The oil industry has really gone and done it this time! Good thing Obama just happens to be there to get this all straightened out.

Not really sure, but seeing our own government won’t let us get our OWN OIL ... we’ll have to get it from SOMEWHERE!!

“In Mexico, federal police commissioner Rodrigo Esparza said the Zetas, a fierce drug gang aligned with the Gulf cartel, used false import documents to smuggle tanker loads of oil to unnamed U.S. refineries.”

Well, does this mean we are going to declare a War on Oil and Obama is going to appoint an Oil Czar?

How do you smuggle oil in any significant quantity? Each Mexican sneaking across the border has to carry a quart of oil with him. :-).
Seriously that's about 133 tanker loads at current price and a lot fewer than that at last years price.

I have to wonder how long before the next headline reads;
"Stolen Mexican Oil Smuggled Into US In Exchange For Firearms To Heavily Arm Violent Mexican Border Gangs."
