Dear NBC,
YOU LIE!
The entire Oil/Gas fiasco started under our current President’s Daddy, Jimmy Carter. At the time we were importing about 30% of our Oil, The DOE was created for the SPECIFIC purpose of Reducing our dependence on “Foreign Oil”. Now we Import 75%-80% of our Oil. At the time of it’s creation I went to work in the oilfield, fresh out of high school. We were Ordered to Shut down 25% of the Producing wells and reduce output on another 25%. All of this is by design by very EVIL PEOPLE, whose sole purpose in life is to Have Power and Control over Others, so That they can be the one with the solution to your problems, never mind they created them in the first place. Get Big Brother out of the way and watch what happens to Production, supply and Price. A cheap,abundant supply of energy can only fuel the thirst for freedom and independence, this my friends is Bad for Government.
Pure bull. Take away the speculation that is being driven by problems in the mid east, and the prices fall.
The fuel refining capacity is another matter. But, stop the insane blend problem of which there are many nationwide, and refineries will build up inventory.
Romney is 100% correct, we become oil independent here in North America, and the mid east problem will collapse. We have VAST amounts of energy and all they need be is tapped into.
Total BS. My tagline for the last year says it all.
Stop the EPA, leave it up to the states.
Back in the early 80’s Honda had a small car that would go 45 MPG. US Car lobby did not like it so they bought off the congress to change the “safety standards.”
I am so sick of this, who ever has the most money, they get to make the rules.
So did NBC I think the same thing in 2008? I remembered many articles saying that people were having to choose between gas and food because of high gas prices.
Like anything else it only counts if a Republican is President

There I finished the sentence for NBC.
The mystery is the kind of mentality that when the President BRAGS about wanting higher gas prices the democrats don’t react negatively BUT POSITIVELY!!!!!!....
Must surely be a HIVE mentality.. like Bees or Termites.. maybe Ants.. Whatever the collective does is right.. Just admitting you are a democrat must be embarrassing..
bullshit
