect me, I will promise anything. I’ll say anything.


“Clinton says, oil-pumping countries will lower prices to stifle America’s incentive to develop alternative energy.”

Oh yeah. Lowering oil prices will stifle us and keep us dependent on OPEC, which see seems to be in favor of.

Didn’t Democrats say the very same thing prior to the 2006 elections?

Didn't botox Nancy promise to bring down the price of gas. (I think the botox queen may have had gas at that time)

SHE is not that stupid. SHE understands that oil producing nations do not set the price of oil although they collude to determine the supply level. Demand for petroleum products will not fall unless SHE and her minions can force rationing of energy on us. She may be planning to declare an energy emergency and force rationing. Bio fuels are not going to have any impact for a long time if ever. More than likely, the push for biofuels will result in a boondoggle forcing us to buy a fuel product that we do not want.
