Do you speak English? Fair question nowadays.
Reigning in speculators = moving oil trading markets out of the USA and abandoning valuing oil in dollars?
Yes? No? Maybe?
wow - what a Klymer!
there’s a rigidity in washington d.c.
in both the u.s. congress and presidency
concerning energy.
just heard t boone pickens on bill handel am 640, los angeles.
he praised mayor antonio villaraigosa for his energy views.
the mayor is an opportunist.
A former boxer? LOL!
Reid has an energy policy? who’d a thunk? I mean penalizing ‘speculators’ is sure gonna do a whole lot to ease the price of fuel...
funny how the president announces that he is ending the prohibition against drilling and the price of oil has been dropping ever since, except when pelosi said that she would not let the house drop it’s drilling bans.
Senator Reid, are you familiar with the term ‘9%’?
Does this turd realize that if the US starting drilling ferviously, the futures market he is trying to kill would be driving the cost of oil down very quickly.
Former boxer? My cat could kick his butt..
>”Turn up your Miracle Ear,”<
Why don’t YOU start talking with a manly voice instead of whispering like a librarian.
Former boxer. I’d like a few rounds in the ring with him. He can bring Pelosi with him and I’ll box both of them at the same time. These Demotwits cease to amuse me.
Wow. Did he hand out preferred phrases and terms?

Reid needs to be reminded that he is a public servant and lives off the taxpayer. Hey Senator,just shut up and answer the questions. If your boxer shorts are in a twist over a few questions,RESIGN!!!!
Harry Reid says “Coal makes us sick”. Well, these numbers are gonna make him sicker. While he fiddles with ‘oil’, coal takes off. Seems he can’t control everything!!
Arch Coal’s 2Q earnings triple on soaring prices

ST. LOUIS (AP) Arch Coal Inc. said Friday its second-quarter profit tripled on soaring global prices and tighter coal supplies, easily beating Wall Street expectations.
The St. Louis-based company, one of the nation’s biggest coal producers, raised its earnings forecast for 2008, citing what Arch’s top executive called “our confidence in coal market fundamentals and in the company’s future growth prospects.”
Arch reported net income of $113 million, or 78 cents per share in the latest April-through-June period. That compared with $37.6 million, or 26 cents per share, during the same period last year, in which Arch’s profit dove 46 percent after it reined in production amid a softer market.
So far all I have heard from Reid, Pelosie and the Obamameister is :
1. Higher Gasoline PRICES
2. More taxes on Gasoline
3. More Bicycles
4. More Taxes on alternative energy usage
5. Anything to spread the pain to business and citizens
He should have asked her if she knows the difference between "reign" and "rein."
Oh really what else does it consist of? Shouldn't that read "which consist only of reigning in the energy futures markets".
*snort* This won’t endear Dingy Harry to the MSM, will it? I’m hoping they’ll start looking more closely at the Democrat proposals and report them for exactly what they are; the means to stifle the economy to achieve their socialist and environmentalist goals. Oh, and more importantly right now, to try to make the Republicans look bad so they can take back the White House in November and have an uncontested chance to implement that socialist agenda.
