I understood that - it’s logical. Quibling about what the SPR drawdown needs would be (e.g., for dire military petroleum needs) is, in fact, pointless and outside the purpose of this ploy.

Whether it is one day, five days or a month is not the point, either. Sure, oil is available from domestic sources, but you’re seriously going to tell me an Obama administration won’t sequester that source for HIS purposes to keep HIS people happy? It is a stunt, period.

SPR - Strategic - STRATEGIC Petroleum Reserves - Think about that and how big this drawdown is and what it is for. There is nothing strategic about it.

Are you trying to claim Obama would try (and only try) to shut down all the privately owned wells and at the same time release oil from the SPR?

I am probably misunderstanding what you are trying to suggest.

Agreed, and I do not think it will happen as described here.

“There is nothing strategic about it.”

Unless you are talking about Obama’s reelection strategy.
