So, drilling for billions of barrels of our own oil won't help a bit, but releasing a few million from the reserves will? What a moron................

Questions to Lord Obama:

How did we get our strategic oil reserves? How are we going to replace them if we follow your plan?

[Sacajaweau]

Tell him winter's around the corner...

The reserve is for special occasions...and using it is NOT a solution.

[calex59]

This was originally a Pelosi idea. Deplete our strategic reserve, right. How anyone can figure that will help but drilling for billions of barrels won’t is beyond me. He is getting increasingly desperate, his polls tanked again today and for the first time(rasmussan)he is behind McCain by 1 point. His internals must really look bad!

[kabar]

And drilling creates jobs in the US. Of course, they will probably be filled by illegal aliens.

A windfall profits tax on big oil to give families a thousand-dollar rebate...

Since the Federal Government makes more money per gallon of oil than the "big oil" companies and does absolutely NOTHING to earn it, let's "tax" big gubmint!

[azhenfud]

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.

REmember whin clinton released the reserves when gas prices when up 3 cents?

[river rat]

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.

[DungeonMaster]

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.

[R_Kangel]

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.

[avacado]

Dumbo! You ain’t gonna be President so just sit down and STFU!

[Holicheese]

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

[Non-Sequitur]

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.

[firewalk]

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.

[ksen]

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.
