3.69 at QuikTrip where we fill up. 20% increase since just before Christmas. Price went steadily down thru the elction but has been going up like a SAM out of Hanoi ever since. Coincidence? I don't this so. Hussein and his minions are as crooked as a dog's hind leg. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.

Gas price were below $2 when W left office. Nearly double that now with Hussein. Obama hired an Energy Secy who is on record as saying he wants ours prices on par with Europe. In the $8 to $10 per gallon range. Keep drinking the KoolAid you leftist moron.

Let's say that Obama let them develop and extract oil here. What makes
you think those altruists at the oil companies would sell that oil for
anything less than the world price?

[Moderate]

Oil futures would drop if Obama hinted that he would allow that.

Nobody would sell below market price.

They wouldn't sell it for anything but market price and you wouldn't

have to keep transferring our wealth to other nations, purchasing

Most of our oil comes form North America anyway.

There is only 700 million barrels and it is stored in the ground just
like the rest of the worlds oil. You still have to pump it out and it
would only last 60 days.

Bush proved that the President of the US just "saying" we are planning to drill new oil wells off-shore on either coast, Alaska, and the Gulf would drop world crude oil prices to half--OVERNIGHT!!!

Shale oil, "fracking" alone could create millions of new jobs in only a few months.

The US could be the Saudi Arabia of the world as regards oil production. We would be a supplier, not a buyer.

It is amazing, and very sad, to see the postings of those who are the Koolaid drinkers of the Obama media. Too stupid to be curious enough to change the channel, listen to the radio, read the WSJ, and learn that they have been brainwashed! They believe what Obama wants them to believe! And millions reelected a president whose intention for America is NOT in our best interest and especially not in the best interest of our children and future generations. Obama believes in Socialism. His books say so, his background says that, and it would be astonishing if he believed otherwise. He has never had a job, never been an investor. He hates the concept of entrepreneurism, the phenomenon that built America, the strongest economy on Earth.

So our President is the enemy of every business. He hates your employer because that man is a Capitalist, the enemy of Socialism.

But his philosophical view fails every time someone asks: "where has that worked?"

I don't think refining capacity is a problem. There has been no new
refineries built lately. But the one's we have been improved and
enlarged. Near where I grew up BP/Huffy has greatly expanded the
refinery. It is ten times bigger than it was. All around it was
farmland when I grew up. Now the refinery goes on for miles. And
they are still expanding it.

I agree. The refineries don't shut down to change blends. shutting
