The announcement is further evidence that an Obama administration would take an activist, populist approach to regulating business. Now remember kids, Government control of privately owned business is called what?
Yes that's right, Fascism.
Then when that drives the economy further down the tubes the nationalization of private businesses begins and that's called what?
Yes that's right, Communism.
Change, it's a two step process.
Vote Obama and do the socialist two step.

Can someone who understands the futures market explain this “Enron loophole”? Should it be plugged? I’m ignorant enough that researching it would be fruitless.

Seriously, how did it come to pass that this Marxist might be our next president?

You have to remember that the socialists have been grooming the populace for 50 years just for this.

Kill the free market in oil?
$5.00 a gallon will be a bargain when Obama gets through with us.

Obama’s solution to the energy crisis: Increase taxes, raise prices, destroy inventives to increasing supply, issue executive order to restrict consumption.

Seriously, how did it come to pass that this Marxist might be our next president? The left is highly motivated, while the right is mildly interested.

Obama strategy — During the primary, run to the Left. During the general election, run further to the Left.

Sigh - it’s never about the positive - producing more - who knows what fields are out there?? . . . or letting the free market come up with alternatives to $4/gas and $0.10/kwh electricity.
It’s always about restricting, conserving, forcing us to mass transit where we will forever be enslaved to the gov’t for our jobs.

Right, lets increase regulations on the oil industry and further undermine America’s ability to become energy independent -— ASAP. He’d give the extreme environmentalists a free hand to further advance their wacko agenda to destroy America!

He can try that crap all he likes. It won’t work! I just filled up my 15.5 gallon tank for $63 bucks. People aren’t looking for hard to understand technical loopholes to solve the problem. THEY WANT LOW GAS PRICES NOW!

Isn’t it a bunch of ex-Enron officers doing the trading on the London market? What jurisdiction does Obama think he has there?
