So we are extracting more domestic oil than ever but......

  • ............gas prices are almost back at $4 a gallon.

    This obviously means Obama is the oil companies henchman just like the last president, right?

    I'm just repeating what the president said a week ago

    "We produce more oil at home than we have in 15 years.”"

    So is your point that the president has almost no sway over gas prices over a long period of time? If so, I would agree. Which was kind of my point.

    And that is one variable in a myriad of crap that determines the price you see at the pump everyday.

    Again, kind of the point regarding the prevailing theme that seeped out of the current president and his fellow members of Congress from 2000-2008 about gas prices and the presidency and how much of a farce that phoniness was.

    Well he did decide to destabilize an oil-producing region by waging war in the area. In turn raising the price of oil and the profits of oil companies. Correlation, causation...just saying. shrug

    That wasn't the argument then and you know it.

    President can't control the price of an international commodity.

    Don't be stupid

    Obama can't stop millions of Chinese from buying Buicks. Even though it is ridiculous that they consider a Buick a luxury car in China.

  • One of you researchers find this.

    What do the oil companies get per gallon?
    What does the government get per gallon?

    Destabilizing would have to refer to a stable country. Rarely is the middle east stable... The war hurt the prices but not a crazy amount or something that would occur if we just left them alone. There is always going to be wars in that region.

  • Record output, but a higher increase in global demand=higher demands

    People in China want to drive now, so despite the fact that we are producing more than ever, prices are still bound to go up.

    Last time there was a world war, 60 million people died. And that was before nuclear bombs.

    Besides, we had enough problems invading war-torn Europe. Wouldn't want to do it to a massive landmass with 1.5+ billion people.

    No thanks.

    There is enough oil out there to comfortably last us another 100 years easy. It's the liberal wackos who try to block things like offshore drilling and the keystone pipeline that are the problem.

    It's not Liberals blocking that pipeline. It's idiotic Republican Nazi farmers from the Nebraska Sandhills doing that. Idiots that think oil is gonna contaminate the abundant water supply and don't realize that water runs away from the heart of the aquifer where the pipeline will run. Funny how no one gave a shit about the aquifer when the first Keystone pipeline was put in place

  • If a Republican was in office right now the media would be bitching non stop about gas prices. Fact.

  • I am a free market Republican. Even I think we need more regulation in the oil futures markets. Over 95% of trades made never come to delivery. It's just guys gambling, never ever planning on taking delivery. I'm a fairly intelligent dude, and I have no answer(other than manipulation) why a gal of gas costs the same at the pump now as it did when crude was at $140(it's about $95 right now).

    And if we were allowed to drill ANWR like proposed 8 years ago we would be seeing the benefit of that right now

    Obama can't control it the same way Bush couldn't control it, but that argument wasn't made in 2006 the way it is now.
