Obama says he wants oil producers to boost output

As the high cost of gasoline takes a toll on politics and pocket books, President Barack Obama said Tuesday he is calling on major oil producers such as Saudi Arabia to increase their oil supplies to help stabilize prices, warning starkly that lack of relief would harm the global economy.

"We are in a lot of conversations with the major oil producers like Saudi Arabia to let them know that it's not going to be good for them if our economy is hobbled because of high oil prices," Obama told a Detroit TV station.

His remarks signaled a broad new appeal in the face of skyrocketing gasoline prices in the United States and they came as he reiterated a call for Congress to repeal oil industry tax breaks.

“A Harvard graduate”

So we’re told. But can’t be sure. One seriously wonders if he ever graduated from ANY school.

“Alaska, Texas and the Gulf States should be withdrawing from the Union....”

I wish they’d hurry up. We’re ready to move!

You haven't seen anything yet as the value of the dollar continues a monumental slide globally. And people have to be coerced and led into blaming the “other” for the disastrous pump prices???? The nation is filled with idiots on so many levels. Obama is brilliant because he is doing exactly what he set out to do, and that is destroy this great country. Watch the media ensure we are a third world country, by their efforts to re-elect him. No reasonable candidate wants that scrutiny to run against him. Who wants the branding of racism, etc....

Obama - just rescind your policies which have caused oil prices to go up - namely your moratorium on drilling and bombing of Libya.

US - Saudi relations are at a really low point currently. George Bush is looking more like a foreign relations genius. At least we still had friends in the middle east during his tenure.

I guess the moron forgot he shut down Gulf of Mexico drilling, cancelled 2 lease sales, shut down Arctic drilling, and got the EPA to go after companies for emitting greenhouse gas. He will not get one red nickel for his election campaign from the energy industry. He has nearly put us out of business.

"We are in a lot of conversations with the major oil producers like Saudi Arabia to let them know that it's not going to be good for them if our economy is hobbled because of high oil prices," Obama told a Detroit TV station.

Saudi response: Stop devaluing the dollar, and the price will stop rising.

The Saudis paid for Obama to go to Harvard.

How much extra did they pay for the degree?

"You shall no longer give the people oil
as before. You shall lay on them more than the
quota of oil which they made before.
You shall not reduce it.
You shall not reduce any oil from your daily quota."

For every $1 the Saudis spent to own a hunk of 0bama they will make $1,000.
