Neither drilling nor taping SOR’s will do as much in lowering prices as hitting world futures traders in the wallet.

ONLY when they’ve realized significant loss of wealth in other investments and stocks will they realize their exhuberance over oil has cost them much more than they gain.

Obama’s limitations and incompetence has NOTHING to do with race — he’s simply not very bright or a Marxist dedicated to the destruction of America, or both!

Obama is perhaps the only candidate ever put forward who could make Jimmy Carter look slightly competent.

How can they say that a few million barrels from the strategic oil reserve will help and also say that 10’s of billions of barrels from the gulf and ANWR will only help by 2 pennies per gallon. I hope Dem voters are paying attention.

Both. They the two terms go hand in hand. To be a Marxist, you can’t be very bright in the first place.............

That’s what is so incongruous about the whole thing. On the one hand, they say, “Drilling won’t help.” but on the other they say, “Releasing oil from the Strategic Oil Reserve will help.”
It makes absolutely no sense on any level, and so abundantly so that even an elementary age child could see that it is so...............

The MSM and the uneducated public are having a serious Obamagasm touting this as a brilliant sensible solution to our high gas prices.

That, and taxing the obscene profits of the evil Bush, Cheney oil companies. They control the world you know. McCain is a brain dead puppet of big business and the Evil oil barons.

Yup, that's what I am hearing out there.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. And we all know how anxious a Democratic president and/or Congress will be to replenish any reserves thereby distributed. It would be permanent disarmament as a liberal strategic tool.

Yes, we want someone that has no idea of how the oil industry works or how a business runs to fix the problem!

Barack Obama is proposing tapping the nation's strategic oil reserves to help drive down gasoline prices, his campaign said Monday.

Someone might want to point out that A) it's called the Strategic Oil Reserve for a reason, and B) gas has gone down about 40 cents a gallon without it.

“Barack Obama is proposing tapping the nation’s strategic oil reserves to help drive down gasoline prices, his campaign said Monday.”

I bet Nancy bitched him out for favoring drilling. Made her look bad.

Which leaves us clueless as to whether or not USAmerican liberals see it. But if they are still behind Nancy PullHoseC, they don't see much.
