Remember how 4 very long days ago, the 60 million barrel SPR release was vaunted as being the reason for the second consumer renaissance after it was largely expected it would lead to sub $90 crude, and low $3/gallon gas, and result in every Joe Sixpack going out and buying 3 houses at least?

Just like the Feds can print more money, Obama can continue to release the reserve.

Oh wait.....

Obama hasn’t got a clue ,and evidently neither do his advisors.

It was all political anyway and he gave the imression he cared. That’s all that count in the end. For Obama.

If 60 million did not work, obviously we need to release 120 million in to the supply!

What a load of crap.

Follow any profits made from this ‘deal’ directly to the zer0’s largest campaign contributors.

My first grade grand-daughter has more economic sense than all of the so-called experts.

I just learned last week that "insider trading" rules do not apply to congress. Members of congress have an astounding investment track record vs. the market averages. No wonder so many come in upper middle class and leave as potentates.

And their earning power does not stop even after they left their seats.

And you wonder why so many want to run to ‘represent you’.

So was the Obama administration just trying to generate revenue for the federal government?

“spending millions for a job that nominally “pays” 140 grand”

Spend millions of someone else’s money, paying your “expenses” during the campaign from their money, etc.

I could live with $140 grand (actually, it is $174,000)

Elect me!

Heck, by close of business Friday it was back up to the same price it was on Monday.

Just like the rest of what this bunch of meat heads does... it is a joke and they know it.

Once again, Obama has told the private sector that there is no climate of stability or predictability. Now go hire!
