So what is the connection? Are you saying traders have raised the price out of fear that Bush will attack Iran and once he is out and a dem is in then that fear subsides? Is that what you are thinking? Just curious

I think he is refering to Bush has kept his oil buddies rolling in the dough while in office and once he leaves office he will no longer have control of the market.

I thought of that angle but then thought "naaw" a FReeper wouldn't be thinking like that. But you could be right. There is no shortage of those kind of people. Some believe in contrail conspiracies. :-)
