As usual, Hillary is claiming she will do this or that if elected president. The problem is that all the things she promises us are already her responsibility as a US Senator. She is just as empowered to investigate, form a commission, hold hearings, and request action from the departments of justice, treasury, education, state, commerce, etc.....

Why will nobody call her on this?

The oil companies are investigated every election year - at least since 2000 - then around March following the election, there are 3 paragraphs buried well inside the newspapers saying that no collusion, conspiracy etc. was found.

I hate politicians!

"We know that there's market manipulation going on."

Truer words were never spoken you two-faced, cattle futures trading whore.

Appearing on ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos," the Democratic presidential contender said if she is elected in November, she will immediately order an investigation into the industry.

"We know that there's market manipulation going on. So I would launch an investigation if I were president right now by the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission," Clinton said.

That is what the Democrats do well, conduct investigations and blame everyone but themselves. Well, pants suit lady, there is not much to investigate except supply and demand. When demand goes up and up, and supply stays the same, prices go up. It is that simple.

Since we all know that Democrats have disordered minds, knowing for twenty years that we were headed for today's crisis has had zero impact on the dunderheads. Their solution: order an investigation!

Democrats would allow foreign entities to drill for oil off our coasts and then sell it to us. The Democrats sold our naval oil reserves (Bakers Field) to a foreign entity. We already have an oil pipeline in Alaska, but we cannot drill in a barren wilderness for more. We have oil in the Gulf of Mexico, and offshore California, but we cannot tap it to increase our supply. Should we not be working tapping our own oil whilst improving our environmental safeguards to decrease our dependence on foreign oil?

Common sense is too simplistic for disordered minds.

"I think it's been 25 years where we've, you know, largely just been at the mercy of the OPEC countries."

If she says "you know," one more time I'm gonna scream!

Manipulated is correct..By speculators. No real supply problems.

She does more than her share of wasting gasoline and jet fuel!

Despite the headline spin, she’s talking about this:
