I think the left is going to get very tired during the next 22 months of hearing over and over and over that Palin was right.
I think $300
I think $300
If oil goes sky high and shortages develop,then Obama’s drilling ban is going to come back and bite him in the ass real hard.
Weird how no one reported on Obama lifting the ban on the Muslim Brotherhood leader, than Bush wouldn’t allow into this country, dontcha think?
Hmmm,
Oil shale? - Messiah says no.
Gulf of Mex? - Messiah says no.
Alaska? - Messiah says no.
At least he’s consistent; consistently short-sighted.
$300 will give us a real depression.A true economic collapse.
Good thing that obama put Ken salazar in charge of our offshore drilling. He effectively clamped down on all new drilling with the permitting process. Just don’t issue new permits. Problem solved. Gee, I guess they never thought that the mideast might blow up and our foreign oil supply would dry up.
Democrats want us all to freeze in the dark, but the elite leaders will be nice and cozy this winter.
If there is a way to go over the head of the clown in the WH to drill our own oil...it’s time to do it!
It’s coming, probably by summer if this crap keeps up. Figure on $6 (or more) gas also.
$400.00 anybody
I wish bush the first and bush the second as well as Clinton and Obama would have had more faith in the Americian style of government and promoted that form of government across the world like IKE and Truman did to Japan and Germany. Instead of excepting the left’s narrative of multiculturalism and saying one form of democracy is much like the other. If they would have insisted that countries taking aid adopt our Constitutional ideas the radicals would not have the power they now have in the middle east. instead they embraced dictators, strongmen and weak democracy without a bill of rights or a seperation of powers.
Until gas in $5 a gallon or more, Obama will not be happy.
The thing I think the overly pessismistic are assuming too quickly is that the same kind of revolutions will necessarily take place in Saudi Arabia or any other nation with oil. As backward and badly governed as the oil rich arab nations are, just having the luxuries they have means that kind of revolution is highly unlikely. People there simply do not have as much to be angry about-for many arabs of the north, i.e. Egypt, Jordan, etc, the resentment towards the oil rich arabs of the south is probably a part of what is driving their furvor.
Even if we did have lose access to the Mid East, then there should be no reason why we cant just immediately amp up our own oil production (and maybe start looking to other energy sources, naturally a subject of debate) and use some of our reserves if we really need to. Worse case scenario should be brief periods where oil is not readily available in excess, and we cant afford to make fun of canadians anymore, followed by periods where we have our own oil.
I don’t think so. the economy will roll over before $5.00/gal. the decreas ein demand form a 25% unemployment rate will keep the price of gas down to around $4.00-$3.75/gal.
As the present recession showed in 2008 the economy just can not handle $4.00/gal gas. Loans go unpaid, homes get forclosed on, people go hungry etc etc.
You are clueless about the middle east.
I imagine the House of Saud has probably got a contengiency team (with Americans on it) on 24-7 by now.
Saudi has always been unstable. And violent.

“Also very important is the geographic location just across the canal is Saudi Arabia...”
Wow, who ever wrote this is not all that well acquainted with geography.
How embarrassing.
