30 MM bbl from SPR? What are we starting another war? Did the Saudi's cut us off? Obama Taps Strategic Petroleum Reserve; Will Release More If Necessary - Political Punch Prices were falling anyway. Methinks something smells more rotten than normal in a little Maryland/Virgina enclave. Somebody want us to take our eyes off the ball.
The elite love playing with your minds. They seek total control over every aspect of life; every chance they get to demonstrate their power, it seems like at least one of them gets a h4rd-0n doing so. Go back to sleep, slaves...we're here to help keep you safe. Due to your perfectly natural consumerist lifestyle, this summer is gonna cause you to drive more, we just feel it somewhere in our bones. Out of our gracious consideration for your situation, we feel that it is only right to show you how we can be merciful...(another re-election stunt). Brag, brag, brag. OPEC=Cartel of darkness. We have had it with the corporate cartels and political dynasties (one and the same today) running this show. We're not falling for it any more! They are truly powerless without the slaves supporting them.
Me thinks its a simple political ploy to lower prices a second and make it look to the "tap the reserve types" that Obama actually has a an energy policy other than some green facade backed by his investors. The BS about Libya is just that. In 2007, Libya only imported some 1.1%. They aren't even in the top 5 for US importers. Of course since 2007, we have moved from like 40% imported oil in 2007 to more 60% in 2010? (Maybe someone can confirm those numbers??) Probably has something to do with the BP-Gulf of Mexico deal to some extent. I have no idea what the numbers there looked like prior and after, but I know the thought of drilling off other peoples' shores lost some shine after the event. Another avoidance of the complex energy issue by a Washington Elitist. Just another day if you ask me ETA: On second look, it says So, I am guessing they are indicating that more than just Libya has had major interruptions... maybe the ME protests paired with the deep well disaster in the Gulf is finally affecting us?
we need to face up to the fact that as long as we burn oil and gas, they are going to use it to control us time to find something else to burn politicians maybe?
Libya supplies oil to the European Union - that's why NATO is in there. Not our problem.... we have 'no dog in that fight'. So bobo the clown releases about a day and half worth of oil? Just another "Look what I did!" stunt, like shooting Bin Laden - yeah, maybe a good thing, but the kenyan crows and takes all the cudos for something he has little to actually do with....... electioneering is in full swing in the Chicago Mafiaosi camp........
