  • This move is just political theater and proves the Obama administration doesn't have a clue what to do next to fix the economy. Gas is high, inflation is high and unemployment is high. How do you like that Hope and Change now?

  • The total amount of oil sloshing around may constitute a gunfight, but we're aiming to make the excess inventory increase significantly. That's not going up against a gun friend, it's just trying to put a bit of downward pressure on the marginal price of oil... This strategy is non-partisan, and has been used by both. Margin increase is my preff, but, whatever . . .
