"Nope...he’s just siding with Pelosi. And if anyone believes that he is really open to compromise on drilling, I have some excellent underwater property (without oil rights) that you might be interested in buying.

;-)

Peloser must have given Brawk one helluva smackdown this weekend for saying Friday he may compromise on drilling.

Liberals don’t care. Facts are irrelevant. Truth is insignificant. The only thing that matters is power. Get it. Wield it. Hang on to it. Damn everything else..............

I doubt all other sources would be shut down. I have a hard time believing we would ever need to replace more than OPEC deliveries at any given time.

So the delta is probably about 1 MMBPD less than we have now.

I'm sure (*bama would love to use our reserves...

He could certainly aid enemy nations by depleting our supply of oil,
while not allowing us to drill for our own.

$1K x 100M families = $100 Billion

That appears to be more than all the U.S. oil Co. Profits.

Goes along with Pelosi saying she would sell off reserves to lower crude prices then buy back @ the lower price.

Democrats are economic idiots!

Should have added you NEVER let the market know your intentions or your manipulations of it will be for naught.

The average price for the crude in the SPR is $28.00.

Think of the extreme cost to the taxpayers if it is squandered away, and then refilled at these prices? There goes all those “savings” at the pump that this 35 day reserve would provide. By about 3 fold.

The Democrats are either complete idiots or extremely shrewd, knowing the stupidity of the public. As are the American public for being so terminally ignorant.

McCain's campaign accused the Democrat of flip-flopping. However, the Arizona Democrat recently reversed his own former opposition to drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf.

Finally!

The MSM gets something right for a change! ;^P

In the past, Obama has not advocated tapping the oil reserve, but campaign spokeswoman Heather Zichal said he has reconsidered. "He recognizes that Americans are suffering," she said.

Now, with the dishonest grammar corrected:

In the past, Obama has not advocated adamantly opposed tapping the oil reserve, but campaign spokeswoman Heather Zichal said he has reconsidered. "He recognizes that Americans are suffering gullible," she said.
