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

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.
Hmmm,
Oil shale? - Messiah says no.
Gulf of Mex? - Messiah says no.
Alaska? - Messiah says no.
At least he’s consistent; consistently short-sighted.
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
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.
“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.
People voted for this. Obama will cause more damage then carter ever dreamed. Idiots drooling whilst watching TV elected him.
The left hears nothing because they control all the media and ALL TV - enabled by idiots who watch it and keep them in business.
200 dollar oil....ever the fear card
will momentarily kill our economy as bad as 20% interest would
i will have a hard time surviving it

G.W. Bush was President, the Suez Canal would be occupied and controlled by NATO troops. With Obama, the Muslim Brotherhood could bar all Western-bound ships and he would do nothing.
Consider that someone like Soros would have had wind of what the regime has in mind for Egypt over the last two years. That’s plenty of time for him to stock up on gold and Brazilian oil ventures.
In 2006 or so, we all expected oil to go through the roof and it did. But it came back down?
So we’ll see it go to 200 or more. We’re already at $3 gallon, it’ll easily double.
Why?
Ammo could easily triple in price, though!
I thought this would be Carter's second term. The similarities are eerie.
Oil prices substantially over $100 a barrel will trigger and economic collapse and the collapse of western civilization because we have failed to allow expanded drilling here or worked on alternative sources of energy like liquefied coal.
Some day soon, Freepers who live in areas where horses are used will be thankful.
I plan to get a Frisian myself.
