I’d be willing to endure that if it would implode the Obama Regime once and for all
So why is getting off foreign oil such a problem? Oil companies own the legislature?
It’s Cheney and Haliburton I tell you!!
Part of brocko’s motivation for saying, “Hey, I’ve got an idea; let’s drill”, was to go for the same effect “W” got when he lifted the moratorium when oil hit $147 and gas was $4.25 at the pump: the short-covering caused a price avalanche that brought oil down to $28 and unleaded down to $1.09. It ain’t gonna work. Anybody who is shrewd enough to be trading oil futures knows that brocko has no intention of drilling anywhere, anytime soon.
His other motive, of course, was to be able to say, disingenuously, that he is a centrist, and Republicans should vote with his idiotic global climate change fiasco.
He now has such a track record as a blowhard liar that none of his JUST WORDS... JUST SPEECHES... BS is resonating with anyone any more.
The only one I trust on CNBC is Santelli. The rest are the official political mouthpiece of their NBC bosses and their opinions are worthless.
anyone else remember the endless “Pain at the Pump” stories when gas his $1.99 under Bush?
I am in agreement that Obama laid the seeds for high inflation in all commodities, including oil, when he passed the stimulus package and now the healthcare package.
With regard to oil my concern is that high oil prices give Obama a rationale for a Windfall Profits Tax and a Cap and Trade Tax.
Both of these taxes on top of healthcare taxes are the death knell for USA capitalism.
Now, more than ever, we need to stop Obama in the Senate.
Let’s get heating oil up to $5 by next winter...
Last time I left all my shares that were in Vanguard Energy alone and watched them go up and then back down. This time I might sell some when it reaches a certain point. Oh and I hope my Halliburton & KBR stocks finally go back over their Fall of 2009 levels. AND Finally I hope IF it does go up like y’all are saying that the dummies waiting for Barack to fill up their gas tank heads explode. :)
There will be a double-dip apparent to all soon if this comes to pass. Price of MANY things is affected by oil price.
This scary rise in gas prices is a more serious crisis right now than the national health care problem.
I say saint Obama should apply some of his health care magic to help lower the cost of gas at the pump immediately.
For instance, if gas prices keep rising out of control, nobody will be able to visit his doctor under the recently passed ObamaCare, because he won't be able to afford to drive his car to the doctor's office when gas is $4 or $5 or $6 a gallon.
That’s not a surprise at all. It’s almost $3 a gallon already.
